This place is about a 5 to 10-minute walk from Takeo Onsen Station. As other reviews mentioned, it's quite old. The air conditioning, in particular, could use some attention. Although it's a ryokan, it seems to operate with a small staff. Breakfast is simple; it's a bit disappointing that there's no meat, but it genuinely offers a light morning meal. Unfortunately, the hot spring water is a circulated, heated, and disinfected type. Nevertheless, how should I put it... it feels like a place that put a lot of effort into it despite a small budget. The staff are very friendly, and the facilities on the first floor are interesting.
I'm very satisfied with the hotel. The breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the public bath was also great. For the private onsen, I recommend the Keifutang (seasonal wind bath), especially for families with two or more people. The Sakuramiyu private onsen seems to be more for single use, and if you're staying in a villa, you probably don't need to bother with it.
Overall, both the regular rooms and villas have the beds located on the second floor, so you'll need to use stairs to access them. In the villas, the bathroom is only on the first floor, which might be a bit inconvenient.
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.
This hotel is the same group as Yoshida House on the previous street. I stayed at Yoshida House Hot Spring Hotel the night before. The second night I stayed at this soup hotel. There was no staff in this soup hotel. It was fully self-service. I encountered difficulties when I checked in. I couldn't enter the hotel and needed to ring the doorbell. Contact the staff of Yoshida House and communicate in general English. After he opened me to the hotel from a distance, I couldn't check-in procedures by myself due to the name problem. I needed to wait for the staff to come over to help. Because the distance from Yoshida House is very close, the staff will come to help in a few minutes. Even if you encounter some difficulties when you check in, the experience in this hotel is good, the room is large, the hotel has free parking, the hot spring water output is slightly slower than Yoshida House, breakfast is to fall downstairs to get a box of sandwiches and a can of drinks, If you want to soak in the private hot springs in the room at a cheap price, you can live in this room, but don't want staff to serve you
Overall, I had a very pleasant experience at this hotel. It is a large hotel and the price was reasonable for the quality of the stay.
The highlight for me was the cleanliness. The hotel also boasts a fantastic amenity: a rooftop onsen (hot spring). It was incredibly relaxing and offered a great way to unwind after a long day of travel.
The main downside, however, was the dining options. While convenient, both the breakfast and dinner buffets were quite expensive. There are probably more affordable local options nearby if you are looking to save on meals.
At first I thought the room was small
But the actual live view is very large
Definitely enough for 3 people to sleep
Also the skin is very smooth after soaking in hot spring water
Skate over skateboards! Will consider staying again next time!
No complaints
Check-in was simple. Bicycle rental was 500 yen per day. The building is right next to the main road, with cars passing by all night, so the soundproofing is terrible. The room and kitchen are separated by a curtain, making it very noisy—noise from all sorts of sources. However, the hostel atmosphere was nice, and they provided free earplugs. Everything else, like towels, cost extra, and the towels actually had a distinctly sour smell, which was disgusting. This was the first time I'd stayed in such a poorly hygienic place in Japan. Towels cost 100 yen, and a small cup of cola costs 300 yen. I recommend bringing your own towels.
It was disappointing that the coffee that was available when we stayed previously was no longer there.
There were also not enough mugs for the number of guests, so someone from another room took one and there were no mugs for us.
There was also only one kettle, so we had to wait a long time at breakfast.
I would like them to take measures when there are a lot of guests.
The quadruple room was comfortable, but there were no curtains or screens on the windows, so it would be better if they provided them.
Walking distance from the bus stop
With shuttle bus to JR station
Nice place, good cleanliness, with private onsen in the room
Amazing

SSongxianghongVery 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.

GGuest UserThis is a very traditional Japanese boutique hotel with a total of only 8 guest rooms. On the ground floor, there are four rooms equipped with private onsen baths, alongside two public hot spring baths. Dinner was an outstanding 10-course Kaiseki meal, which notably included both grilled and steamed Saga Wagyu. The culinary experience here truly outshines even establishments like Taishoya and Charakuen. Highly recommended!

준준화The hotel was so pretty, so I only stayed at the hotel and it was so good !!
The room was so clean and tidy, so I felt like I was resting comfortably throughout my stay. ㅎㅎ There are not many convenience stores around, so if you are going to eat late at night, I recommend buying it in advance on the way. ㅎㅎ ~ Friendly staff The quality of the guide and Kaiseki is the best.
FFungDinner at the time of booking is lobster 🦞 abalone
But no food was provided at the time of the stay
Only salmon is provided
Very disappointed
The best listed food should be the same as when booking
Such as lobster abalone is a expensive food
Prices can be specified
Let the customer decide whether to eat or not
This will not disappoint the guests.
Because I'm going to travel 🧳
I want to live comfortably.
Have fun 😃
But it feels really bad to be cheated!
But the check-in is different from the booking
It will be very, very disappointing 😞

Let guests decide not to stay is the best choice!
AAnonymous UserJapanese style, no reception at the front desk, look at luck, anyway, we have waited for a long time, remember to check out at 10:00am, otherwise it will be charged at 1,000 yen per person, the hotel is in a good location, very close to the station
