The Akiu area is full of beautiful spots to visit, and staying overnight at a hot springs accommodation in the historic Akiu Onsen village will make the trip even more relaxing. One of the best family-friendly places to stay is Hotel Zuiho, an upscale modern hot springs hotel. The hotel’s numerous hot spring baths are set at different temperatures, some very mild and well-suited to children or adults sensitive to hot water. In addition to the baths, there is a swimming pool complete with a child-sized water slide. The hotel restaurant serves seasonal Japanese and Western-style cuisine, with options easy for even picky eaters to love, such as tempura, omelettes, and fresh fruit.
