forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3 out of 5 (176 reviews). Several families with children have written about their stays, and many mention how delicious the food was. Some guests say the small number of rooms kept things calm and quiet, and others say the owner couple were attentive. On the other hand, some report that their 2-year-old was too restless for them to enjoy a relaxed meal, that the bath seemed as if it might be visible from outside, and that the road to the hotel was bumpy.

Overview
Hotel Shalom Okura Classic is a classic-style hotel with 8 rooms on Hatoriko Kogen, a plateau at an elevation of about 1,000 m in Tenei-mura, Fukushima. Rooms come in four types: Superior Twin, Deluxe Twin, an 11.5-tatami Japanese-style tatami room and a 13.5-tatami Japanese-style tatami room. The largest capacity is 5 guests, in the 13.5-tatami room. There is a communal bath and a Finnish-style sauna. No playroom is listed, and there is no childcare service or pool. The atmosphere inside is calm and adult-oriented. On the room-only plan, elementary school children pay 80% of the adult rate.
Rooms
There are 8 rooms in four types: the Superior Twin (33 sq m, sleeps 3), the Deluxe Twin (29 sq m, sleeps 3), a 13.5-tatami Japanese-style tatami room (sleeps 5) and an 11.5-tatami Japanese-style tatami room (sleeps 4). The Superior Twin and Deluxe Twin have Simmons beds, and both come with a spacious powder room. The 13.5-tatami room is a corner room with windows on two sides, and the hotel recommends it for families and groups. The 11.5-tatami room has a distinctly Japanese character, with the faint scent of tatami in the air. In the 11.5-tatami and 13.5-tatami rooms, staff do not come to the room after check-in. The hotel's facility list includes connecting rooms (some rooms only, reservation required). Every room has a mountain view and a toilet with a washlet function.
Dining
Dinner is a full course that includes an A5-grade Japanese Black beef fillet steak. The beef can be swapped for pork or chicken, and the hotel says allergy-conscious dishes can also be arranged. Whether there is a kids' menu or children's chairs is not stated, so please check your child's meals with the hotel in advance. Room service is not available, and there is no in-room dining. The room-only plan includes neither breakfast nor dinner, and the number of meals for children follows the meal terms of the plan you book.
Baths
Large windows in the communal bath look out on a primeval beech forest. Bathing hours are from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. and from 6 a.m. to around 9:30 a.m. the next morning. A Finnish-style sauna is attached; unlike a Japanese-style sauna, it is set to a fairly moderate temperature. The water is not onsen. There is no private-hire bath facility, but on the room-only plan a private-hire bath may be available depending on conditions and room availability on the day, and the hotel notes that this cannot be guaranteed. Whether children in diapers may get into the bathtub is not stated, so please confirm with the hotel.
Family-Friendly Features
The hotel states that children can stay. In the rate table for the room-only plan billed as "Recharge in the Communal Bath and Sauna!", co-sleeping is shown as available for up to 4 people. This rate table appears in the plan details for the 11.5-tatami room (1 to 4 guests), and no co-sleeping numbers are given for the other room types. On this plan, elementary school children in both the upper and lower grades pay 80% of the adult rate. Babies and young children on this plan are 3,000 yen with bedding or 2,500 yen without bedding, with no meals in either case; they cannot be booked with meals. The age bands for babies and young children, the number of co-sleepers per bed and how other plans handle children are not stated, so please confirm with the hotel. No information is published about borrowing a crib or baby futon. When you book, please let the hotel know your children's ages. No playroom is listed, and there is no childcare service and no pool. Inside, the hotel has a calm, refined, adult atmosphere, surrounded by antiques. It sits near the top of a plateau at 1,000 m, and there is no air conditioning. The average midsummer temperature is 23-24°C, and mornings drop to 13-16°C, so pack clothing you can layer. The room-only plan comes with late checkout until 12 p.m.; standard checkout is at 10 a.m.
