forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.33 out of 5 (1,162 reviews). Several reviews praise the tatami-floored communal bath, which is not slippery and lets young children and family members unsteady on their feet bathe with peace of mind. Guests also mention enjoying the Akabeko papier-mache cow painting experience as a family. At dinner, the kamameshi (rice steamed in its own small pot) cooked in front of guests is well received, while some report that the front desk was crowded during the morning checkout period.
