Hotels With bar in Saga Prefecture, Japan

I really loved my stay at Ureshino Onsen Taishoya. The hot spring was amazingly smooth, the rooms were clean and beautiful, and the staff were so warm and attentive. A truly relaxing and memorable experience — I would love to come back again. ♨️

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Ureshino Onsen Bus Terminal. Each room comes with a complimentary 40-minute private onsen reservation. The breakfast and dinner were decent, but the portions were a bit small. Upon check-in, we were offered complimentary drinks like black tea, green tea, and coffee, along with some snacks. Alcoholic beverages were available in the evening, and in the morning, there was fruit and yogurt. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay!

Drove there. Our room is located first floor with private onsen bath in the room. No shoes are allowed when you first step into the Ryokan. Slippers are provided. Staff are friendly and nice, the room is clean and spacious. Food was typical Japanese breakfast. The private in-house onsen bath was awesome but sadly on the second day, the onsen bath tub started to leak hot spring water from all sides of the bath tub and from the wall and there is no way to stop the water gushing out! As a kind gesture, the manager gave us some private time on the private onsen (require booking)

The tatami room has a large square window, offering a landscape view like a traditional Chinese painting. It was very pleasant to drink tea and chat while enjoying the scenery. Environment: A pristine natural environment. However, there are no restaurants, convenience stores, or anything else nearby... basically nothing. It's truly a resort-style stay at the hotel itself. Service: Great! Check-in was very comfortable. A butler escorted us to the lobby to relax, offered coffee and candies, and then took us to our room.

Great spot if you’re looking to unwind in tranquillity. We took the room with bath in sea view. The view was no doubt fantastic but not a great idea in winter as the shower is also in open air. The bath is facing the beach so bath with cautious (tested and yes, passerby can see ya if you stand up to move from the tub). Since it’s open air, the shower curtain tends to get into your face when the wind blows. Nonetheless, the room was spacious which was what we wanted. Breakfast was sumptuous. Enjoyed the peace along the beach.

Hot spring hotel, you can directly see the observation deck of Takezaki Port from the room. Breakfast and dinner are both great. You can also choose to enjoy 16 kinds of Japanese wine at dinner🥰Excellent service, thank you very much🙏

I stayed for one night at Suimeiso, an annex of Wataya Bessho. It is the most expensive room type at Wataya Bessho, and there are three main grades within Suimeiso. What sets it apart from other room types is that it features a private hot spring bathtub in the room, in-room dinner and breakfast service, free access to paid public baths, and a private stay. Additionally, complimentary tea and coffee are provided in the lounge area next to the room. You can enjoy a view that feels like a private garden, and a river flows right in front, allowing you to hear the sound of the water 24 hours a day. If you particularly enjoy nature, you will not regret choosing the Suimeiso annex. If the price is a concern, Kachoen, which is one grade lower, is a good alternative. As expected of a luxury ryokan, the quality of service and meals goes without saying. Furthermore, they offer a free shuttle service after check-out, so you can use it if needed. They also provide free beverage coupons per guest, and there is a souvenir shop in the lobby, so it is worth browsing and making a purchase.

I recommend staying in the East Wing; it's newer. There are so many activities available, remember to bring your swimsuit! On the 8th floor, there's an open-air hot spring pool. On the 2nd floor, the relaxation area has four saunas; follow the marked order and timings for a full 26-minute session. At 3 PM, there's a complimentary welcome cake in the hotel lobby. Both the included dinner and breakfast are buffet-style and the food was plentiful and delicious.

Hotel: New and clean facilities. A hotel shuttle can be booked to and from the hotel. The driver mentioned that the developer is the same company that built Ureshino Onsen Station, so they want to heavily develop tourism in the area. Ureshino has 17 hot springs, and this hotel occupies two of them. The water at this hotel is slightly slippery, but not as slippery as in Takeo Onsen. We didn't choose to have dinner at the hotel. There are Italian restaurants and izakayas nearby, and a supermarket is about a 15-minute walk away. The breakfast is plentiful. What I liked most was that each room has a private bath with hot spring water. A minor hiccup: When traveling to Ureshino Onsen, I started from Hakata, then transferred to the Shinkansen at Takeo Onsen. It turns out that the IC card cannot be used to exit the gate at Ureshino Onsen Shinkansen Station; a ticket is required. Furthermore, the IC card cannot be cancelled at the same station; the procedure must be completed at Takeo Station for the return trip. It is highly recommended to buy physical tickets if transferring at Takeo Onsen.

Nice hotel with old world charm and service. Though the room is a bit dated, the furniture is classic, beautiful and very clean. The outdoor onsen is calming and well designed. Too bad that the restaurant was fully booked and we didn’t have the opportunity to try their highly rated dinner.
