Yamanaka Onsen Ohanami Kyubei
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.28 out of 5 (3,387 reviews). Many guests come with children, and families praise the range of hands-on experiences kids can enjoy, such as grilling their own dango (rice dumplings) and senbei (rice crackers) and the matcha experience. The three private-hire onsen baths, all free to use, are another welcome point for families. On the other hand, some guests note that the elevator is an older model with no motion sensor and doors that close without pausing, so care is needed with young children.

Three private-hire open-air baths, all free to use
The three private-hire open-air baths, Gekka, Suika and Fuka, can be used free of charge, so the family can bathe together looking out over the mountain stream. The spring water is a calcium-sodium sulfate spring (hypotonic, weakly alkaline), gentle enough for guests with sensitive skin and for young children. A communal bath and an open-air bath are available as well.
