Rakuten STAY VILLA Kinugawa Riverside

We checked in after doing some shopping at a nearby AEON. The Accommodation had everything we needed for cooking, including a pot and even a small hot plate, so it was easy to prepare meals (though you’ll need to bring your own seasonings). Complimentary drinks were also stocked in the refrigerator. Since it was our child’s birthday, we projected a birthday video with the projector and celebrated—it was a huge hit. The third-floor bath was spacious, and the Onsen water made it incredibly relaxing. The first-floor sauna was low-temperature, so my husband found it a bit mild, but I enjoyed taking my time and felt very satisfied. There was also a table on the balcony where we could relax, so we had breakfast there. Overall, everything was very clean, and having a washing machine was really helpful—everything about our stay was great. It’s an Accommodation we’d love to visit again.

We stayed with our 4-year-old and 1-year-old.We came by train, and it was an easy walk from World Square Station.One thing to note: there are no loungewear/pajamas, hair combs or brushes, or skincare amenities provided, so you’ll need to bring your own.We brought laundry detergent just in case, but there was Attack ZERO on top of the front-loading washing machine.There were plenty of complimentary drinks, and there was also a water dispenser in front of the sauna, so we didn’t need to buy anything extra—very helpful!Also, none of the Rooms have doors; they’re open up to the ceiling for a spacious feel. Because of that, it may be dangerous for crawling babies or small children who aren’t used to stairs.There was one baby gate available for the stairs.For meals, I thought it would be nice if there were smaller portions for children.The Room was clean, and the slide and net play equipment were so much fun that our kids played nonstop from check-in to check-out!It was our first time staying at such a fun Accommodation, and we definitely want to come again!You’ll absolutely get to see lots of your kids’ smiles!! lol
