"It’s run with great care and the dinner was delicious."

"We visited to celebrate a family birthday. It's about an hour and 15 minutes by car from Saga City. It's a great driving route, following the Ariake Sea coastline. Located on the border between Saga and Nagasaki prefectures, the road is lined with oyster huts and crab restaurants! Upon arriving at the hotel, we checked in at the lobby lounge. We were served loquat tea and pudding! There was even a live crab in the lobby, which heightened our expectations. While the building isn't new, the rooms have been renovated and are beautiful. There's plenty of modern art, creating a lovely atmosphere. The room has a variety of lighting options, and the dimming is convenient. The wide windows offer a spectacular view of Mount Unzen-Fugen. The ocean below was also beautiful. Our room, room 603, featured a twin bed, a semi-open-air bath, a shower room, and a U-shaped sofa large enough for four people. The refrigerator was like something you'd find in an old-fashioned inn—it couldn't even fit a 500ml bottle upright. Don't expect great coffee or tea in the room. Instead, there's a lounge with coffee and detox water, which is convenient. The balcony leading out from the lounge also looks spectacular. That said, crab dishes are the main attraction here. For dinner, we chose the crab and Saga beef course. There were four crabs for four people: two males and two females. One crab seemed to have a low female egg count, so we got an extra female. The staff first cut the crab into bite-sized pieces, and then we ate it ourselves! Since 2024 was warm until early December, the crab and oysters had yet to mature. However, the crab was delicious. Personally, the sashimi and carpaccio were excellent! The chefs prepared the crabs at the open counter, so they were very fresh. The sauna and bath on the seventh floor were a bit disappointing. The semi-open-air bath in the room was excellent. Ariake no Yu on the first floor was a little small, but it was a wonderful sauna where you could enjoy the Ariake Sea. The room rate was a little high because it was the end of the year, but I think it's the best hotel to enjoy Takezaki crab. I would like to return if I have the opportunity."

"The hotel is located near the seaside. We stayed in a "panoramic sea view room with a semi-open-air terrace". The sea view in the room was quite good. You can watch the sunrise in the morning and the moon rising from the sea level in the evening. But it’s a little far away from Hizen-Oura Train Station, a 20+ minute walk. The nearest BUS station to the hotel is about a 10-minute walk. The check-in time for Japanese hotels is 3 p.m., so when we rushed to the hotel after traveling all the way , and was told to check in at three o'clock, even if no one is staying in the hotel. If the itinerary is booked, you can also tell the hotel in advance to arrange pick-up service."

"Staff are very helpful"

"The hotel was exceptionally attentive and welcoming, providing meticulous service in every detail. Dinner and breakfast were very generous, and they even kindly recommended nearby attractions. I will definitely stay here again next time. Thank you!"

"The room was clean and tidy, the space was large, and the bathroom space was enough. The view of the harbor + private houses outside the window is very good and the view is wide. One berth and two meals, the meal is very large, the seafood is very fresh, the store also sent a sake 🍶, and the breakfast is also very rich. Hotel characteristic Shandong hot spring ♨️ must experience, invincible original style, very good hotel experience."

"We came as a family of four. The best memory of this trip for our 6-year-old and 4-year-old was the kids' room at Kaijokan... It was a spacious and fun-looking room. The parents chatted while watching their children play after taking a bath. I wish there was coffee. The room was renovated, so it was clean, universal design, and had a hammock, so it was very comfortable. The crab was delicious, and they wrapped up the part we couldn't finish. It's true that the waitress seemed to be concerned about the time we would return, but everyone has their own lives, so it's the same for everyone. That said, I was surprised when I saw the price. I wonder if we paid that much? I don't remember, but it's not a "so-called high-class inn." It was perfect for a family. I lived in Nagasaki for 7 years, but I never knew there was such a wonderful place in Saga. It was a fun fishing port to take a walk in. On the way back, we turned a potter's wheel nearby and then moved on to the next place."

"房間比較舊位比較遠，食物方便唔錯"
