This hotel is small but has everything you need. It's comfortable and clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly. They always greet you with a smile and a nod when you enter the lobby, which is a nice touch. On the first floor, they serve a complimentary breakfast buffet in the mornings, which I found to have a good variety of options. At other times, it seems to be available as a reservable study room (I'm not sure if there's a fee) with free tea, perfect for reading or working. Its location right next to Saga Station is super convenient. Supermarkets and restaurants seem to be concentrated in this area, and the bus center is also nearby. Overall, it's a really good value for money hotel. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Saga for a leisurely trip.
Green Rich Hotel Tosu is our first choice hotel in Tosu area. Location is very close to JR Station, many restaurants and supermarket nearby, very quiet at night, feel safe walking around.
We will stay again in Green Rich Hotel Tosu if we visit Tosu next time.
This is a sauna resort, where you could have access to the sauna and then have some food at the lounge after a whole day's work.
The rooms are traditional Japanese-style beds and design, with a little balcony looking at the ocean view.
For the breakfast buffet, I am extremely satisfied, where the cleanliness and hygiene are very good, and the food taste is also delicious. It is an international style buffet, having different kinds of food from different countries, but the resort still insisted on keeping the Japanese corner, in which it is my very first time to try out such a high-quality Japanese standard breakfast in my whole lifetime, and I would say it is really amazing and worth coming again!!
English is very convenient, many English instructions, but the front desk staff's English is general, check-in is also self-service in English, you can ask if you mind. I lived opposite Mercure the day before. The sea view view is not as good as this river view (including Tangjin City view). It is very beautiful. There is a light view at night. There is a small public bath on the first floor. It is so pleasant! Cost-effective choice! The room is warm, there are some, interesting is that the refrigerator is also independent (with English instructions). I stayed for one night without room cleaning. This seems to be cleaned every three days. The garbage can be placed in the corridor. Many Japanese hotels are like this. There is a fast food restaurant next to it, walking distance to JR station, going out is the riverside, a good place to walk. There are (paid) bicycle rentals in the hotel instructions, I did not ask in detail. There are many self-collected items in the lobby, and the English logo has free coffee in the morning, but I left the store earlier and did not use it.
I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, especially if your budget allows for it!
The room windows offer direct views of the moat, and the hotel is incredibly close to attractions like the hot air balloon festival grounds and shrines.
**Transportation:** From Saga Station, you can take the Showa Bus (towards Karatsu) directly to the hotel. Alternatively, the most convenient option is to simply take a taxi.
**Service:** I absolutely have to commend the hotel's front desk staff! They were an enormous help! Due to heavy rains in the Kyushu region, I found myself stranded in Saga and had difficulty getting around. I wanted to arrange for my luggage to be sent directly to my next hotel in Fukuoka. A lady wearing glasses at the front desk was exceptionally helpful in assisting me with filling out the Takkyubin (luggage delivery service) forms. Even though the courier company ultimately couldn't guarantee delivery to my next hotel before my departure due to the heavy rain, the hotel staff's assistance was invaluable and greatly appreciated!
**Dining:** When it's too hot in summer, taking a break at the hotel's first-floor cafe, sipping coffee and enjoying the views, is a fantastic way to relax. (The Baumkuchen is delicious!)
KARAE HOTEL boasts an incredibly convenient location, right in front of Karatsu Station. The ground floor connects to a cafe, a Chinese restaurant, and a creative Japanese Omakase spot. Izakayas, the century-old Takeya Unagi restaurant, and a tofu shop are all within a 5-minute walk and offer delicious food. Upstairs, there's even a mini cinema and co-working space, so you'll never be bored, even on a rainy day.
I stayed in a female dormitory bed, and the space was well-designed, simple, and clean, with no strange odors. Each bed had a curtain for excellent privacy, and the mattress and pillow were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. There were power outlets and a small lamp by the bed, along with a space to put your phone and valuables – the details were very thoughtful.
The public areas are also worth mentioning. The toilets and showers are separate and very clean. The communal kitchen isn't large but has all the basic facilities for simple heating or making instant ramen. The laundry room has coin-operated washers and dryers, making it convenient for longer stays.
The entire space is quiet and welcoming, perfect for solo female travelers. Double rooms are also available for couples or families. Downstairs, it's just a 3-minute walk to catch a bus to Yobuko, Karatsu Castle, and Niji-no-Matsubara. The service is very personalized and attentive.
The location is very near to the tosu premium outlet.
It's like a boutique hotel with free parking lots.
Receptionists are very friendly and speak a good command of English. Will recommend.
Booked an ocean view room (with breakfast and dinner) to celebrate my husband's birthday, tried to ask the hotel a few weeks before departure if a cake could be prepared, was rejected, and no other options (such as ordering a cake on behalf of others are also possible) or arrangements were offered. On the day of arrival, there was a welcome cake for guests 😅, I didn't understand why I couldn't help prepare a birthday cake. This hotel is not recommended if you want to celebrate a birthday or special day.
The rooms were large and the sea view was beautiful, but the quality of the restaurant's buffet dinner was average, and the food and service were really disappointing for a 4-star hotel. The stay was sparsely populated and the occupancy rate seemed not high. Delayed check-out for an hour, the charge is JPY6050, which is quite expensive. overall experience average, stay once is enough, will not return visit.
The hotel was very basic and had everything we needed. Close to the train station and near restaurants you can't go too wrong. The only issue was the strong bleach smell we first encountered when we entered the room, and the walls were super thin. We could hear our neighbor coughing and snoring.
Nicely designed hotel. But rooms are small and tight. Not easy to walk around. Location a little off the center of Saga City but lots of car parking available. Service was good and helpful. And you can even buy a fireworks and play!

Very Good
My stay at Ureshino Onsen Yoshidaya Uchiroji Hondori (also known as Yadoya Uchiroji Hondori) was a tale of two extremes in the charming hot spring town of Ureshino, Saga Prefecture. The hotel was modern Japanese-style with smart check-in system. The twin room was spacious, impeccably clean, and exude serene comfort, making it a perfect retreat. The private onsen facilities truly shine— It was a free slot with 40 mins, which could be booked once via QR Code at the room. Ureshino's famous sodium-rich hot springs, renowned as one of Japan's top three for beautifying the skin, deliver silky-smooth water that leaves you feeling rejuvenated. However, the meal plan was a major letdown. I sent an email to the hotel to confirm my booking and stated I did not eat beef before. The customer service replied I had to pay extra per person in order to change the meat option. For over JPY 38,000 per night including breakfast and dinner, we anticipated premium kaiseki cuisine or traditional served Japanese dinner set. Instead, only a bento box with cold salad and an underwhelming beef and egg pie that felt mismatched for the price. Tragically, my husband experienced vomiting shortly after, likely food-related, which overshadowed our trip. And the breakfast was also disappointing, which was only cold sandwiches with a cup of tea or milk. Thus, I strongly recommend the hotel clearly states the exact contents of dinner and breakfast plans on booking sites—including detailed menus or photos—and offers flexible options, such as plan changes or alternatives, if guests fall ill from the food. This transparency and adaptability would greatly enhance the experience and prevent frustration.
Room is spacious and the river view from our room is very nice. However, the toilet is small. The breakfast buffet has a very good spread, and overall quality was good. There are also free drinks and snacks at a spacious lounge for customers at various times of the day. Parking is on the hotel ground and free.
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.
I recently stayed at this hotel, and one of the best aspects was its proximity to the train station. It took me only a few minutes to walk there, making my travel around the city hassle-free. The convenience of having the train station nearby meant I could easily access all the main attractions without the need for taxis or long walks. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Overall, the location made my stay very enjoyable and efficient, especially for someone like me who prefers public transportation.
