About the Room Rates

How much is the room?
Room rates are based on the following factors: Seasons, days of the week, room types, meal types, and number of people. For details, please refer to Room Rates.
How much do you charge for children?
We charge 70% of adult rates for schoolchildren. Children's dinners are similar to adult dinners. For pre-school children (3-6 years old), we charge 50%. The dinner is a children's meal. For a pre-school child who doesn't need a bed or meal, we charge 3,300 yen(including tax). However, for a schoolchild who doesn't need a bed and meal, we charge 70%. For children under 2 years old we don't charge, but beds and yukatas are not provided.
Our 4-year-old son doesn't eat much, but we want a yukata and bed for him. How much do you charge?
3,300 yen(including tax). If you need them later, a bed is 1,100 yen(including tax) and a yukata is 220 yen(including tax).
Room rates are different depending on the number of people. Do we include children when calculating the number?
Yes. A schoolchild is counted as one guest. A pre-school child is counted as half a guest. For example, if you are a group of two adults, a schoolchild and a 4-year-old child, the rates for 3 people will apply. If you are a group of two adults, a schoolchild and two 4-year-old children, the rates for 4 people will apply. Pre-school children who don't need food and a bed are not counted when calculating the number of people.
