forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.53 out of 5 (1,744 reviews). Guests often note that children's amenities and a toilet-training seat available to borrow made the stay comfortable even with young children. The free yonaki soba noodles served from 9:30 p.m. are praised for their flavor and seem to have become a treat for families after dinner. Several guests also report that the communal bath is spacious and clean, and that their children enjoyed bathing there.
