Hotels Near Funatsuka Tomb in Saga

After getting off the train at Saga Station, I found it even more desolate than expected. It is indeed the place that ranks first in the list of the least attractive prefectures for many years. I walked a few hundred meters in the wind and rain to reach the Hagakure B&B. The appearance is no different from that of ordinary residential single-family houses. It is a relatively large villa. After entering the door, I found that the lighting and atmosphere are quite warm. There is only a young lady at the front desk. You need to scan the code, fill in the information, take a photo of your passport, and finally see the entry and exit password and get the room key. I booked a four-person female dormitory. The ventilation is probably not very good. One of the people living with me may have lived there for several days. I don’t know if it is Chinese medicine or something. The smell fills the room and can’t be dispersed. Fortunately, the store is very considerate to set up a small portable fan at the head of the bed. At night, the fan is always turned on to speed up ventilation. There was another small incident. Because it rained that day, we left our wet umbrellas at the entrance area to dry. We didn’t expect to find out the next morning that the area was locked from the evening until the next day when new check-ins were received. Therefore, when we left the next morning, another customer and I couldn’t go to the bar area to get our umbrellas. Fortunately, after contacting the store, we got their understanding and they promised to send our umbrellas to our homes. Although I haven’t received them yet, I’d like to give a thumbs up to this early response!

For my RE_PRAY trip, I found a vacancy before departure and booked this hotel instead. It was nice not to have to run around. Just two steps from the south exit of Saga Station is the Sakura Hotel. The location is very convenient. The bus stop is also very close and it is very convenient to go to and from the airport. It takes about 20 minutes to walk slowly to SAGA ARENA, which is very convenient. There is also a large COMBOX supermarket next to it, which is very easy to buy. Sushi and sashimi are half-priced in the evening, which is very cost-effective. The strawberry and maple waffles are also delicious. Unfortunately, there is no place to cook, so I didn’t buy the half-priced side on Saturday. He Niu, there’s a lot of food around. There is a hot spring pool on the first floor, but there are not many people taking a bath. If you walk there in the early morning, you can basically take a bath alone, which is very refreshing. Breakfast every day is delicious (I usually have a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun). When I get up in the morning, it's so delicious. The curry and bread are very fragrant. The breakfast coupon is also designed to look good, but it's a pity that I can't keep it. The front desk staff provide very good service, but they can basically only communicate in Japanese. There is only one staff member who can speak a little English. It is recommended to prepare a translation app. The room is of normal size, a 26-inch suitcase will be a little cramped, and there is a humidifier! When I checked in, I saw a paper crane folded on the table, ありがとう~ Thank you Saga for leaving me such wonderful memories🩵

The location is good, you can see Saga Station and the bus station directly, but the check-in procedure is a bit cumbersome, after all, it's a self-service hotel that requires a password. Of course, there is a link to fill in the information online in advance, but anyway, it's a bit emmm that you have to make a Skype call when checking in. Because it's an apartment, the space is relatively large, the double bed is quite comfortable, and the pillow is the type that I like with enough firmness. When you leave the room the next day, you have to scan the code on the door to check out, otherwise you can't open the door.

I left Saga for the first time. It was near the moat of Saga Castle, quiet, and the building facilities, beds and living rooms had a history, but the linens were clean, so it was also tasteful and there was no discomfort. I would have been grateful if the front desk staff were small and the hospitality was a little more substantial, but it may be unavoidable because it is the end of the corona. Breakfast was Japanese and Western 々 and I was able to have a fun meal with my friends from the morning. Saga was quiet and healed enough as Hiro 々. Also, I would like to visit hot springs slowly.

Public transportation is inconvenient, it is recommended to drive by car, there are many hot springs nearby to choose from, the proprietress is very enthusiastic and proficient in Chinese, will carefully recommend the surrounding attractions 👍🏻

We came to Yanagawa to see and ride on the old canals and stayed at this authentic Japanese hotel for a night . Nice place right beside the canal where you can see the boats going by. There were three of us so we had a big room, one part Western with two single beds the other part was a Japanese tatami mat room where the staff made up a bed on the floor while we were at dinner. Booking in was easy and staff super polite which is the normal in Japan. Before dinner we went to the hot springs bath and relaxed in the lovely hot waters. We had booked in for dinner 6.30 pm. in the main dining room , we went in the Yukata’s that the hotel provided, very relaxing. Dinner was a set menu, typical Japanese food, about ten little bowls containing different items, miso soup, different Sashimi’s, chicken , pickles , eel, which this area is famous for and another lovely small fried fish, plenty to fill you up and for sweets a huge piece of water melon. The room did have a bath and shower but didn’t use them as we used the hot spring baths, there was free wifi, a safe and good TV. Slept well. First thing in the morning we went to the outside hot bath before going and enjoying a smorgasbord breakfast. In the Rockpool baths they supply all you need , body soap , shampoo, conditioner, hairdryers etc, always a nice experience. Typical Japanese breakfast , no cereals but plenty to choose from. We had trout and puffer fish, plenty of veggies, the scrambled egg was scrumptious. Plenty of fruit, mango , orange and delicious pineapple. While we went of doing a boat ride on the canals the hotel held our luggage for us, very handy. The hotel also has a good gift shop. We enjoyed our stay, gives you a real Japanese hotel experience.

I came to Kyushu at the end of the year and the beginning of the year and looked for a hotel near Fukuoka Tenjin to go to Dazaifu on New Year's Day, but I was here because it was expensive and Yanagawa was cheaper than Tenjin, and the train flight was good. １ night ８３００ yen was cheaper than the center of Fukuoka, and it was convenient for sightseeing within １ hours by train for the distance to go to Dazaifu the next day. It is a few minutes walk from the station to the hotel (the opposite direction to the shuttle bus stop down the boat). The room was also very good for the price.

One of the best service i ever experienced in my life. We were having difficulty trying out the famous yakitori in this town (FYI, you would need to make reservation in advance which we were not aware of), as such we went to check with the receptionist at the front desk at around 11pm on the last night of our stay. The receptionist was very helpful. She tried her best to assist us to call multiple yakitori shops nearby and recommended us the one just opposite our hotel. We placed our order (for take out orders to our hotel) with the yakitori shop that was recommended by the receptionist but unfortunately, we did not collect our order in full as we did not check our orders collected and realized that we missed out on a few items after collecting the orders to our hotel rooms. To our surprise, our order that was not collected was delivered to our doorstep by the receptionist lady. The service experienced was beyond our expectation. We would like to express our greatest appreciation to the staff that assisted us. Thank you very much! どうもありがとうございます。

The hotel is not close to the station and is more suitable for guests driving. The front desk staff is courteous and there is welcome coffee for check-in. For country hotels, the room is not big, but it is very clean. Our room was originally made up can not open the window, and the air is not circulating enough. After reporting to the front desk, he brought an electric fan and a key to the next room, so we decided to turn around. Finally, we decided to turn around the room where we could open the window, and we slept comfortably until dawn.
