forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.22 out of 5 (5,138 reviews). One family reports that their 4-year-old loved the communal bath and the breakfast, which brought them back for another stay, and guests praise the room size, noting there is room to open suitcases in a triple room. Guests say breakfast offers a wide selection, including tuna, that children enjoy, though at busy times some dishes run out and it can be hard to eat at a relaxed pace. Some guests also mention noticing the smell of e-cigarettes on the guest-room floor.

Local Aomori dishes such as scallops grilled in their shell with miso, kenoshiru vegetable soup, grated yam soup, and rapeseed-blossom herring pickles are laid out alongside drinks including apple juice made in Aomori Prefecture. In the evening the same restaurant, Furukawatei, changes to an izakaya style, so families with small children should keep the atmosphere in mind when considering dinner there. Dinner is not included for elementary school children who are co-sleeping, and a child's dinner is not included even when the adults book a plan with dinner, so if you would like to add one, you must contact the hotel directly by the day before your stay.
