Katayamazu Onsen Tokigasane
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.22 out of 5 (1,074 reviews). Guests praise the in-room open-air baths for both the water temperature and the setting, and families note that the 11 a.m. checkout leaves time for an unhurried morning. Some guests report that while the all-inclusive lounge offers a wide range of alcoholic drinks, a few more soft drinks would make it easier to use with children.

Natural onsen overlooking Shibayamagata, and rooms with an open-air bath
Natural onsen overlooking Shibayamagata, and rooms with an open-air bath
From the open-air bath and the guest rooms you can look out over Shibayamagata, said to change color as many as seven times a day, and the sacred Mount Hakusan. The spring water is 100% natural onsen welling up from the bed of Shibayamagata, a sodium-calcium chloride spring that keeps you warm long after your bath. Guest rooms include Japanese-style tatami rooms, purely Japanese-style special rooms and modern Japanese-Western rooms, as well as rooms with an open-air bath and sweeping views of the lake, so families whose children dislike the communal bath can take their time in the open-air bath in their own room.

Children under school age, ages 2 to 5, are charged 50% of the adult rate and are served a kids' meal for dinner plus a children's breakfast. Elementary school children are charged 70% of the adult rate and are served a kaiseki course (a multi-course Japanese meal) with two or three fewer dishes than the adult version.
Can the ryokan accommodate a child's food allergies?
expand_more
Allergies are accommodated as far as possible, but you must tell the ryokan the details when you book. Wheat and soy allergies cannot be accommodated, and requests made on the day of your stay or based on personal likes and dislikes cannot be accommodated either.
Do children who co-sleep get futon bedding and in-house loungewear?
expand_more
Elementary school children and children under school age who are booked as guests receive futon bedding, in-house loungewear, slippers, a towel and a toothbrush. Children who co-sleep are not provided with the set of in-house loungewear and other items.
How many people can use the open-air bath in the room with a child?
expand_more
The room's private open-air bath has a capacity of one person. Each room type also has a separate indoor bathtub, so families bathing together use that instead.
