It is certified as a Welcome Baby accommodation by Mikihouse Child-Rearing Research Institute, and its guest rooms include a room called the Welcome Baby Room, along with amenities such as children's slippers and baby shampoo. At dinner, children who have not yet started elementary school are served a kids' plate and elementary school children a junior plate, and families can also use the children's indoor heated pool.
Rooms
There are several room types, including 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms, 33.2 sq m Japanese-Western rooms combining two single beds with a 6-mat tatami area, and 33 sq m Japanese-style rooms furnished with two beds. The Japanese-style tatami rooms take 1 to 5 guests and the Japanese-Western rooms 1 to 4, and many plans have set children's rates. The Royal Suite with an open-air bath (103.2 sq m) and the Executive Suite (64.6 sq m), which has a bedroom, a living room and a Japanese-style tatami room, each take 2 to 6 guests and suit family stays. The Royal Suite's open-air bath is not fed by a natural hot spring. Guest rooms generally have no indoor bath, so guests use the communal baths. In the Japanese-style tatami rooms, laying out the futon is self-service. Connecting rooms, which let you move between two adjoining rooms, are also available.
Dining
Meals in the restaurant are served from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Unless the plan states otherwise, dinner is a kids' plate for children under school age and a junior plate for elementary school children. If you would like your child to be served the same dishes as the adults, the child must be booked as an adult. Meals accommodating allergies can also be arranged, but the range of what can be accommodated differs by property, so please confirm before booking.
Baths and Onsen
There is a Japanese-style communal bath fed by the hot spring (3 p.m. to 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.) and a Western-style communal bath with a variety of facilities including onsen water and an infrared sauna, open during the same hours. The onsen is akayu, a reddish water of the sodium-calcium chloride type; the spring water is also described as a simple onsen and a sodium chloride spring, and it is said to be beneficial for joint pain, muscle pain and neuralgia. A separate bathing tax of 150 yen per person per day applies to guests aged 12 and over. Because guest rooms have no indoor bath, bathing with young children also centers on the communal baths.
