Hotéis 2-Star em Saga Prefecture, Japan

Very good, is the ideal place for backpackers. A room A alone, big enough, clean facilities, although I will slightly hear someone talking next door, but it does not prevent a person from sleeping. Although the stairs upstairs (2nd floor) are a bit steep, but once a day, go upstairs and go downstairs. According to the information provided by the email, you are not a senior backpacker and have no ability to do things. You must contact the administrator in advance. The location is also very good, about 1.4 kilometers from the station, providing instant coffee. The fly in the ointment is that there is no refrigerator. If you go to Saga, you will still live here.

Book when the room price is lower, the price/performance ratio is super high. The store is directly facing the seaside, with beautiful sea views, and is also close to the historical windbreak pine forest of Niji no Matsubara. The interior decoration is simple and tidy. The public activity area can be used for cooking, laundry, and clothes drying rods. The waiters are very friendly. A small hotel that is comfortable to stay in all the time.

The Japanese-style rooms aren't ideal for older people; you have to change shoes before entering the hotel and there's a seating arrangement in the room. The view is absolutely stunning; you can enjoy views of Karatsu Castle from the room, especially the beautiful night view. The service is also very good; they can communicate in English.

A beautiful guesthouse at a convenient location. Located off a smaller street behind the river (follow the yellow signs to find the guesthouse) and within walking distance to the public bathhouse and other attractions. Paid parking was off-site at the public bathhouse just a couple minutes away. The room was clean and the futons were very comfortable -- perfect for winding down for a restful night of sleep after a long day of travelling.The hosts were very friendly and helpful! Wish we could stay here longer! Would definitely stay here again when we return!

I loved our stay! Ladies that run the ryokan are the most beautiful souls! They will look after you and make sure you feel well. You need to take into consideration it’s an older kind of ryokan, has nothing to do with modern places but it’s spacious, it’s in the nature, it’s perfectly clean and has great onsen after which you’ll feel super rested. The dinner is quite expensive but totally worth it! We had amazing experience! Breakfast is a feast! Everything was so lovely. I hope I will be able to go back.

The separate bathroom and washbasin in the hotel room were very convenient. In particular, the plump female receptionist at the front desk was very enthusiastic and provided excellent service. The Japanese breakfast provided by the hotel was very good. The hotel is not far from Karatsu Station and is close to the city hall and Karatsu Shrine, making it easy to find.

Need a car to reach the place, but it's easy to find via GPS. The hosts have been very friendly and guided us well. The kids had fun walking the goats, feeding the chickens, and helping with the cooking. It's a good place to destress and feel nature once again.

Wanting to watch the Yobuko Fireworks Festival right from our room, I booked as soon as the dates were announced. We arrived at the guesthouse just past 3 PM. A lovely young girl dressed in a Halloween costume welcomed us, and the cozy, homely atmosphere immediately put us at ease. The fireworks were launched right in front of our room—it was the ultimate spot and an incredible setting. Thank you so much to the owner for such an affordable stay.

This was my last trip, taken to celebrate my mother's birthday during Golden Week. This time, we stayed in a twin room with a two-meal plan (dinner and breakfast). Since the hotel is located on a mountain, there are no shops nearby. I recommend buying anything you need before you check in. The hotel itself was new, modern, and very clean. It spans three floors, from the first basement to the second floor. Some hallways are a bit narrow, but you don't really encounter many people, so it's not an issue. After checking in, we headed straight to the public bath. It had a modern design and featured two saunas. The semi-open-air bath was incredibly relaxing. I'm always amazed by the unique, silky smooth water quality of Takeo Onsen! Dinner was at 5:30 PM in the restaurant on the first floor. You can go in your yukata (room wear), but it didn't quite match the atmosphere of the place, though the dim lighting made it less noticeable. The vegetables at dinner were absolutely delicious, almost as impressive as the meat and fish – they truly felt like a main dish! I went to the onsen again that night, and while I really wanted to enjoy some manga in the relaxation area, sleepiness got the better of me, and I went straight to bed. I woke up in the morning, enjoyed another soak in the onsen, and then had breakfast at 9 AM. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, and it was the kind of food your body thanks you for in the morning! You can get refills on rice and miso soup. Check-out was at 10 AM. The water, beer, and non-alcoholic cocktails in the room's mini-fridge were all included, and you could even take them with you! We were sent off at the entrance, which was a lovely touch, and left feeling very content. Even for us, who don't have much sauna experience, it was a refreshing and rejuvenating trip in just one night.

The hotel is incredibly close to the train station, making the location super convenient. There are also lots of restaurants nearby, plus all sorts of little shops right inside the station, which is really nice.
