Taradake Onsen Hotel Kanigoten
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.72 out of 5 (592 reviews). Guests traveling with children thank the hotel for accommodating a child's food allergies individually, and guests also report that the starry sky was clearly visible from the open-air bath in their room, to their children's delight. On the other hand, some note that the communal bath was crowded with day-use bathers, leaving them unable to relax.

Overview
Taradake Onsen Hotel Kanigoten is an onsen resort in Tara-cho, Saga, with 16 suites looking out over the Ariake Sea. Every room has a semi-open-air bath or an open-air bath, so families can enjoy the onsen on their own without worrying about other guests. There are children's plans with rates divided finely by age, from preschool-age children through elementary school, as well as individual children's menu items, and the restaurant gives priority to families with young children when assigning its private rooms. There are steps inside the building and in the guest rooms, so take care when moving around with a stroller.
Rooms
All 16 rooms are suites, and every one has a semi-open-air bath or an open-air bath. The main building offers 7 room types, all with ocean views, and there are 4 detached buildings with an open-air bath and an indoor bath (capacity 4), roomy enough for a family stay. The Junior Suite is the room closest to the sea, a 16-tatami (50 sq m) Japanese-style room on the first floor of the main building, with a private open-air bath on its 30 sq m terrace looking out over the Ariake Sea and Mount Fugen. Guest rooms have Western-style toilets. There are steps inside the building and in the rooms, so take care when moving around with a stroller.
Dining
Children's rates are divided finely by age. For children in the upper elementary school grades, one night with two meals is 22,000 yen, with a children's crab kaiseki dinner. For children in the lower elementary school grades and children under school age, one night with two meals is 19,800 yen with a kids' meal that includes crab, or 15,400 yen with a kids' meal. For a stay with preschool-age children only, the options are 12,100 yen with meals and no futon bedding, or 8,800 yen with futon bedding and no meals, while children ages 3 and over can take meals only with no futon bedding for 5,500 yen, so families traveling with a baby can choose only what they need. Individual children's menu items are also available at 880 yen and 550 yen, such as karaage (Japanese fried chicken, 5 pieces). The restaurant ebb and flow has only a limited number of private rooms, but gives priority to families with young children. Meals accommodating allergies can also be arranged.
Baths and Onsen
The communal bath, Ariakekai no Yu, has 2 saunas of differing character on both the men's and women's sides, a cold-water bath deep enough to stand in, and a view open-air bath overlooking the Ariake Sea. Since every room has a semi-open-air bath or an open-air bath, families can also enjoy the onsen privately, apart from the communal bath.
Family-friendly features
Rates let you choose meals and futon bedding separately even for a stay with preschool-age children only, and thoughtful touches include Western-style toilets in the rooms and priority seating for families with young children in the private dining rooms. The entire property, rooms and public areas alike, is non-smoking, and electronic cigarettes are not permitted either. Humidifiers are available to borrow in the rooms. There are steps inside the building and in the rooms, so it is reassuring to check in advance if you will be using a stroller.
