forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.58 out of 5 (85 reviews). Families traveling with a baby report that the units are clean and spacious, and they were reassured by the room to crawl and the size of the beds. Reviews often mention how much children enjoyed the many activities for them, including the gift of sparklers, the campfire, the swing and a grab-what-you-can sweets game. Some guests do note that a late check-in leaves the BBQ preparations and the meal feeling rushed.

Overview
The Village Yufuin Onsen Glamping is a glamping site with onsen at the foot of Mount Yufu, where 9 dome tents and bell tents stand in a row. Each unit is laid out as a detached space with its own wooden deck, and units 0, 1, 7, 8 and 10 have their own private onsen with water flowing straight from the source, which you can use as often as you like around the clock. The BBQ dinner is eaten in a dedicated BBQ tent at each tent site, so it goes ahead even on rainy days, and there are plans that include all-you-can-drink, while all-you-can-eat ice cream is offered as well. All 9 units have children's rates set.
Rooms
The accommodation consists of 9 free-standing dome tents and bell tents, each with its own wooden deck. Bell tents 2 and 3 and the onsen dome 10 sleep 4 guests, and the other units sleep 6. Sizes vary from unit to unit: bell tents 2 and 3 and dome 10 are 20 sq m, domes 6, 7 and 8 are 28 sq m, unit 5 is 50 sq m, and units 0 and 1 are 140 sq m. Bed layouts differ by unit as well: units 0, 7 and 8 have 3 double beds; unit 1 has 2 double beds and 2 single beds; unit 6 has 2 double beds and 2 single beds; units 2 and 3 have 2 double beds; unit 5 has 6 single beds; and unit 10 has 4 single beds. Every unit has air conditioning and heating along with a humidifier, and electric blankets are provided in winter. Even in a tent, you sleep on a soft, thick mattress. All units are non-smoking, and there is a smoking area in the parking lot.
Dining
The BBQ dinner and breakfast are eaten in a dedicated BBQ tent, an outdoor space under a tarp set up beside each tent site. There is a roof overhead, so you can enjoy the BBQ even in the rain, though Yufuin gets cold from November through March and you will need clothing for the depths of winter. You can start the fire for dinner from 4:30 p.m., and pick up the breakfast set from 7:30 a.m. Guests do the cooking for both dinner and breakfast, and staff help with cutting the vegetables. A BBQ grill, skillet, tongs, dishes, cooking utensils, cutlery, a rechargeable lantern, salt and pepper, aluminum foil and other equipment are provided, so even on a room-only plan where you bring your own ingredients, there is no gear to prepare. On a plan where you bring your own ingredients, you can choose food to suit your children's tastes and allergies. On plans that include dinner, you may not bring your own ingredients for the BBQ, though drinks, sweets and snacks are allowed. Plans that include dinner come with a children's menu built around wagyu Hamburg steak in tomato sauce, combined with chicken thigh, vegetables, rice cooked in a camping mess tin, sausage and a s'mores-style sandwich. Baby food is not listed, so please check with the property. Breakfast is a hot sandwich set, Ibushiya chicken sausage, onsen egg, fresh fruit, green salad and orange juice, with hot corn soup added from November through March. All-you-can-drink alcohol and soft drinks with all-you-can-eat snacks are included in the one-night, two-meal plans and in the room-only plan billed as including all-you-can-drink and BBQ equipment, served from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. They are not included in some room-only and breakfast-included plans. Unlimited refills of ice cream at the clubhouse from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. come with every plan at no charge.
Baths and Onsen
The spring source is on the grounds, so you can enjoy natural onsen water that is 100% free-flowing straight from the source. The water is an alkaline simple onsen. Dome tents 0, 1, 7, 8 and 10 have their own private onsen with water flowing straight from the source, which you can use as often as you like around the clock, so you can pick a time that fits your child's mood. Units 2, 3, 5 and 6 do not have an in-room onsen. Whether a toilet and shower are included in the unit varies from one to another: in the Rakuten Travel room list, units 0, 1 and 10 are marked "with bath" and units 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 as "no bath or toilet," which does not match which units have an in-room onsen, so please confirm before booking. There is a communal bath inside the facility management building, with a limit on the number of people. The natural onsen at the clubhouse can also be booked for private use for one hour. Towels, bath towels and a hair dryer are provided. It is not stated whether children who are not yet out of diapers may get into the bath, so please check.

All 9 units have children's rates set. Whether co-sleeping is allowed, how the age brackets are divided, and whether cribs or baby futons are available are not stated. No age limit is stated either.

On plans that include dinner, handheld sparklers are given as a gift after dinner. Yukata and pajamas are not provided, so bring your own. A house rule asks guests to stay within their wooden deck after 10 p.m.
