forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.65 out of 5 (424 reviews). Guests praise the way the communal bath is reached by a dedicated monorail or cable car, which makes the trip there part of the fun. Some also say that, depending on the room, they were not bothered by noise from next door and had a quiet stay, which suits a relaxed family visit. On the other hand, the route to the onsen wing involves stepping outside for a stretch, so in the colder months the walk can feel like a chore.
