The Members' Resort and the Trial-Stay Plan
This villa is a facility of the members' resort Prince Vacation Club, and it is normally available only to club members. So that non-members can stay too, a limited trial-stay plan has been prepared for stays from June 1, 2026, and it is also sold on Rakuten Travel, Jalan and Ikyu.com. It is worth checking which plan you are booking and what the stay includes when you reserve.
The Villa
The villa consists of an open, double-height living room, a twin room and a Japanese-style tatami room. There are 2 beds measuring 120 cm wide by 205 cm long by 57 cm high, plus 1 extra bed measuring 100 cm wide by 190 cm long by 59 cm high.

There are multiple bedrooms, and cleaning service is provided during consecutive-night stays. There is no washing machine or dryer. Cribs are available but limited in number, so please ask for one when you book if you need it. Nothing is published about the loan of baby futons, bed guards, diaper bins, baby baths or strollers, so these need to be confirmed in advance as well. All rooms are non-smoking, and pets are not allowed.
The Kitchen
Each villa has a dining kitchen with a refrigerator and a microwave, as well as a full set of cooking utensils and tableware. Guests may bring in their own groceries, so meals can be prepared without working around restaurant hours. That said, no supermarket is listed as being nearby and the station is not within walking distance, so it is safest to buy ingredients before you arrive. Nothing is published about baby food, formula or formula preparation, so please confirm with the property.
The Baths
On the grounds is the onsen building Breeze in Plateau, with 1 indoor bath and 1 open-air bath for each gender, open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. It is about a minute from the hotel building by monorail. The spring water is a sodium bicarbonate and chloride onsen (hypotonic and neutral), heated and diluted with water; it is not free-flowing from the source and is not cloudy. The women's bath has a mist sauna and a spacious powder room, and the men's bath has a dry sauna and a cold-water bath; there is no ganbanyoku (heated-stone sauna). The onsen building also houses an aromatherapy treatment salon. There is no private-hire bath. For families with babies and toddlers, the key point is the rules on who may use the baths. Guests wearing diapers are asked to refrain from using the baths, so children who are not yet out of diapers (not yet toilet-trained) cannot get into the baths in the onsen building and will bathe in the villa's bathroom instead. Boys aged 7 and over use the men's bath and girls aged 7 and over the women's bath. There is no indoor or outdoor pool.
Dining
Meals are served at Dining Bloom, the all-day dining restaurant on the grounds, which looks out at Mount Asama through 9-meter-high panoramic windows. Breakfast is a Japanese and Western buffet (7 a.m. to 10 a.m.), lunch is a prix-fixe menu or à la carte, and dinner is a Western course menu or the Japanese Asama Gozen set. The breakfast buffet costs 4,000 yen for adults and 2,800 yen for ages 6 to 11, and is free for children under 6, with a 13% service charge added at payment. A children's meal menu is available at dinner only; there is no children's option at the breakfast buffet. Room service is available for breakfast only (8 a.m. to 10 a.m.), with no lunch or dinner service. Takeout such as the ASAMA Burger and pizza is also available and can be eaten in the villa's dining area. Nothing is published about children's tableware or aprons, baby food or toddler meals, or a private dining room. Whether food allergies can be accommodated is not stated, so please confirm when you book.
Before You Stay with Children
Children may stay, and co-sleeping is free for children who have not yet started elementary school. Guests aged 6 and over pay the same rate as adults, children under 6 pay no room charge, and adding a bed or meals for children aged 4 and over costs extra. Cribs are limited in number and can be borrowed if you contact the property in advance. On the other hand, there is no childcare, and no playroom, indoor or outdoor play area, nursing room or pool. This is not a place that keeps children busy with facilities; the advantages for a family stay are being able to lay out futons in the tatami room, prepare meals in the kitchen, and stay in a detached house without sharing paths with other guests. Since children who are not yet out of diapers cannot use the onsen building, plan on bathing in the villa's bathroom.
