forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.13 out of 5 (847 reviews). Guests praise the wide variety of baths, saying they can move from one to another among the kiln bath, saunas, mud pack and carbonated spring. Some also mention that their children were delighted by the manga corner in the waiting room. On the other hand, guests note that the communal bath draws many families with children and can get lively, which may bother those hoping for a quiet soak.

Overview
Ibusuki Onsen Ibusuki Kokoro no Yado sits in the Ibusuki Onsen hot-spring area and operates as one with the adjoining day-use onsen facility Ibusuki Kokoro no Yu. Alongside the communal bath there are family baths carved out of granite and the Yuyu Kaibo ganbanyoku (a heated-stone sauna), and guest rooms range from Japanese-style tatami rooms to Western-style rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and capsule rooms. The Kyoma-size tatami rooms and the Japanese-Western rooms, which combine beds and futon bedding for up to 5 guests, are easy for families to use, and there is also a kids' corner with toys and picture books.
Rooms
Guest rooms range from Japanese-style tatami rooms to Western-style rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and capsule rooms. The Kyoma tatami rooms suit families well: the inn recommends them for guests traveling with children and for groups, and their spacious tatami setting is easy to relax in. They accommodate 2 to 4 guests. The Japanese-Western rooms combine Japanese and Western styles, with 2 beds plus 3 sets of futon bedding for up to 5 guests, making them well suited to family trips. The 8-tatami-mat Japanese-style rooms renovated in 2020 are Japanese-style twins with 2 single beds, pairing the comfort of tatami with the convenience of beds. The Deluxe Twin, in which the bath and toilet are in separate rooms, suits family stays as well as business travel. Child rates are set for several room types, including twin, double, Japanese-style tatami and Japanese-Western rooms. There are also capsule-style rooms, but these are spaces for solo travelers and business guests. Please note that there are no non-smoking rooms, so guests cannot choose a non-smoking or smoking room.
Dining
Dinner and breakfast are both served at Kappo Ajisai, a dining room reserved for staying guests, where you can enjoy full Japanese kaiseki courses and Japanese set meals. Dinner is served from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. The dishes may change depending on what is available.
Baths
Guests can use the communal bath at the adjoining day-use onsen facility Kokoro no Yu, with their room key serving as the bathing ticket. The spring water is a chloride spring, and there are 6 kinds of baths and 2 kinds of saunas. Separate from the communal bath, there are also open-air family baths carved out of granite, in rooms called Mikage no Ma, Hyotan no Ma, En no Ma and Hinoki no Ma. Hinoki no Ma is barrier-free, so a family member who needs nursing care can be accompanied. Note that the baths in the guest rooms use heated water rather than onsen water.
Family-friendly features
