Dining
Dinner and breakfast are both served in the restaurant building. For children, a kids' plate is available at both meals. At dinner it has a main dish such as specially selected Awaji beef prepared for children, with an organic salad, fried food, udon, chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard) and more; at breakfast, an organic salad, bacon, a fried egg and more. Children aged 4 and over are charged the accommodation rate, and switching their dinner and breakfast to a kids' plate is free of charge. For children aged 3 and under, rice and miso soup can be provided free of charge on request. Requests to switch to children's meals and allergy notices must be made by 3 days before your stay; let the hotel know about allergies in the remarks field when you book. The kitchen will remove allergens wherever it can, but this may sometimes be difficult. You can ask to have baby food warmed at the restaurant building or the reception building. In-room dining can be chosen only in the rooms for guests traveling with their dog, for an additional 2,420 yen per person per meal (tax and service charge included).
Baths
Every room has a hinoki (Japanese cypress) bath, so the family can bathe on their own. Guests can also have a private-hire spa building, with a sauna and a communal bath, to themselves for 60 minutes; it is open from 3:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Time slots are assigned in order of reservation, so your preferred time may not be available. The enzyme bath requires a separate advance reservation. The water is not onsen. The hotel's FAQ says that there is no communal bath and that every room has a hinoki bath. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers can get into the tub at the private-hire spa is not stated, so please confirm with the hotel.
Family-Friendly Features
Children aged 0 to 3 can co-sleep, up to 2 per room, and co-sleeping children are not included in the number of guests when you book. If you would like your child to co-sleep, you need to contact the hotel before booking. The accommodation rate applies from age 4, and children aged 4 and over count toward room capacity just as adults do. Some booking sites list, in their children's rate tables, upper and lower elementary school children and infants and toddlers with bedding at 100% of the adult rate, and infants and toddlers without bedding as not accepted. This conflicts with the co-sleeping information, so please confirm before booking. Crib or baby futon rentals are not listed. There is no pool.
