Even if you want to go on a trip to refresh yourself, I think there are many people who are worried that they will have to pay attention to their surroundings when they have children, and that they may feel unnecessarily tired. In Aso, there are many lodgings that are perfect for traveling with children, where mothers with such anxiety can stay with peace of mind! We will introduce inns that are recommended for traveling with children, such as inns with popular activities for children, inns with buffets, and inns with family baths.
This inn is located in the southwest of Kurokawa onsen deep in the mountains. It's recommended for families traveling with children, as it has baby-friendly guest rooms and plenty of rental goods for children! It has a special structure, with the building divided into two parts across the river, connected by a "meeting bridge". Some rooms have a mini-kitchen, and there is also a microwave, so you can warm up baby food and wash baby bottles. This is helpful for moms and dads with small children.
We recommend a Japanese-style room with a mini-kitchen. There are no guest rooms on the lower floor, so even if the kids make a little noise, they won't cause any trouble to those around them! In addition to bath chairs, auxiliary toilet seats, and baby bottle cleaning sets, there are eight other items available for free rental. I'm glad you can spend your time comfortably and have less luggage.
Dinner served at the meal of a private room is a variety of delicate dishes that make the most of seasonal flavors. It is a multi-course dinner where you can enjoy local ingredients procured from contract farmers. In addition, there is this dinner for elementary school students and toddlers, and the children are delighted! In addition, if you contact them in advance, they will also prepare porridge for your baby.
This "Senninburo" is a spacious open-air bath. It's nice to be able to stretch my legs and take a bath. Also, if you are bringing a baby, we recommend a private family bath! In particular, the ``Parent and Child Hinoki Bath'' has two bathtubs, one large and one small, so it is safe even if you have small children with you. There are no reservations or time limits for the family private bath, so you can use it anytime.
