Ikaho onsen is famous for its stone steps. The travel-friendly atmosphere and high-quality onsen are perfect for soothing your daily fatigue. Traveling to an unusual place can refresh your mind and body after being tired from housework, childcare, work, etc.
Both sides of the stone steps are lined with quoits and shooting shops, and children can have plenty of fun. After eating onsen buns that originated in Ikaho, it would be nice to ride the ropeway and see the cityscape of Ikaho. There are plenty of playgrounds nearby, such as the complex theme park "Toys and Dolls Automobile Museum" and "Ikaho Green Ranch" where you can experience horseback riding and butter making! Ikaho is a onsen area that is easy to travel with children.
However, Ikaho has a large number of inns as it is a onsen town. It takes a lot of time to find a hotel/ ryokan where you can stay comfortably with babies and children. Therefore, this time, we have selected accommodations that are friendly to traveling with children, such as welcome baby inns in Ikaho onsen, inns with baby food menus, and hotels with private baths and rooms with open-air baths. Please choose an inn according to the growth of your children, the purpose of your trip, and the number of people, and enjoy your trip with the whole family.
If you think that it would be nice to have baby food prepared at your accommodation, try choosing Hotel Matsumotoro. We have baby food, a set for young children, and meals for the first meal, so you can stay with less luggage. It is also attractive that you can enjoy both Ogon no Yu and Shirogane no Yu. There is an open-air bath with a view overlooking the city of Ikaho, a large public bath filled with pure gold oval gold coins, and a private bath where the whole family can enter without bathing, making it perfect for families who love onsen. We are ready.
There are 6 types of guest rooms, including Japanese-style rooms, Japanese-Western rooms, and Western-style rooms. Japanese-style rooms are great, but if you want a Western-style room every now and then, why not try the Matsumotoro Suite, a room with an open-air bath? The room has a barrier-free design with a bed, a Japanese-style room, and a dining room, so it's easy to move around with a stroller. The spacious design makes it convenient for three-generation travelers.
For dinner, you can choose from the "Matsumotoro Standard Kaiseki", which features local specialties such as Tsumagoi cabbage and soba noodles, or the "Matsumotoro Upgraded Kaiseki," which features Joshu beef. We use carefully selected local ingredients such as high-grade rainbow trout "Ginhikari", fresh vegetables from Gunma, and "grass-fed eggs" laid by free-range chickens. It looks so gorgeous that you can't decide what to eat first.
Baby and children's menus are also abundant! There are baby food, children's set, and first meal dishes, and you can choose the softness of porridge for baby food. There are 4 levels of rice porridge, 10 times porridge, 7 times porridge, 5 times porridge, and soft rice.

There is a Japanese-style welcome baby room, so families with children can stay with peace of mind. The welcome baby room has two rooms of 10 tatami mats and 4.5 tatami mats.

Nursing cushions, nap futons, Bumbo, bath chairs, and baby baths are also available. All of them are bulky and difficult to bring with you when you travel, so it would be nice to be able to rent them at your accommodation. Babies are immature in temperature regulation, so the temperature of the room is also a concern. The welcome baby room is equipped with air conditioners with little unevenness in air conditioning. I hope the baby and family are all comfortable.
The food is an original Japanese set meal using ingredients from Gunma. For elementary school children, dinner can be changed to children's lunch.
