Elementary school-age children pay JPY 2,000, while children under school age may eat free of charge. Japanese restaurant Zuientei has the private Miyabi dining room with sunken-floor (horigotatsu) seating (4–12 guests; use from 4 guests; separate private-room fee of JPY 10,000), as well as the Roumei private dining room with tables and chairs (10–30 guests; separate private-room fee of JPY 20,000) and the Suimei private dining room (5–8 guests; separate private-room fee of JPY 15,000; both Roumei and Suimei require at least 5 guests).

Baths and Onsen
The Trinite natural onsen spa on the top floor uses natural hot spring water that rises from underground, and staying guests may use it free of charge. Facilities include an open-air bath, a main bath, a jacuzzi and a cold-water bath, along with a men's dry sauna and a women's mist sauna. Hours are from 12:00 to 23:00, with last admission at 22:30, and from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning, with last admission at 8:30. Children under 3 and children who are not yet out of diapers cannot enter, so the onsen cannot be used with young children.
Family-Friendly Features
Preschoolers may co-sleep free of charge, with up to one child per bed, and up to 3 cribs are available (advance reservation required; JPY 1,200 per crib). However, children under 3 and children who are not yet out of diapers cannot use the top-floor natural onsen spa, so bathing in the onsen with babies or toddlers is not possible. No childcare service is available, so leaving children in care while going out during the day may be difficult. Some plans also offer the option to extend the usual 11:00 checkout until 12:00.
