forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.33 out of 5 (3,890 reviews). Several families report that the outdoor heated pool has a slide and that swim rings are available to borrow, so they could enjoy it together with their children. Guests also posted that breakfast, where you grill the dried horse mackerel yourself, was a hit with the whole family. On the other hand, some guests felt that in certain rooms the toilet was spacious but the place to wash your hands was set apart from it, which made it awkward to use.

Overview
Itonomori Ryokuen is a natural hot spring ryokan in Ito Onsen, with onsen that is 100% flowing directly from the source. The free playroom has indoor play equipment and a picture book corner, and the changing room of the women's communal bath has a baby bed. Breakfast is a Japanese spread served free of charge, with all-you-can-eat dried horse mackerel from Ito. Barrier-free rooms with few steps are available as well, so families with small children can stay with peace of mind. In summer, the pool on the grounds also opens.
Rooms
Guest rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms with a retro Showa-era feel, ranging from 8 to 16 tatami mats depending on the number of guests. The standard Japanese-style rooms are smoking rooms, and every room has a bidet toilet. There is also a non-smoking room with low beds, limited to one room per day; because the beds are low, co-sleeping with a small child is easy. The barrier-free Premium Room, designed with few steps, is an 18-tatami Japanese-Western room that is easy to use with a wheelchair and has a bidet toilet (no bath, for 2 to 6 guests, non-smoking).
Dining
Breakfast is an 11-item Japanese meal using dried horse mackerel landed at Ito Port, locally produced eggs and miso soup, served free of charge, self-service style. The popular dried horse mackerel can be refilled as many times as you like, and the drink bar is free as well. Plans generally include breakfast only, with no dinner.
Baths and Onsen
The pride of the ryokan is its 100% natural onsen flowing directly from the source. The large open-air baths and indoor baths, separate for men and women, can be used 24 hours a day except during cleaning times. The changing room of the women's communal bath has a baby bed, making it easier to get ready to bathe when traveling with an infant. The private-hire open-air bath beside the mountain stream (50 minutes for 1,890 yen, reservation by phone required) comes with a 24-tatami living area, so families can relax on their own. Guests with tattoos are not permitted to bathe.
