Overview
Yamashiro Onsen Housyoutei is a 23-room onsen ryokan in Yamashiro Onsen, Ishikawa. It is certified as a Welcome Baby Inn by the Mikihouse Child Research Institute, and it has guest rooms themed on dinosaurs and fairy tales as well as the Angel special baby rooms, which come with STOKKE cribs. The communal bath has tatami flooring and keeps baby soap on hand. Baby food is made by hand to match the child's age in months, from the early through the finishing stage, and the first-floor lobby has a kids' space lined with 1,000 picture books. Baby items such as baby baths and buggies are also available to borrow.
Rooms
There are 23 rooms in all, in six types with different themes. The standard Sukiya-Style Room is 68.70 sq m with a bath and toilet, for 1 to 6 guests. The dinosaur room T-REX is themed around dinosaurs, measures 68.90 sq m, has three semi-single beds and a bunk bed, and sleeps 7. Fairy Tale, a room set inside a storybook, is a 16-tatami Japanese-style tatami room of 68.70 sq m for 6 guests, with building blocks, puzzles, a vanity table with a lighted mirror and a kids' house. Angel, made for babies and mothers, comes in three rooms in green, brown and blue, each 68.90 sq m for 4 guests, stocked with baby items including a STOKKE crib and a baby bath, and with breakable objects such as the room's vases taken away. Kurara, the top-floor room with an open-air bath, is 51.00 sq m for 5 guests, though the water in its open-air bath is not onsen water: it circulates Hyakunen Tennensui, the same natural water used for drinking. The nostalgic Japanese-style bedroom Taisho Roman is 45.00 sq m, laid out with two single beds pushed together. The ryokan lists its capacity as 3 guests, but some plans on booking sites state that children cannot stay in this room, so check before choosing it for a family stay. The number of children who may co-sleep varies by plan and room; on the breakfast-included plan for the Sukiya-Style Rooms, where children can stay, up to 5 children may co-sleep. Children's rates are as follows: babies aged 0 to 11 months stay free with no meals and no futon bedding (only when you book directly with the ryokan); young children from age 1 up to preschool entry are 4,400 yen with no meals and no futon bedding, or 6,600 yen with futon bedding; with one night and two meals they are 8,800 yen without futon bedding and 11,000 yen with it. Elementary school children are 16,500 yen with one night, two meals and futon bedding, and junior high school students and above pay the adult rate. Golden Week, the Obon period and the New Year holidays follow a separate rate table. Booked through an online travel agency, even children under 1 are charged a 4,400 yen facility usage fee. Capacity is up to 2 guests in the 8-tatami room type, 6 in the 12.5-tatami type and 10 in the 17.5-tatami type.
Dining
Meals are served in a semi-private room or in the banquet dining hall, in private spaces set off by partitions. Children under school age are served a kids' meal, and elementary school children are served that kids' meal with sashimi and a meat dish added. Baby food is made by hand to match the child's age in months, from the early, mid and late stages through to the finishing stage, as an option costing 2,000 yen including tax for dinner and breakfast together. The kitchen will also warm baby food you bring yourself, and tableware and baby-bottle sterilizing supplies are available to borrow. Meals for allergies are arranged after consultation, limited to mild allergies, and some plans cannot be accommodated. Baby chairs and Bumbo chairs are provided both for your time in the room and at the dinner table.
