One of the famed resort hotels in Japan, the Entetsu Hotel Empire, stopped its business on January 6, 2009. The 36-year-old flagship hotel under the Entetsu Hotel Group had accommodated with over 10 million guests since its opening in 1972. On June 29, 2009 however, the old hotel was reborn as the Hotel Wellseason Hamanako after six months renovation work.

Among many attractions for hotel clients, such as nice eating places and rooms in various types, we are especially interested in seeing their new Onsen facilities. The Onsen bathhouse named “Hanasaki-no-yu” or Flower Blossom Onsen is newly opened for hotel guests. The new Onsen is also provided for one day travelers so you can enjoy quick bath without stay overnight.
