forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.9 out of 5 (1,056 reviews). One family staying with a child with a severe intellectual disability reports that the careful advance explanation about the rooms and the absence of an elevator put them at ease, and another review says the pork shabu-shabu hot pot at dinner was a hit with the family. Guests frequently praise the breakfast as generous and delicious. On the other hand, some guests report that footsteps from other guests carry easily, and that they found the futon mattress thin.
