Overview
Nemunohana is an inn of 10 detached villas standing along the Ihae Valley in Nichinan, Miyazaki. Every villa is rented on its own and comes with an open-air bath, so each family has natural onsen water to itself. Children can stay when the booking includes 2 or more adults, and up to 2 children may co-sleep. Meals are served in private rooms at the restaurant, and some of these rooms have partitions that open out for families. Conditions and rates for elementary school children differ by plan, so please confirm when booking.
Rooms
All 10 villas along the Ihae Valley are detached and rented on their own, each with its own open-air bath. There are 4 room types. The 2-bedroom type with bath and toilet - rooms such as Hi, Sora, Hana, Yuki and Yume, at about 200 sq m in total with 70.3 sq m of room space - sleeps 1 to 4 guests, has set children's rates, and is laid out for families. Yume in particular, with a hammock on its terrace, is a favorite with families. The twin-bed type such as Chi, by contrast, is presented as a "terrace for lovers" and sleeps 1 to 2 guests, so it is aimed at couples. Canned beer and soft drinks in the guest-room refrigerator are free of charge.
Dining
Dinner and breakfast are both served in a private room at BASARA, the restaurant beside the mountain stream. There are 10 private rooms in Japanese and Western styles, and some have partitions that can be opened out with families in mind. You may arrive at any time within the set meal periods, and if anyone has an allergy, tell the staff the ingredient and they will cook with something else instead. Do note that in-room dining is not available. The limited-period spiny lobster plan also includes a kids' meal for children from age 4 through the third grade of elementary school, though what is served and whether it is offered at all depends on the plan.
Baths and Onsen
There is no communal bath; instead, every villa has its own private open-air bath. Only the open-air baths use natural onsen water, while the indoor baths are filled with heated water. The spring temperature is 35.0 degrees Celsius, and the water is warmed. Bathing as a family without worrying about other guests is something that sets this inn apart.
Family-Friendly Features
Children can stay only when the booking includes 2 or more adults, and up to 2 children may co-sleep. If the party is 1 adult and 1 child, the child is charged the adult rate. Conditions and rates for elementary school children vary from plan to plan: one plan takes them at 70% or 50% of the adult rate, while another may not accept elementary school children at all, so please check before booking. In summer there is also a treat for children: a rhinoceros beetle or a stag beetle, together with an insect cage.

The inn is about 30 minutes by car from Miyazaki Airport, and parking for 15 cars is free of charge. A free shuttle from Kitago Station on the JR Nichinan Line is available by reservation, which makes the inn easy to reach for families traveling without a car.
