The Kids Park is divided into an area where small children can play with peace of mind and a Wanpaku area of large climbing play structures, so children can move around even on rainy days. The guest rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms, and the kids' rooms, which come in a Japanese-style and a Western-style type, have bunk beds and toys to play with in the room. Breakfast and dinner are both buffets in the restaurant, where children's tableware and chairs and baby food are available. The changing room of the communal bath has a baby bed, and the bathing area has baby baths and baby chairs. At the Premium Lounge overlooking the Japanese garden, drinks are free at any time during your stay. Individually prepared meals for food allergies are not available.

The restaurant has children's tableware and chairs as well as baby food; if you would like baby food, just ask a member of staff. As for food allergies, the Ooedo Onsen Monogatari group does not prepare individual allergy-friendly meals, and because the meals are buffet-style, ingredients are not labeled dish by dish either. If your child has an allergy, you are allowed to bring in food and tableware that are safe for them. There is no microwave in the hotel, so if you need something warmed, ask at the front desk. An anniversary cake for a fee and a separately ordered 90-minute all-you-can-drink alcohol option are also available.
Baths and Onsen
There is a Matsushima Onsen communal bath, an open-air bath and a sauna. The spring water is a sodium chloride, sulfate and bicarbonate spring (hypotonic, mildly alkaline, high-temperature), with water added, heated and recirculated through a filtration system. The communal bath and open-air bath are open from 3 p.m. to midnight and again from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., and the sauna from 3 p.m. to midnight and from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.; hours may change for cleaning, and the open-air bath may be closed depending on the weather. Children aged 7 and over, or 120 cm and taller, use the bathhouse matching their own gender. There is no private-hire bath, the men's and women's baths do not swap over, and the water in the guest-room bathtubs is not onsen water. No towels or bath towels are provided at the baths, so bring the ones supplied in your room. Handrails are installed, but take care on the steps. The changing room has free lockers with keys. Guests with tattoos may use the communal bath only if the tattoos can be completely covered with the cover seals designated by the hotel, which are sold for a fee. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may get into the bathtubs is not stated, so it is worth confirming with the hotel in advance.
