forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.36 out of 5 (936 reviews). Among families with children, some guests say that because the onsen has a baby bath, they could bathe with their little ones with peace of mind. Many reviews also mention the attentive staff and receiving sweets at checkout. Guests praise the location close to the station and the breakfast. On the other hand, some feel the hotel's events were rather difficult for children and would have liked something a little gentler.

Breakfast is prepared using cooking equipment and oil shared with allergens including egg, wheat, milk, buckwheat, crab, peanut and shrimp, so it is not a fully allergy-friendly menu.
