forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.06 out of 5 (476 reviews). In reviews from families with children, guests praise being able to have dinner served in their room, so they could enjoy the meal without worrying about other guests. One guest also reports that when their child ran a fever at night and they asked the front desk for help, staff brought ice in a bag. On the other hand, some point out that a love hotel is visible directly across from the ryokan, so families with children may want to be aware of this.
