We've
visited
my
wife's
grandma
in
Atsumi
Onsen
six
times
over
the
past
ten
years
and
stayed
at
Tachibanaya
twice
since
having
had
children.
It's
truly
an
amazing
place
to
visit.
The
hosts
are
very
friendly,
the
hotel
is
in
immaculate
condition
and
has
lovely
views
overlooking
the
amazing
gardens
and
pond
on
the
grounds.
The
main
reason
we
chose
Tachibanaya
is
the
child-friendly
amenities
such
as
a
cot
whilst
you
eat
in
the
dining
hall,
or
when
bathing
in
the
onsen.
Moreover,
small
details
like
a
nappy
pail,
baby
toilet
seats,
etc
all
make
it
a
very
enjoyable
stay.
Naturally,
the
food
is,
like
most
Ryokan,
simply
amazing.
Whilst
we
thought
the
dinner
was
lovely,
it
was
the
breakfast
which
was
truly
impressive.
It
featured
local
produce
from
the
sea
and
farm.
We
chose
to
stay
in
one
of
the
detached
cottages
over-looking
the
pond
with
a
separate
room
for
our
eldest
to
sleep
whilst
we
relaxed
in
the
main
room.
The
staff
were
happy
to
provide
a
child-sized
futon.
Whilst
you
may
struggle
to
stay
here
if
you
don't
speak
Japanese,
it
is
totally
worth
the
effort.
The
drive
from
Niigata
is
easy
and
has
a
number
of
good
michnoeki
along
the
way
and
atsumi
onsen,
despite
being
very
sleepy,
with
its
little
river
is
a
lovely
sight.
