Overview
Akiu Onsen Saryo Soen is a Japanese ryokan in Akiu Onsen, Sendai, built in the sukiya style (a refined, teahouse-inspired style of Japanese architecture). Of its 26 rooms, set within a Japanese garden of about 8,000 tsubo (a traditional Japanese unit of land area), the 10 detached rooms are the ones families with children can use; the main building rooms cannot accept children. Co-sleeping is available for children who have not yet started elementary school. Children under school age are served a children's menu, and elementary school children pay a child rate that depends on their school year, with the children's menu for lower grades and the same kaiseki cuisine as adults for upper grades. There is a communal bath, and 9 of the 10 detached rooms have an onsen open-air bath; there is no private-hire bath.
Rooms
Of the 26 rooms in total, 10 are detached rooms and 16 are in the main building. Families with children stay in the detached rooms, as the main building rooms cannot accept children. Each detached room is a two-room suite with its own distinct furnishings, and 9 of the 10 have an onsen open-air bath in the room. Reaching the first-floor rooms of the main building from the lobby involves 26 steps in total, going up and back down, and there is no guest elevator in the building.
Dining
Guests staying in a main building room dine at Ryotei Hagoromo, the ryokan's traditional Japanese restaurant, and in-room dining is only for the detached rooms with an open-air bath. Ryotei Hagoromo has 13 private rooms in all, including rooms where 8 people can dine together. It is on the second floor, and since there is no elevator in the building, you need to use the stairs; from a room on the second floor of the main building, you go back to the lobby first and then take the stairs. Children under school age are served a children's menu. For elementary school children, those in the lower grades pay 50% of the adult rate and are served the children's menu, while those in the upper grades pay 70% of the adult rate and are served the same kaiseki cuisine as adults. If your child has ingredients they cannot eat or any allergies, you can inquire with the ryokan.
Baths and Onsen
The baths are the indoor bath and the open-air bath of the communal bath, plus the in-room open-air baths in 9 of the detached rooms. There is no private-hire bath. The spring water is a sodium-calcium chloride spring, and bathing is not available from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Family-Friendly Points
Co-sleeping is accepted for children under school age. If a child under 3 uses bedding only, with no meals, a separate charge of 3,300 yen is paid on site. In that case the child is not included in the number of guests booked, and their age and number must be written in the comments field when booking. Stays with children are limited to the detached rooms, as the main building rooms cannot accept children.
