Overview
Kishu Onsen Saika no Yu Futagojimaso is an onsen ryokan in Saikazaki, Wakayama City, looking out over the Kii Channel. Every room faces the sea: Japanese-style tatami rooms of 8 to 10 tatami mats and Japanese-Western rooms of 10 to 12 tatami mats, plus two-room suites, so families can easily find enough space. At dinner, the rate category for preschool-age children through the lower grades of elementary school is served a kids' meal, and the rate category for the upper grades of elementary school is served a Japanese kaiseki meal for children. Baby chairs are available in the dining venue. In summer a children's pool opens, and families can also play on a natural beach about a 3-minute walk away. There is no private-hire bath and no in-room dining.
Rooms
The rooms are simple Japanese-style tatami rooms with wide windows, giving sweeping views over the Kii Channel and the sea at Wakanoura. The standard rooms are 6 sea-facing Japanese-style tatami rooms of 8 to 10 tatami mats, 12 sea-facing Japanese-Western rooms of 10 to 12 tatami mats with 2 beds, and 1 sea-facing Japanese-Western room of 15 tatami mats with 2 beds. The Japanese-Western rooms were renovated in 2023 and have twin beds. Rooms are on floors 2 to 5, and the floor cannot be specified. For families there are two-room suites. Two-Room Suite Type A has a sea-facing 12-tatami Japanese-style tatami room plus a second Japanese-style tatami room equivalent to about 12 tatami mats (8 tatami mats plus a wood-floored area), with a balcony; open the sliding partition doors and it can be used as one space equivalent to about 24 tatami mats. Two-Room Suite Type B has a sea-facing 12-tatami Japanese-style tatami room plus an 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami room, with an open-air bath on the veranda looking out at the sea. That in-room open-air bath can be used from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next morning and from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. The in-room open-air baths and indoor baths are not onsen.

Dining
Dinner and breakfast are both served in the dining venue as standard. At dinner, the rate category for the upper grades of elementary school is served a Japanese kaiseki meal for children, with smaller portions and fewer dishes than the adult kaiseki. The rate category for preschool-age children through the lower grades of elementary school is served a kids' meal with fried dishes and the like. If you would like your child to have the same meal as an adult, you need to book at the adult rate. For an additional 1,100 yen per adult, 770 yen per elementary school child and 550 yen per preschool-age child (tax included), you can dine in a private room, a separate guest room used for meals rather than the room you are staying in. Private dining requires 2 or more adults, and the number of rooms is limited. Meals start between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. as a rule, and if you would like to eat earlier, they can be ready from 5:45 p.m. For allergies, the kitchen accommodates requests as far as it can, but because dishes are cooked with the same equipment as ingredients containing allergens, allergen removal is not guaranteed. Any accommodation requires advance notice by phone, and the ryokan may decline to serve a meal if there is a risk of a severe reaction.
Baths and Onsen
The communal bath Hanafuri has an indoor bath and an open-air bath. The spring source is Ryumonzan Onsen, and the spring water is a sodium chloride cold mineral spring that is diluted with water, heated, and filtered and recirculated. Pregnancy (especially the early and late stages) is listed among the conditions for which bathing is contraindicated. Bathing hours for staying guests are 3 p.m. to midnight and 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. There are 4 steps on the way to the communal bath, so watch your footing if you are carrying a child. There is no private-hire bath. Guests with tattoos are asked to refrain from using the communal bath and to use the bath in their room instead. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may get into the bathtub is not stated, so please confirm in advance.
Family-Friendly Features
A baby bed is set up in the women's communal bath, and baby chairs are available in the dining venue. Toys and other items are available to borrow, and 2 portable beds and 1 wheelchair can also be borrowed (reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, and arranged on the day if available). Children under 3 who need no meals, bedding or similar stay free of charge, and guests are asked not to count them as preschool-age children when booking. The bathing tax of 150 yen applies to adults only. Children booked at the paid child and preschool-age rates receive a towel, a bath towel, a toothbrush and a yukata, just as adults do. Whether co-sleeping is allowed and how many children may co-sleep are not stated, so please confirm when booking. There is a ramp at the entrance, but the building is basically not barrier-free, and there are no barrier-free guest rooms. Every floor can be reached by elevator, but there are steps in the building and inside the rooms, so watch your footing when moving around with a stroller. The game corner has retro Showa-era games along with a free mini table-tennis table and a ring toss, open from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. There is also a karaoke room.

It is open from around late July to around the end of August, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., though this changes from year to year. Staying guests can also use it from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. before check-in and from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on their checkout day. The sandy shore just below is a natural beach: it is neither the ryokan's private beach nor a public swimming beach, and there are no lifeguards, so children must be accompanied by a guardian and everyone needs to take great care. Whether swim diapers are allowed is not stated, so please confirm in advance. About a 3-minute walk away is Nadanohama, a natural beach where children can explore the rocks and collect shells.
