Do I need to book bed and meals for a 2yr old and 3 yr old

Hi

Our family will be staying at Taiseikan Ryokan in Hakone for 1 nite. I wonder if I need to book bed and meals for my 2 daughters? Can they share my meals? If I don%26#39;t book a bed, does it mean they won%26#39;t have a futon?

Lastly, do kids that young go into the onsen?? I would imagine it would be too hot for them ;p

Look fwd to some advice!

Their website in Japanese says the following about booking for children under age 9 in their least expensive room type..

No meal, no futon charge is ¥3150

No meal, with futon charge is 30% of adult

Kids meal, no futon charge is ¥6,300

Kids meal, with futon charge is 50% of adult

We took our daughter when she was that young and she was fine but did not stay long in the bath but enjoyed water play anyway. We always had a private room for the bath so as to not bother others.

Japanese babies soak in onsen with Mom and Dad. Unnn...good... their face seem to be relaxed! Kids love to play with water like in a pool. Japanese kids doesn%26#39;t think it is hot, the water temperature is used to the same at home.

I don%26#39;t know your ryokan has available, there are baby chairs in Onsens and public baths here.

What those looks? Please see photos in this web-page.

My 7 year old (who goes in hot tubs in Canada) found the baths in Japan waaaayyy too hot for her. I would definately test before and go in slowly.
