forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.61 out of 5 (1,438 reviews). Families praise the Kids Care Room, where a microwave, a baby bath, baby soap and other items can be borrowed free of charge. Some guests report that they could order udon and chawanmushi for their children with in-room dining, so they did not need the baby food they had brought. Others write that a room with an open-air bath let them enjoy the onsen with peace of mind even while pregnant.

Overview
Kamogawakan is a hot-spring ryokan a 3-minute walk from Kamogawa Sea World in Kamogawa, Chiba. Two different onsen, the seaside Shiosai no Yu and Nagisa no Yu from the satoyama hills, can be enjoyed in the communal baths, the rooftop onsen pool and the semi-open-air baths in guest rooms. On the 4th floor, a Kids Care Room stocked with children's supplies and toys is available, and children ages 0 to 2 stay free of charge. A garden pool is also open in summer. With in-room dining, private dining rooms and a kids' meal, families can pick the dining style that suits them.
Rooms
The renovated guest rooms come in 8 types across 23 rooms, 20 of which have an onsen semi-open-air bath. On the top floor, the 8th, the Japanese-Western room with an onsen semi-open-air bath is 58 sq m for up to 5 guests, where you can soak in the onsen while looking out over the vast Pacific. The Indoor Terrace Japanese-Western Room Plus on the 4th floor is 56 sq m, with low beds 25 cm high and 120 cm wide arranged as a Hollywood twin, which is reassuring for families with small children. The Friendly Room, of which there is only one, is a 52 sq m room for up to 4 guests with an onsen semi-open-air bath and a terrace that can be entered while remaining in a wheelchair. The reasonably priced Twin Bedroom is 25 sq m for 1-2 guests, and up to 2 co-sleeping children under school age can be accommodated by joining the beds together.
Dining
For dinner you can choose the style you prefer: a kaiseki course at the private dining restaurant Yoshidaya overlooking the Japanese garden, in-room dining at your own pace, or the chef's live dining MAIWAI, which needs no advance reservation. The kids' meal is a Japanese-Western selection with tuna sashimi, simmered kinmedai (splendid alfonsino), bite-size steak, karaage (Japanese fried chicken) and chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard), priced at 3,850 yen including tax. At dinner, children in the upper grades of elementary school are served dishes equivalent to the adult menu, while children in the lower grades and children under school age booked with meals receive the kids' meal. Food allergies must be reported when booking, by 5 p.m. the day before, and for the 7 specified allergenic ingredients guests are asked at check-in to confirm the arrangements and sign for them. Single ingredients such as shrimp can be removed, but allergens that come from components such as wheat, egg, dairy and soy are widely present in seasonings and cannot be accommodated; the only exception is egg and dairy in the kids' meal. In-room dining may not be available depending on the room type.
Baths and Onsen
Two onsen with different types of spring water are available: Shiosai no Yu, from the ryokan's own source, a sodium chloride spring, and Nagisa no Yu, piped from the satoyama hills, a sulfur-containing sodium chloride and bicarbonate cold mineral spring. There are 2 communal baths, Tokiwa no Yu and Migiwa no Yu, which swap between men and women, plus 2 open-air baths. The rooftop onsen pool HARUKA can be enjoyed by the whole family together, wearing swimsuits or the dedicated bathing wear, which comes in adult and child sizes for both men and women. The private-hire bath Madoka no Yu can be reserved for 45 minutes at 1,100 yen including tax. There is no age limit for children using the communal baths, but children in diapers may not enter the tubs and can use only the washing area, and care is needed because the onsen minerals make the floor slippery. The communal baths have baby bath chairs and baby shampoo, in limited numbers, and a baby bed is installed in the changing room of Migiwa no Yu.
