forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.42 out of 5 (888 reviews). Guests report that there is no partition between the indoor bath and the changing room, which gives an open feeling and lets you keep an eye on everyone when traveling with children or older family members. Families also report enjoying their stay thanks to the all-inclusive plan, with its generous after-dinner desserts and afternoon tea. On the other hand, some guests note that the Japanese-style tatami rooms have no chairs, which can be a little inconvenient for older guests and families with small children.

Overview
TAOYA Kisoji is an onsen resort in Kiso, Nagano, where you can enjoy Nagiso's toner-like water along with an all-inclusive stay. Guest rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms of 12 tatami mats, 12.5 tatami mats, or 10 plus 6 tatami mats, and there are bed-style rooms too, including Japanese-Western twins and Japanese-style bed twins. Some rooms sleep 5 or 6 guests, giving families plenty of space. The restaurant has children's tableware and chairs as well as baby food, and the changing room at the communal bath is equipped with a baby bed, a baby bath, a baby chair and a diaper bin. There are 2 hinoki-wood private-hire baths where you can bathe just with your family.
Rooms
There are 90 rooms in all, built mainly around Japanese-style tatami rooms. In the room list on Rakuten Travel, the Standard Japanese-style 12-tatami room (with shower and toilet, shower only) and the Economy Japanese-style 12-tatami room (the same) sleep 1 to 4 guests, the Standard Japanese-style 12.5-tatami room (with bath and toilet) sleeps 1 to 5 guests, and the Superior Japanese-style room of 10 plus 6 tatami mats (with bath and toilet) sleeps 1 to 6 guests. A tatami room makes it easy to put a small child down to sleep and works well for larger families. Among the Western-style options, the Superior Japanese-style Bed Twin is 30 sq m for 1 to 2 guests; among the Japanese-Western rooms, the Superior Japanese-Western Twin with 8 tatami mats is 32 sq m for 1 to 5 guests, and the Suite Japanese-Western Twin with 10 tatami mats is 36 sq m for 1 to 6 guests. There are also Standard Japanese-style 10-tatami rooms, Standard Japanese-style 12.5-tatami rooms with a broad window-side space, Standard Twins, and Standard Twins for 3 guests. Rooms come with a hair dryer, a safe, a refrigerator, a TV, an electric hot-water kettle, an air purifier with a humidifying function, and a deodorizer, which helps in drier seasons. Note that bath towels and face towels are provided only for the number of guests using bedding, so none are provided for children who are co-sleeping.
Dining
Dinner and breakfast are both buffets in the restaurant on the first floor of the main building. Dinner is served from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.; dinner is limited to 90 minutes and breakfast to 60 minutes. A live kitchen serves roast beef and other dishes, and the spread includes regional specialties such as Shinshu sanzokuyaki (seasoned fried chicken) and shabu-shabu made with Shinshu pork. The restaurant also has children's tableware and chairs. Baby food is available as well; just let a staff member know if you would like some. Information on accommodating food allergies is provided, so please confirm the details in advance. In-room dining is not available. The stay is all-inclusive, covering nearly all charges for on-site services such as alcohol at dinner, drinks in the lounge, afternoon tea and late-night snacks, so families can relax without worrying about extra bills.
Baths and Onsen
The spring water is an alkaline simple onsen (hypotonic, alkaline, hot spring), heated and recirculated through a filtration system. There are 2 communal baths, Engaku no Yu and Manten no Yu, both open from 3 p.m. to midnight and from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., and they alternate between men and women. Children aged 7 and over or 120 cm and taller must use the communal bath for their own gender. A baby bed is set out free of charge in the changing room at the communal bath, the bathing area is equipped with a baby bath, a baby chair and a diaper bin, and the amenities include diaper bags, so bathing with a baby is easy to manage. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may enter the bathtubs is not stated, so please confirm in advance. The 2 hinoki-wood private-hire baths are Oka no Yu and Ranman no Yu, available from 3 p.m. to midnight at 5,500 yen per hour for up to 8 people. Advance reservations are not accepted; you book at the front desk on the day of use, with reception open until 11 p.m. that day. They are an option when you want to bathe just with your family, without worrying about other guests. Guests with tattoos may use the communal bath only if the tattoos can be completely covered with the cover seals designated by the ryokan, which are sold for a fee.
