Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido is always ranked number one in the ranking of popular zoos. When planning outings this summer, many people are considering staying in Asahikawa with their children, but we have good news for such mothers! By chance, we came across a hotel full of services that "welcome children!" Based on my own experience, this time I would like to introduce to you some recommended spots that will make mothers with children feel safe.

The hotel in question is "Hotel Route Inn Grand Asahikawa Ekimae." It is a very convenient hotel, just a 2-minute walk from the north exit of Asahikawa Station and about 25 minutes by car from Asahiyama Zoo!

Point 1 for mothers with children: "Full amenities for children"

The rooms are equipped with hotel wear for children, as well as teddy bear slippers and Musasabi-kun toothbrushes. So cute!!

What's more, if you book a special plan, you can even get a cute souvenir candy packaged exclusively for Asahiyama Zoo! My child was so happy with this treat that he was jumping for joy.

Peace of mind for mothers with children #2: "Child-friendly services that will keep you smiling!"

There are also children's picture books available in the lobby, which you can take back to your room to read. Even children who normally read picture books before going to bed can fall asleep peacefully.

You can also watch your child's favorite anime for free on the TV in the room. If they can watch it for a little while, it's a great help to mom and dad when they're busy getting ready. (I actually found it a great help when I was getting ready in the morning!) In addition, there was an introduction to "Gokko Land," a social experience app called "Route Inn Hotels Hotel Jobs!", which allows you to experience working as a hotel staff member on your smartphone!

Peace of mind for mothers with children #3: "Rental services that mothers will love!"

We were also able to borrow a diaper trash can, which is useful if you have a child in diapers, and a bed guard to prevent children from falling off the bed when sleeping.

For children who need a baby bed, we also lend out baby cribs. This way mom, dad, and child can all sleep soundly and without worry.

Of course, there are also hot springs and a buffet breakfast!

And the best thing about Route Inn Grand Asahikawa Ekimae is the natural hot spring and breakfast! The hot spring is Tenjinkyo natural hot spring, which will soothe your body and mind after a long day of travel.

The breakfast buffet has so many items that you'll have a hard time choosing. There are many dishes that are unique to Hokkaido, so even customers from outside the prefecture will be happy. Coronavirus measures such as vinyl gloves and disinfection are thorough, so you can stay here with peace of mind. Of course, chairs for children are also provided.

Conclusion

What do you think? To be honest, before I stayed there, I was worried about whether it was okay to bring a small child to a business hotel, but as soon as I arrived at the hotel, the man at the parking lot and the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming to my child. My worries disappeared in an instant, and I felt lighter. The best thing about a family trip is that everyone can enjoy it.
