Overview
Suigetsuka is an onsen inn on the shore of Lake Suigetsu, one of the Mikata Five Lakes in Fukui Prefecture. Most guest rooms look out over the lake, though some Western-style twin room types have no window. There are four room types: themed rooms, Western-style twins, Japanese-style twins and Japanese-style tatami rooms of 10 tatami mats. The age range covered here is 0 to 12, and co-sleeping is available for up to 2 children. The communal bath has a sauna, while the open-air bath alternates between men and women and cannot be reserved for private use. Dinner is a kaiseki course built around dishes such as fugu (blowfish) and Wakasa beef, and breakfast is a Japanese set meal made with local produce.
Rooms
Suigetsuka stands on the shore of Lake Suigetsu, and the lake can be seen not only from the guest rooms but also from the communal bath and the dining venue. There are four room types: 4 themed rooms (with bath and toilet), 9 Western-style twin rooms (with bath and toilet), 6 Japanese-style twin rooms (with bath and toilet), and 15 Japanese-style tatami rooms of 10 tatami mats (with toilet). The lake-view Japanese-style tatami rooms take 1 to 5 guests, roomy enough for a larger family. Some Western-style twin rooms have two beds measuring 125 cm wide by 195 cm long and 43 cm high, and that group includes rooms with no window (the renovated Western-style twin), so if you want a lake view, check the room type when you book. Items available to borrow for the room include an air purifier (nanoe type / air type) and a humidifier, which helps when traveling with babies and toddlers in dry seasons.
Dining
Dinner is a kaiseki course served in the restaurant, with several plans featuring Wakasa fugu (blowfish), Wakasa beef and nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch). Breakfast is a Japanese set meal on the theme of local produce, with Wakasa specialties such as grilled salted mackerel, squid sashimi and dashimaki (rolled omelet). Children aged 7 to 12 are charged 70% of the adult rate and are served dishes comparable to the adult meal. Children aged 0 to 6 who use both meals (a kids' meal) and bedding are charged 50% of the adult rate; using only one of the two costs 3,300 yen, and using neither costs 2,200 yen. Meals accommodating allergies can also be arranged. In the morning there is a morning cruise around Lake Suigetsu and Lake Suga for a fee, at 1,800 yen for adults and 900 yen for elementary school children and younger, with breakfast switched to a boxed meal.
Baths and Onsen
The communal bath has a sauna, and you can soak while looking out at Lake Suigetsu spread out in front of you. The spring water is a sodium chloride strong-salt spring. The view open-air bath alternates between men and women and cannot be reserved for private use, so if you want to bathe just with your family, it is worth planning around that.
Family-Friendly Features
The age range covered here is 0 to 12, and co-sleeping is available for up to 2 children. The third floor has a free table-tennis corner, with rackets and balls available to borrow, making it an easy place for children to move around whatever the weather.
