Kawara My An Onsen Resort on the bank of the Pho Loi River in Phu Vang District in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue opened to tourists in December 2020. Its proximity to iconic tourist destinations in Hue like the Perfume River and the Imperial Citadel give the resort a plus.

Its architecture is a harmonious combination between Japanese design and the royal style of Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam's last royal family that ruled the country from 1802 until 1945.
