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. ♨️

SealionMy 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.

Guest UserI recently stayed at Hotel R9 and had a pleasant experience, giving it an overall rating of 4 out of 5. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for short stays like overnight visits.
The unique concept of individual container rooms at Hotel R9 adds a touch of novelty to the experience. While the rooms may not be spacious enough for two males sharing a double room, they are still comfortable for couples. I found the rooms to be clean and well-maintained, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Although Hotel R9 lacks fancy facilities like hot spring pools, swimming pools, and saunas, it does provide a convenient laundry room. This is particularly useful for solo and family travelers on a long trip but with a short stay at the hotel. Additionally, the hotel offers the option to soak in a hot water bath, which is especially rejuvenating when feeling tired. In terms of facilities, Hotel R9 falls slightly short with a rating of 3 out of 5. However, considering its focus on providing a comfortable and unique stay, the overall experience compensates for the limited facilities.
The hotel's location is excellent, receiving a perfect 5 out of 5 rating when driving. As for the service, while it was generally good, there is room for improvement, leading to a rating of 4 out of 5.
In conclusion, Hotel R9 is a great choice for travelers seeking a short, convenient stay. With its clean rooms, excellent location for drivers, and a range of practical amenities, it offers a pleasant experience overall.

Guest UserThe room is spacious and very comfortable. The hotel offers an afternoon lounge and an evening lounge, making it excellent value for money. The hot spring facilities are also quite large, and generally not crowded as there aren't too many guests. It's very close to the beach and a pine forest. There's also a convenient store nearby. Karatsu is a quiet little town, perfect for unwinding.

Posted on Feb 23, 2026|Japanese Western Style Twin Room With Hot Spring Bath-Kaede
Guest UserMy partner and I stayed here. I think it would have been easier to get to if we'd had a car. The building is made of wood, and the creaking sounds as you walk around were actually quite pleasant, in a way that only a wooden building can be. The hot spring water had a wonderfully thick texture that felt great on my skin. The private onsen in our room was also fantastic, though the drainage was a bit slow. The food was delicious, and I especially loved the yudofu (boiled tofu) for breakfast. We were also very happy that we could order extra Saga beef!

$heWould definitely return to this hotel. Our room was very spacious and most importantly clean. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Their English were not very good but they tried their best with hand signals and mobile translators. We had breakfast included and the food was plentiful and delicious. The hotel offered a pick up and drop off service to and from the train station which is extremely useful. Overall a great stay.

Evon Foo.We chose to stay here because hotels in Fukuoka were very expensive, and since we had the JR Pass, this location right beside the Tosu station was super convenient. The room was very clean, and the facilities were great — especially the included breakfast! It was a wonderful chance to try local Japanese dishes, and I really enjoyed it. The breakfast starts as early as 6:30am, which was very thoughtful — I still remember rushing to catch the 6:50am train to Fukuoka after eating, and I even had 5 minutes to spare, haha!
Staff were friendly and helpful, though English communication was a bit more limited — probably because it’s not a major station area. Still, everyone had a great attitude and tried their best. Overall, a very satisfying stay!

Book when the room price is lower, the price/performance ratio is super high. The store is directly facing the seaside, with beautiful sea views, and is also close to the historical windbreak pine forest of Niji no Matsubara. The interior decoration is simple and tidy. The public activity area can be used for cooking, laundry, and clothes drying rods. The waiters are very friendly. A small hotel that is comfortable to stay in all the time.

Julia912We had a wonderful stay here. The room was exceptionally clean, modern, and felt very new and cosy. Despite being right beside the train station, the area was surprisingly quiet and peaceful at night.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and nice throughout our stay. A huge plus was the large lounge area, which was the perfect spot for us to gather, hang out, and chat late into the night. Highly recommend!
