A babymoon is the trip the two of you take before your baby arrives. Because you look forward to it so much, a long transfer or an uncomfortable room can wear you out before anything else. If you are torn between an Okinawa resort and a Japanese hot spring town, you will feel more at ease if you decide on the hotel before the sights. Check the travel time from the airport to the hotel first, then choose the bathroom style, and finally confirm in-room dining and late checkout. Kids Stay lists 60 family hotels in Okinawa, Hakone and Beppu. For this article we picked hotels using only conditions confirmed in official information.
This article does not cover whether travel is advisable at a given week of pregnancy, and it does not cover airline boarding rules for pregnant passengers. Please check with your doctor and your airline before you go.

Choose by Travel Time and Bathroom Style
For a babymoon, choose your destination for easy travel and real rest rather than for sights. Here is how Okinawa resorts and onsen towns compare, based on the hotels in this article.
| What to compare | Okinawa resorts | Onsen towns (Hakone, Beppu) |
|---|---|---|
| Airport or station to hotel | About 15 to 75 minutes by car from Naha Airport | About 10 minutes on foot from Hakone-Yumoto Station; in Beppu, about 15 minutes by car or by bus from Beppu Station |
| Getting there without a rental car | Airport limousine bus, local bus, Yui Rail monorail | On foot or by bus from the station |
| Stairs and steps inside the hotel | Varies by hotel, check before booking | Varies by hotel, check before booking |
| Bathroom style | Private in-room baths, rooms with an open-air bath, natural hot springs at some hotels | Private family baths (kazokuburo), in-room hot springs, simple springs |
| How you rest | Stay at one resort by the beach and pool | Relax in your room with in-room meals and onsen |
If you want to rest by the sea at a hotel close to the airport, Okinawa is a good fit. If you want a bath just for the two of you and meals in your room, a ryokan in Hakone or Beppu is a better match. Of the 60 hotels listed on Kids Stay, private in-room baths or rooms with an open-air bath are confirmed at 27, in-room dining at 30 and late checkout at 24.
Okinawa: Skip the Rental Car and Stay at One Resort
Thanks to its warm climate, Okinawa's main island feels like a resort all year round. However, many hotels in the north, such as in Motobu and Nakijin, are more than 90 minutes by car from Naha Airport. For a babymoon, we recommend staying at one resort near the airport in the Naha area, Chatan or Onna. All six hotels below are within about 75 minutes by car from Naha Airport.
Near Naha Airport: Ryukyu Onsen Senagajima Hotel
It is about 15 minutes by car or about 20 minutes by local bus from Naha Airport, so you can rest on the day you arrive.

Rates start from about ¥40,000 per night for two adults, and guests on Rakuten Travel (a major Japanese booking site) rate it 4.4 (1,304 reviews).

Onsen Towns: Private Family Baths and In-Room Hot Springs in Hakone and Beppu
If you choose a hot spring town, a hotel with a private family bath (kazokuburo, a bath reserved for just your party) or an in-room hot spring is easier than the large shared bath. Hakone is a hot spring area close to central Tokyo, and Beppu is a famous onsen town where hot spring steam rises over the streets. Hotels give different guidance on bathing during pregnancy, so check each hotel's bathing rules on its official site or booking site. Among the hotels listed on Kids Stay, private family baths are confirmed at 10 and simple springs (tanjunsen, a mild, low-mineral onsen type) at 8.

Choose Your Room by In-Room Dining and Late Checkout
During pregnancy, even walking to and from the restaurant takes effort. At a hotel with in-room dining you can eat dinner in your room and rest right away, and with late checkout you don't have to rush in the morning. Whether in-room dining means room service or a full course brought to your room, how late checkout runs and whether it costs extra all vary by hotel, so check before booking.
Of the hotels in this article, the ones where in-room baths, in-room dining and late checkout are all confirmed are Halekulani Okinawa, Hotel Monterey Okinawa Spa & Resort and Hotel Meilleur Coeur Shogetsu. Take a look at hotels with late checkout as well.

3 Things to Check Before Booking
Non-smoking rooms
All rooms at Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort are confirmed non-smoking, but at other hotels this may vary by room type. When booking, check on the official site or booking site that the room information shows it as non-smoking.
Elevators and stairs
At some hotels you may need to use stairs to reach your room or the baths. For peace of mind, ask the hotel in advance which floor your room is on, whether there is an elevator and whether there are steps on the way to the baths.
Cancellation policies
Book a babymoon on the assumption that you may need to change plans depending on how you feel right before departure. Choose a rate with a generous free cancellation window, and be sure to check when cancellation fees start. We cover when to book and how to choose a rate in when to book your hotel.
Looking Ahead to Your First Trip After the Birth
If you fall for an area on your babymoon, coming back as a family after your baby is born is a lovely idea. Of the hotels featured here, Ryukyu Onsen Senagajima Hotel and Vessel Hotel Campana Okinawa are confirmed to lend baby cribs, and Vessel Hotel Campana Okinawa also has Welcome Baby certified rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many weeks pregnant is a good time to go?
The right timing and whether you can fly depend on how your pregnancy is progressing, so this article does not make that call. Talk with your doctor, and check your airline's rules for pregnant passengers before you leave. Plans may change, so booking a rate with a flexible cancellation policy gives you peace of mind.
Is it okay to soak in an onsen while pregnant?
Bathing rules differ by hotel, so check each hotel's guidance. If the large shared bath feels like too much, you can choose a hotel with a private family bath just for the two of you or a private in-room bath.
Is Okinawa a good babymoon destination in winter?
Thanks to its warm climate, Okinawa's main island feels like a resort all year round. Halekulani Okinawa has an indoor pool open year-round, so you can enjoy your time at the resort even in seasons when swimming in the sea is difficult. Pool operating periods vary by hotel, so check before booking.
Why book independently instead of a package tour?
Booking independently lets you look at the conditions you need, such as being close to the airport, an in-room bath and in-room dining, and choose the hotel yourself. You can also set departure times and an itinerary at a relaxed pace that suits how you feel, and check each hotel's cancellation policy before you book.
Final Thoughts
For a babymoon hotel, three things are enough: a short transfer, a bathroom you can use comfortably and a room where you can truly relax. In Okinawa, stay at one resort close to the airport; in an onsen town, choose a ryokan with a private family bath or an in-room hot spring. We hope the two of you have a restful, relaxing trip.
