forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.41 out of 5 (1,376 reviews). Families praise the breakfast buffet, whose menu takes young children into account, and they also appreciate the location right beside Yahiko Shrine, which makes shrine visits and strolls easy. On the other hand, some guests report that the toilet is cramped and the water pressure weak in certain rooms, so comfort in the bathroom areas appears to vary by room type.
