Canal Resort (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Canal Resort?
What makes it 70% Kids-Friendly: Kids 4-12 get cheap entry and may share parent bath or reserve the single private family tub, yet no play area, high water temperature and no lifeguards require close supervision, lowering suitability.
Positives:
- Family Bath Privacy: The private room lets parents and kids bathe together safely.
- Free Shuttle Service: Complimentary buses run from Kanayama and Fushimi Stations.
Challenges:
- Gender-Specific Baths: Children over 8 must use gender-separated public baths on their own.
- Onsen Etiquette: No toys or electronics are allowed in bathing areas; constant supervision is required.

A nice place to relax. We have a good time here!

This place is huge! I had 2 hours and it wasn't enough if you want to properly enjoy everything.

The onsen was crowded. You charge ...

It is a facility which you have hot spring, sauna, steam room, massage, Internet cafe all together. There are a lot of young couples due to the location. After bath you can have a dinner. The meals are not bad. It will be closed 1-2am depends on the day and restaurant will be closed 11:30pm. *if you have a tattoo, not allowed to enter….* Due to make fierce to other people that you might be YAKUZA.

The saunas (2) are pretty nice. For ¥800, it's ok. Also has a nice lounge spot for relaxing after your bath. H...
