Overview
The Shiroyama Terrace Tsuyama Bettei is a 65-room hotel in the center of Tsuyama, with a communal bath at the view onsen Dodo Onsen looking out over the ruins of Tsuyama Castle. Children who have not yet started elementary school stay free when co-sleeping, and the breakfast buffet is free for them as well, in both cases up to the number of accompanying adults. Children's items such as a bouncer and a baby bath are available to borrow. At dinner, families can choose a kids' kaiseki or a kids' meal, and a baby lunch can be added. A free shuttle runs from JR Tsuyama Station, and the hotel is about 10 minutes by car from the Tsuyama IC.
Rooms
The hotel has 65 rooms in 11 types, so you can choose one to suit your group. On the Regular floor there are the Moderate Double (19 sq m, for 1-2 guests) and the Moderate Twin (25 sq m, for 1-2 guests), and there are also 10-mat Japanese-style tatami rooms (36 sq m, for 1-4 guests). For groups of 3 or more, many rooms combine a hide-a-bed (sofa bed), an extra bed and Japanese futon bedding. Some of the Moderate Twin rooms with a terrace can also be used as connecting rooms, with the terrace linking the two.
Dining
Dinner is a kaiseki course (a multi-course Japanese meal) at Chef's Dining Sakura on the 7th floor. Elementary school children are served a kids' kaiseki and preschool-age children a kids' meal, and a baby lunch (1,980 yen) can be added from the extra menu. There are also private rooms and Japanese-style tatami seating, used for occasions such as business meetings and betrothal ceremonies, where you can eat without worrying about other guests. Breakfast is a Japanese-Western buffet at the local-produce dining restaurant Mimasaka Kitchen on the 1st floor, and it is free for children who have not yet started elementary school, up to the number of accompanying adults. Food allergies are accommodated as far as possible if you tell the hotel the ingredients in advance; requests cannot be handled on the day itself.
Baths and onsen
On the 8th floor, Tsuyama Onsen Shiromi SPA lets you bathe while looking out at the ruins of Tsuyama Castle, in tubs brimming with Dodo Onsen water, long loved as a spring that is good for the skin. Along with an indoor bath, sauna and cold bath, there are jet baths and a reclining-bath area. A room card key is required to enter. Guest rooms on the special Yuro floor have a terrace with an open-air bath fed by this same Dodo Onsen water, and on the dog-friendly floor, 5 of the 23 rooms also have an open-air bath. If you would like to soak as a family without worrying about other guests, choosing one of these rooms is one way to do it.
Family-friendly features
When children under school age stay by co-sleeping, no accommodation charge applies for them, up to the number of adults.
