The station area is well-equipped with shopping malls, restaurants, parks, and medical facilities, creating an environment where families with children can stay with peace of mind.

I have written this article around the theme of accommodations that are truly friendly to families with children, carefully selecting lodging options based on the following three perspectives.

The "Luxury Family Room" accommodating up to 5 people and "Connecting Rooms" that link two rooms together are particularly popular with families traveling with children! Bed-sharing for children 6 years old and under (elementary school students not eligible) is free, with up to one child per adult.
