Overview

TAOYA Nachikatsuura is an all-inclusive onsen hotel facing the sea in Nachikatsuura, home to Katsuura Fishing Port, which lands the largest catch of fresh tuna in Japan. The room rate covers nearly all in-house services, such as drinks in the lounge and afternoon tea, and meals are buffets with plenty of seafood. Rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and Japanese-style twin-bed rooms, and some types come with an open-air bath or an indoor bath. The restaurant has baby food and children's tableware and chairs. The communal bath has baby baths and baby chairs, a baby bed is provided in the changing rooms of both the men's and women's baths, and there is a kids' corner in the hotel.

Rooms

Room types are mainly Japanese in style, such as Japanese-style tatami rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and Japanese-style twin-bed rooms, and many are roomy enough for families. The Standard Japanese-style tatami room for 3 guests is 28.1 sq m with a toilet. The Standard Japanese-style tatami room for 3 guests with an indoor bath is 33.9 sq m with a bath and toilet, and the two-room Japanese-style tatami room with an indoor bath is 63.3 sq m with a bath and toilet, sleeping 1 to 4 guests. The 12-tatami room without an indoor bath, in the wooden building, is 46.7 sq m and sleeps 1 to 5 guests. Larger families can choose from big rooms with an indoor bath: the Superior two-room Japanese-style twin-bed room (113.5 sq m), the Superior Japanese-Western twin room (71.9 sq m) and the Standard two-room Japanese-style twin-bed room (66.5 sq m), each sleeping up to 5 guests. The Standard Japanese-style tatami room with an open-air bath comes in two versions, with and without an indoor bath, and the in-room open-air bath is onsen water too. These rooms sleep 1 to 3 guests, so families with babies who would find the communal bath hard to manage can still soak in their own room. One point to note: the hotel clearly states that children cannot stay in two room types, the Standard two-room Japanese-style tatami room without an indoor bath in the wooden building (43.2 sq m) and the Superior two-room Japanese-style tatami room without an indoor bath in the wooden building (66.3 sq m). Some rooms are also of wooden construction, and guests are asked to accept that sound may carry.

Dining

Dinner and breakfast are both buffets at the restaurant NAGI, and in-room dining is not available. Dinner is served from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with a 90-minute limit, and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. with a 60-minute limit. The seafood dishes reflect the home of Katsuura Fishing Port, which lands the largest catch of fresh tuna in Japan, and at the live kitchen in the center of the room, Hamburg steak made with Kumano beef is grilled on an iron plate. The restaurant has children's tableware and chairs, and staff will bring baby food if you ask. On food allergies, the Ooedo Onsen Monogatari group's guidance clearly states that individually tailored meals are not prepared and that, because meals are served buffet-style, individual ingredient labeling is not provided either. Guests may, however, bring in food and tableware they know are safe. Anniversary cakes are available for a fee.

Baths and Onsen

The spring water is a sulfur-bearing sodium-calcium chloride spring and an alkaline simple sulfur spring, and there are several baths, including a semi-open-air bath and a garden open-air bath where the sea feels close at hand. The communal bath and open-air bath are open from 3 p.m. to midnight and from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. Children aged 7 and over or 120 cm and taller use the bath for their own gender. The communal bath has children's items such as baby baths, baby chairs and children's chairs, so you can bathe together with your child. A baby bed is provided free of charge in the changing rooms of both the women's and the men's communal baths, and the bath facilities include a diaper bin. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may go in the tubs is not listed in our information, so please check with the hotel if this matters to you. Guests with tattoos may use the communal bath only if the tattoos can be completely covered with the hotel's designated cover seals, which are available for a fee.

Family-Friendly Features

The hotel has a kids' corner where young children can spend time. Children aged 2 and under are not counted in the number of guests when you book; instead, you let the hotel know how many children are coming and whether they need bedding through the inquiry form. For children under 3, an extra futon can be provided for an additional 2,200 yen with advance notice, but not if it would exceed the capacity of the room you have booked. Preschool-age children aged 3 and over are charged, and you choose a booking with meals and futon bedding. Children's yukata are available too. Because the stay is all-inclusive, alcoholic drinks at dinner, lounge drinks and afternoon tea are nearly all covered by the room rate, so families can enjoy the hotel without watching the bill.
