forumWhat families say

Rakuten Travel rating 4.64 out of 5 (497 reviews). Guests praise having an onsen bath of their own in each room, letting them soak with their children whenever they like. Some report that their children were delighted by the barbecue dinner, the fireworks and the kids' plate, and others write about bathing as a family under the stars at night. One point to note: some guests found the water temperature controls hard to understand and got straight into water at 50°C.

Overview

Koshikano Onsen Ryokan & Glamping is a hot-spring inn in the hills of Kirishima, about 15 minutes by car from Kagoshima Airport. Every room has a bath flowing straight from the source, ready to use 24 hours a day. Alongside the ryokan there are glamping units that gather the bedroom, dining area, open-air bath and toilet into a single unit, so you can spend your stay without running into other guests. Accommodation is free for children under school age, while rates for elementary school children depend on the room type. Baby chairs for mealtimes and cribs for sleeping are available to borrow. There is no communal bath, and the property does not accommodate food allergies.

Rooms

There are two kinds of accommodation, the ryokan and the glamping units. Ryokan rooms 111 to 113 are 38.65 sq m and sleep up to 3 guests, with an open-air bath flowing straight from the source, an indoor bath, a cold-water bath, a tent sauna and a toilet. Rooms 201 to 203 are 32.80 sq m for up to 3 guests, with an open-air bath and an indoor bath, and rooms 211 to 220 are 13.276 sq m for up to 2 guests, with an indoor bath. In ryokan rooms 111 to 113 and 201 to 203, when three guests stay, one of them sleeps on a futon laid out on the floor, and because the building has no elevator, you take the stairs to the second-floor rooms. The glamping units come in three types: Suite Glamping at 158.9 sq m for up to 6 guests, Standard glamping at 115.69 sq m for up to 6 guests, and Onsen Ryokan Glamping (rooms 101 to 106) at 47.71 sq m for up to 2 guests. In the Suite and Standard units the beds are 4 single beds inside a dome tent with air conditioning and heating, and sleeping bags are provided when there are 5 or more guests. Onsen Ryokan Glamping has one double bed. Every unit holds its own bedroom, dining area, open-air bath flowing straight from the source, toilet, washbasin and changing space, so you can spend your stay without running into other guests. The units do differ from one another: the Suite and Onsen Ryokan Glamping have a tent sauna while the Standard does not, and the shower room is indoors in the Suite and Onsen Ryokan Glamping, while in the Standard it sits outdoors under a roof, separated from the open-air bath by a curtain.

Dining

At the glamping units, meals are served in the dedicated dining area attached to each unit, barbecue-style with ingredients from Kagoshima Prefecture. The dining area is indoors with air conditioning and heating in the Suite and Onsen Ryokan Glamping, while in the Standard it is a deck terrace with air conditioning and heating, a semi-outdoor space with a retractable roof. There are no set meal times, and the ingredients are stocked in the dining area's refrigerator in advance, so you can start whenever suits your child. The drinks stocked in the guest-room refrigerator at the glamping units are free at any time during your stay. At the ryokan you can eat either in your room or in the dining room, but drinks are free only while you are eating in the dining room. Elementary school children are served the regular meal reduced to about 70% of the usual portion. If you are staying with a child who has not yet started elementary school, booking the option "with a meal for a preschool-age child" brings a children's plate. If you stay at a glamping unit, you are free to bring in baby food and anything else your child needs, and the unit is equipped with plates, glasses and cutlery as well as a range of cooking utensils and seasonings. You cannot bring food into the ryokan's dining room, but there is an eat-in space on the ryokan's second floor that anyone can use, fitted with a microwave and cutlery, where you can eat food you have brought. The property does not accommodate food allergies.

Baths and Onsen

Every room has an open-air bath flowing straight from the source (some rooms have only an indoor bath), roomy enough for the family to bathe together and open 24 hours a day. The spring water is a sodium bicarbonate spring (hypotonic, neutral, high-temperature). Use of the communal bath and the family bath (private-hire bath) ended at the end of November 2021, and there are no shared bathing areas. Because the bath is in your own room, you can bathe without worrying about other guests. There is no published guidance on bathing with children who are not yet out of diapers, so if that is a concern, please confirm when you book.

Family-Friendly Features

Baby chairs for mealtimes and cribs for sleeping are available to borrow; numbers are limited, so you need to mention it when booking. The plan for ryokan rooms 211 to 220 sleeps 2 guests including children, and accommodation is free for both elementary school children and children under school age, but a crib cannot be set up in these rooms. As for accommodation rates, glamping is free for ages 5 and under, and elementary school children aged 6 to 11 pay 30% of one adult's accommodation rate. At the ryokan, accommodation is free for elementary school children and younger, and only elementary school children pay 2,970 yen for dinner and breakfast. Elementary school children aged 6 to 12 can use the tent sauna, but guests are asked to keep sessions short, around 5 to 10 minutes, always to go in with an adult, and to drink water before and afterward (this applies to the rooms with a sauna: ryokan rooms 111 to 113, Suite Glamping and Onsen Ryokan Glamping). A campfire is a paid option at 3,300 yen per session; the Suite and Onsen Ryokan Glamping have a space dedicated to their own unit, while the Standard glamping and the pet-friendly Suite use a shared space. The glamping units and Onsen Ryokan Glamping accept late checkout until 11 a.m. at 3,300 yen per unit, limited to 3 groups a day, which helps families who need time to get ready in the morning; the ryokan does not offer late checkout.
