forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.82 out of 5 (1,301 reviews). One family reports that their child happily tucked into the sweet shrimp and the shrimp-broth ramen at the dinner buffet, and guests praise the on-site facilities, including table tennis, the game arcade and the manga corner, as things the whole family can enjoy. Some guests, however, felt there could have been a little more for children, such as furikake rice seasoning and fruit like bananas.

Some extra-order dishes, such as genuine snow crab, are served only to guests of elementary school age and older.
Baths and Onsen
The spring water is an alkaline, hypotonic cold mineral spring that qualifies as an onsen under the Hot Spring Act on the basis of its metasilicic acid content. Because it is not classified as a therapeutic spring, it has no designated spring-quality name. There are two types of open-air bath, a rock bath and a duckboard (sunoko) bath, and the communal bath and open-air baths can be used from 3 p.m. to midnight and from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. Bathing items for young children are provided in the communal bath, so parents can bathe with peace of mind alongside a small child, and children's yukata and slippers are available as well. Children aged 7 and over, or 120 cm and taller, use the bath matching their own gender.
