forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.52 out of 5 (808 reviews). Some guests mention touches that made the stay fun even with children, such as festival-stall games for kids and a dessert buffet. Families also seem to have found it handy that baskets were provided for carrying clothes and other items to the communal bath. On the other hand, some guests felt the rooms were small and the building showed its age, so if space or newer facilities matter to you, it is worth checking in advance.

Rooms
There are 29 rooms in all, and you can choose between Japanese-style tatami rooms and Japanese-Western rooms. The standard rooms are Japanese-style tatami rooms of 8, 10 and 12 tatami mats; the 8-tatami room has an en-suite bathroom and a toilet with a bidet function, and sleeps 1 to 3 guests. The Japanese-Western rooms cover a wide range. The Japanese-modern room with a fine view and a massage chair is 30 sq m for 1 to 4 guests, and the Japanese-Western room with a view bath is 35 sq m for 1 to 4 guests. The themed room with 10 tatami mats plus beds is 60 sq m for 2 to 8 guests, so even a larger family can stay together in one room. The beds in the Japanese-Western rooms use premium Simmons mattresses. The 12.5-tatami Japanese-style room with a massage chair and a ceramic bath (40 sq m) sleeps 2 to 6 guests, and Makomono, a 12.5-tatami Japanese-style room with a hinoki cypress bath, is 30 sq m for 2 to 6 guests. The ceramic bath and the hinoki bath are not onsen. Among the themed rooms, Hoshifuriyama is barrier-free; if you would like it, you need to call the hotel promptly after booking. You can get around the entire building by wheelchair, there is an accessible toilet in the public space of the 2nd-floor dining area, and a wheelchair is available to borrow if you reserve it by phone. Even in the barrier-free room, however, the hotel advises that a caregiver is needed. The whole building has been non-smoking since April 1, 2021, and smoking is limited to the smoking room on the 2nd floor.
Baths and Onsen
The communal bath has a lying-down bath and a jacuzzi, and is open from check-in until midnight and from 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The open-air bath is open from check-in until 10 p.m. and from 6 a.m. until checkout. There are two private-hire baths, Hinoki no Yu and Makomo no Yu, at 3,300 yen for 60 minutes. You can book one at check-in on the day, and advance reservations by phone or email are also accepted. Because the family can bathe together without worrying about other guests, these are the easier choice for families with young children. The spring water is a simple weakly radioactive spring. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may get into the tubs of the communal bath or the private-hire baths is not stated, so please check in advance. There is no sauna and no ganbanyoku (heated-stone sauna).
Dining
Breakfast and dinner are both served in the dining area; in-room dining is not available. A private room in the dining area is available on request when you book, but it may not be possible if 5 or more people are dining together or if you arrive after 6 p.m. For children, there are meals for elementary school children and a kids' meal for younger children. The kids' meal includes items such as fried shrimp, Hamburg steak, sausages, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), pilaf and french fries, and because it is built around seasonal ingredients, the menu may change. For food allergies, the kitchen does not change the menu or leave out allergenic ingredients.

Dinner can start at any time from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., and breakfast is from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. After dinner, a sweets cafe in the lobby is free to enjoy from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
