Babies and toddlers co-sleeping without meals or bedding stay free, but co-sleeping for elementary school children costs 2,000 yen including tax. The hotel does not list a private-hire bath, pool or childcare service, so the facilities for families with children are limited.

Hours are from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. and from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. The spring water is an alkaline simple sulfur onsen.
