[Leisure & Spa Resort ASOBIYUKU Kyoto Rurikei Onsen] (Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture) is a leisure facility where visitors can enjoy natural hot springs, glamping, and barbecues. With a wide variety of play areas—including an adventure course and go-karts for children—there’s enough to keep visitors entertained all day long.

Kids who want to get active should head first to the “LEISURE AREA,” set against the backdrop of the great outdoors. They can have a blast in the soft dome, where they can bounce around like on a trampoline, or on the climbing nets, which let them use their whole bodies to scale the structures. It’s also great that there are sofas for resting set up around the play equipment, so adults can sit comfortably and keep an eye on their children. In addition to the playground equipment, the facility also features the “PLAYING FIELD,” which offers about 50 different activities, including bouldering, strikeout, and shooting games. We also recommend the “TEKUTEKU ROAD” hiking trail, where the whole family can enjoy the spectacular highland scenery with all five senses.

Once the kids have played to their hearts’ content and are ravenous, head to the Ruri-yu Food Park in the “SPA AREA,” which features a full lineup of dishes that kids love. With a diverse lineup of about 100 different dishes—ranging from classics like ramen and curry rice to the wildly popular donuts—there’s something to satisfy even the adults. Special kids’ meals packed with treats that little ones will love are also available.

In addition, “ASOBuono!” and “Cafe GARDENS” have newly opened on the second floor of the [VILLA Center House], further expanding the lunch menu. With a wide variety of options—such as pasta cooked on a teppan grill and bagels made with domestic wheat—there’s something to satisfy every family member’s cravings, leaving both your stomach and your heart feeling full of happiness.

Right next to the Food Park is a spacious area featuring the large indoor adventure playground “Aso Kids Land,” an indoor sandbox, and a wide selection of toys for pretend play. Children waiting to enter the Food Park or those who get restless during a meal can play to their hearts’ content here without getting bored, their eyes sparkling with excitement. Since it’s an open space where parents can keep an eye on them, adults can relax and watch their children play freely with peace of mind. Because it’s indoors, it’s a welcome relief that it can be used regardless of the weather—whether it’s a sweltering midsummer day or a cold, rainy day.
