Hanamaki Onsen Hotel Koyokan
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.31 out of 5 (3,635 reviews). Families often praise how comfortable the stay is with children: guests report that being able to watch YouTube in the room kept their children entertained, and that even on a same-day booking there were plenty of dishes children liked while adults were satisfied too. Guests also describe the staff as kind and helpful, for example in letting them use a baby bed. On the other hand, some guests report that the room's bath was covered in pink mold and did not feel clean, which is a point families with babies may want to note.

Overview
Hanamaki Onsen Hotel Koyokan is an onsen resort in Hanamaki Onsen, Iwate, where guests can bathe at three hotels in the group. Co-sleeping is free for children ages 0 to 2, and the gentle simple onsen water suits a child's first onsen experience. The communal baths are equipped with baby beds, baby baths and baby chairs, and the dining venue has children's chairs and tableware as well as strollers. Bed guards are available to borrow and there is a playroom, so families traveling with children are well supported.
Rooms
Every room is non-smoking, and there is a wide choice of Japanese- and Western-style types. The 12.5-tatami modern Japanese-style tatami rooms and the 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms, where you can slip off your shoes and relax, sleep up to 5 guests. Western-style options include twin rooms with beds 120 cm wide, double rooms with a king-size bed 200 cm wide, and spacious rooms lined with 4 or 5 beds, so you can choose to suit your family's size. Note that some rooms — the triple, the 5-bed room and the 15-tatami Japanese-style tatami room among them — have no bath or shower. Bed guards are available to borrow, though quantities are limited.
Dining
Dinner and breakfast are both served buffet-style, with dishes made from Iwate ingredients alongside crab, steak and desserts. The dining venue has children's chairs, tableware, paper bibs and strollers, so families with young children can eat with peace of mind. Children eat from the same buffet as adults.
Baths and Onsen
Guests staying at Hotel Koyokan may also use the communal baths at the neighboring Hotel Senshukaku and Hotel Hanamaki as they please, bathing their way around all three hotels. The water is a simple onsen — mild and gentle on the body — so children can bathe comfortably. Both the men's and women's communal baths have a baby bed, a baby bath and a baby chair. The neighboring Hotel Hanamaki also has a private-hire onsen bath for a fee (3,300 yen for 45 minutes), where a family can enjoy the onsen on their own.

On the first basement floor of the neighboring Hotel Hanamaki there is a playroom, a game corner and a laundry room that is free to use, all handy on a stay with children.
