forumWhat families say
Guests praise the quality of the spring water, a smooth, silky onsen that feels like facial toner, and say the open-air bath surrounded by nature feels luxurious. The attentive service, the quiet location and the well-portioned, delicious meals are also highly rated. On the other hand, some guests note that the secluded, hideaway atmosphere is not to everyone's taste.

Overview
Nemunohana is an inn of 10 detached villas set along the Ihae Valley in Nichinan, Miyazaki. Every room is a villa rented on its own with an open-air bath, so each room has natural onsen water to itself. Children are accepted when the booking includes 2 or more adults, and up to 2 children can co-sleep. Meals are served in private rooms at the restaurant, and some of those rooms have partitions that can be opened out, with families in mind. Conditions and rates for elementary school children vary by plan, so please confirm them when booking.
Rooms
All 10 villas along the Ihae Valley are detached and rented on their own, and each has its own open-air bath. There are 4 room types. The 2-bedroom type with bath and toilet, which includes rooms such as Hi, Sora, Hana, Yuki and Yume, measures about 200 sq m (70.3 sq m), sleeps 1 to 4 guests and has set children's rates, making it the family-oriented option. Yume in particular, with a hammock on its terrace, is popular 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 can arrive whenever you like within the set meal periods, and if anyone has an allergy, tell the staff the ingredient and they will use something else instead. Please note that in-room dining is not available. The limited-period spiny lobster plan also offers 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, varies by plan.
Baths and Onsen
There is no communal bath; instead, every room 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°C, and the water is heated. Being able to bathe as a family, without worrying about other guests, is one of the things that sets this inn apart.
Family-Friendly Features
Children can stay only when the booking includes 2 or more adults, and up to 2 co-sleeping children are accepted. For 1 adult with 1 child, the child is also charged the adult rate. Conditions and rates for elementary school children differ between plans: one plan accepts 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 gift for children: a rhinoceros beetle or a stag beetle, together with an insect cage.
