Rooms with their own open-air bath (onsen) are on the 3rd and 2nd floors, so you can soak in an open-air bath without leaving your room.

Family-Friendly Features
Children's rates apply when 2 or more adults are booked; for 1 adult with 1 child, the child is charged the same rate as the adult.

Children aged 2 and under stay free of charge. The upper age limit for co-sleeping and the number of people per bed are not stated, and neither is whether cribs are available to borrow, so please confirm when booking.
