forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.34 out of 5 (1,179 reviews). Some guests report that they were able to enjoy the ryokan with peace of mind even while traveling with a 2-year-old, and others say they had no trouble staying with three young children. Several also report being able to use a private-hire bath free of charge and spending relaxed time together as a family. On the other hand, some point out that there is no elevator and that the stairs are steep, so families with young children need to take care getting around.

Overview
Ureshino Onsen Ryokan Yoshidaya is a modern Japanese-style onsen ryokan standing along the Ureshino River. Guests can enjoy Ureshino Onsen, counted as one of Japan's three great beautiful-skin hot springs, in a wide range of baths, including the communal baths, open-air baths and private-hire baths. Children can stay, a facility fee applies from infancy, and elementary school children are served their own menu. Note, however, that the detached annex is limited to guests of junior high school age and up, and the building has no elevator, so stairs are unavoidable - it pays to choose your room type carefully.
Rooms
The ryokan has 21 Japanese-Western rooms, and many of them come with an onsen bath fed directly from the source. The Premium Japanese-Western Room with Onsen, Aoi, is featured in the Michelin Guide Fukuoka & Saga; it measures 85 sq m, accommodates 1 to 6 guests, and has a children's rate. For stays of 3 or more guests, many rooms have futon bedding laid out in advance, so they can also accommodate family stays. There are compact room types as well, such as the 20 sq m Japanese-Western Standard Twin with two single beds. The two-story detached annex, the High-Grade Japanese-Western Room with Onsen, Orikara (70 sq m, 1 to 4 guests), accepts children only from junior high school age and up, so families with young children cannot use it. There is no elevator in the building, and the main building's rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors, so stairs are unavoidable. Getting around with a stroller is difficult, so it is best to plan on carrying children up and down.
Dining
Dinner is a kaiseki course (a multi-course Japanese meal) built around Saga-raised wagyu beef, local fish and local vegetables, served at table seating in the non-smoking dining area. You may request a semi-private room when booking, but requests are filled on a first-come basis and cannot be guaranteed. Breakfast is a Japanese-style meal featuring onsen yudofu (tofu simmered in hot spring water), local fish and local eggs. Elementary school children are served a kids' meal; if you would like to change this to the same kaiseki course as the adults or to the children's mini-kaiseki course, please contact the ryokan in advance. From age 0, a facility fee of 2,000 yen before tax applies. Individual changes to dishes, including for allergies, cannot be accommodated, and the approach is for those seated together to share portions; guests who book directly with the ryokan, however, may be able to discuss what can be done within reason.
Baths and Onsen
Ureshino Onsen, counted as one of Japan's three great beautiful-skin hot springs, can be enjoyed in a wide range of baths: the communal baths Kumano-yu and Toyotama-yu, open-air baths, private-hire baths, a sauna and ganbanyoku (a heated-stone sauna). Staying guests can use a private-hire bath (family bath) for 4,000 yen before tax per room with a reservation, an option worth choosing when you want to bathe with your children without worrying about other guests. Some plans booked online include one 40-minute private-hire bath session as a perk. There are also 12 types of rooms with an onsen bath, so a family can have bathing time entirely to themselves in their room.
Family-Friendly Features
Children can stay, a facility fee applies from age 0, and elementary school children have their own menu, so the ryokan's guidance is written with family stays in mind. At the same time, the detached annex Orikara is limited to guests of junior high school age and up, and with no elevator in the building, stairs are unavoidable, so the room type needs to be chosen with care. If you reserve a private-hire bath, you can enjoy the onsen as a family with babies and young children.
Access
The address is 379 Ko, Ureshinomachi Iwayagauchi, Ureshino, Saga. The ryokan is about 70 minutes from Hakata Station, about 40 minutes by car from Nagasaki Airport, and about 40 minutes by car from Huis Ten Bosch. Parking is free for staying guests, but it is not adjacent to the building, so you need to move your car yourself. A free shuttle runs to and from Ureshino Onsen Station (a Shinkansen station), the Ureshino Onsen Bus Center and the Ureshino Interchange, by advance reservation made by 10 p.m. on the day before your stay.
