Located near the center of Tottori Prefecture, Hawai Onsen sits on the western shore of Lake Togo and offers the luxurious experience of soaking in hot springs while gazing out over the tranquil lake.

The spring water, which bubbles up from beneath the lakebed, is a sodium-calcium chloride spring known for its beautifying effects on the skin and its ability to warm the body to the core. Mount Daisen, seen across the lake, offers a different view with each visit, adding to the area's charm. Be sure not to miss the magical scenery, such as the lake bathed in the morning glow or the rising steam over the water on winter mornings. In addition to accommodations, the area features casual footbaths and a lakeside walking path, allowing visitors to spend a relaxing time amid seasonal landscapes. The onsen ryokan "Bokoro" in Hawai Onsen is also said to have inspired locations in the popular manga Detective Conan.

At the entrance to the onsen town, you’ll find the Togo Onsen Tourist Information Center, where you can pick up maps and sightseeing brochures—an ideal place to begin your trip. Rental bicycles are also available, making it easy to enjoy a leisurely ride around the lake. If you want to make the most of your visit to Hawai Onsen, start with a stop at the Togo Onsen Tourist Information Center.
