Takachiho Hanare no Yado Kamigakure
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.89 out of 5 (225 reviews). Families who stayed with elementary school children praise the staff's attentive care, such as handing them a note with a map to a nearby supermarket when they asked about eggs and soy sauce. Guests are also glad that the rooms have an open-air bath, letting them spend unhurried time in the room. On the other hand, some note that the route from the front building to the rooms goes outdoors, which makes moving around with children a little difficult on rainy days.
