Hotel Hawaiians
Three onsen baths, one covered walk to the water park
About this hotel
Hotel Hawaiians leans into the resort's hot-spring side more than any other wing, with three separate large public baths drawing on natural spring water rather than a single shared facility. A connecting walkway gives guests direct indoor access to the resort's main water park building, so a family can move between a soak and the pools without stepping outside, which matters most on a cold or wet day on the Fukushima coast. Rooms run Japanese-style, several barefoot-accessible, alongside Japanese-Western hybrid and Western-style layouts, with a Japanese-Western Suite and a Kizuna Suite sized for larger, multi-generational bookings. Toddlers get a slide-heavy pool day while grandparents get a proper bathing routine, all under the same roof, which is the strongest single reason to pick this wing over the resort's other three.
- Three large public onsen baths
- Indoor connection to the main water park
- Kizuna Suite for larger groups
- Japanese, Japanese-Western and Western room styles
Our take
Hotel Hawaiians suits a multi-generational booking where at least one adult wants a genuine bathing programme rather than a quick shower after the pools, and the indoor walkway to the water park removes the usual trade-off between suite comfort and pool access. It suits this less well if the priority is being the closest possible room to the pools themselves, since VirPort holds that position instead, or if the group wants the outdoor, tent-based feel of Mauna Village over a conventional hotel floor.
- ✓Book a Japanese-style room if the group prefers floor sleeping and wants the full onsen atmosphere the wing is known for.
- ✓Reserve the Kizuna Suite early for a multi-generational group, since its layout is built specifically for larger shared bookings.
- ✓Use the indoor walkway rather than the outdoor path between the hotel and the water park on a rainy Fukushima day.
Why we love it
- Three separate large hot-spring baths on site
- Indoor walkway straight to the water park
- Room mix built for multi-generational groups
- Full Japanese-style bathing atmosphere throughout
Why guests love itA stay here settles into a rhythm fast: pools in the morning while the water park is quiet after the early-entry hour, a long soak in one of the three onsen baths after lunch while the kids nap, and dinner before a second, shorter pool session. The covered walkway removes the usual back-and-forth hassle of leaving a hotel to reach a water park, and the Kizuna Suite gives a three-generation group enough separate space that nobody is negotiating bathroom schedules by day two of the trip.
