forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.18 out of 5 (511 reviews). Guests praise the wide range of sizes in the children's yukata, and the breakfast buffet for its variety, with vegetables, fruit and zunda mochi (rice cakes with sweet edamame paste) that families with children enjoy. Satisfaction is high, helped by access to the spacious onsen at the main building, though guests traveling with a one-year-old reported that the walkway from the annex to the main building has steps and a pond, which made carrying a child along it hard work.

Family-Friendly Features
Families with children are warmly welcomed. The summer-only Baden pool, open from July 17 to August 31 in 2026, has a 25 m heated pool and an outdoor children's pool, along with ultrasonic baths, whirlpool baths, walking baths and reclining baths. Staying guests can use it free of charge, and swim rings, goggles and kickboards are available to borrow, but day-use visits and pool-only visits are not possible.
