Frequently Asked Questions
What are the rates for children?
expand_more
Junior high school students and older pay the adult rate, elementary school children receive 50% off the adult rate, and children who have not yet started elementary school stay free. No futon bedding is prepared for them, so they are treated as co-sleeping.
Can young children join the canoe tour?
expand_more
The hotel states that children as young as 5 can join the Pinaisara Falls tour and that preschool-age children paddle away as well. Tours are tailored to families, couples and solo travelers, and a hot-water shower room is available. Please check the official website or Rakuten Travel for the latest tour age requirements and prices before booking.
Are children's pajamas or room wear provided?
expand_more
Unisex one-piece room wear is provided, but children's sizes are not.
Can we have a barbecue?
expand_more
Barbecues are currently suspended. Iriomote Island is a place of great natural abundance, and so many flies and insects gather that the hotel judged it beyond what visitors would find acceptable.
Can we stay during a typhoon?
expand_more
During a typhoon the property closes for safety, and guests are asked to cross over to Ishigaki Island. It reopens after the typhoon has passed, once utilities have been restored and safety has been confirmed.
