Hotels Near House of Yamaguchi Family in Saga

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.

Yanagawa is a peaceful and beautiful water town. This is an old-style hot spring hotel with older but clean facilities. Rich breakfast and attentive service. The hotel gives away a coupon of 1,000 yen per person, which can be used to participate in the river cruise activities organized by the hotel. Great!

We stayed at the Ohana for three nights in a Western room. The hotel also has Japanese style rooms. The room was large, clean and had a great view over the garden. The lack of cupboards or shelves meant we had to put our clothes on the floor. Japanese hotels often have limited storing space for clothes, but the Ohana took it a bit further. Wlan was fast and free.The staff is polite, very friendly and helpful. Parking is free and the staff reserves spots for the guests. A set Japanese breakfast at 7.30 or 8.00, no other options. The Japanese breakfast was extensive and of excellent quality, the western breakfast we got served the second day was also very good. The hotel has a two person public bath and free transport and entrance to a much larger onsen with extensive facilities. Hard to compare this hotel with a regular hotel because of its specific character. I would certainly recommend staying here.

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.

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 enjoyed our stay at Garden Terrace Saga, with its modern rooms and superb service. We arrived after a long day of travels around Saga prefecture. Please note that there is an entrance via Shinei Dori Street, Dive through the red building tunnel, across a short bridge and make a left turn, the hotel is on your right. After a quick check-in process, we were escorted to our room on the 6th floor. Our agent had booked us the honeymoon suite and it was absolutely lovely. After a brief introduction, she left us to our own devices. Upon entry, two large double beds occupied the double ceiling area. This room was at the apex of the Isosceles-triangle-shaped hotel. Beds had clean and smooth sheets and was super comfortable. Bedside charging points are in built into the side table area. A large flat screen TV is mounted on the wall in front of the bed. Mostly local TV channels though! Walking beyond the beds is the make-up table with comfy chair and large mirror. The closest is behind this and you can find slippers, bath robes and the room safe here. There is an exit door behind the floor to ceiling mirrors here too, with staircase leading down. I believe the housekeeping uses this to get into the room. Beware that the door was not locked when we found it. Some added security here for guests would be ideal. Moving back to the main door, and to the right is a small toilet area, separate from the shower/bathroom area. The standard Japanese toilet and small sink is housed here. if you walk to the left as you approach the main door, there is a large sitting area with comfy sofa, and another TV. There is also a 6 seater dining table. The hotel was really good to us and gave us a box of cakes that was left in the man-height fridge. The hotel also notified the Teppanyaki restaurant that I had a bottle bubbly from a previous stay in the fridge. Thus restaurant flipped the beverage menu to the champagne page we were given the menus. We liked this sharing of information! There is tea and coffee making facilities here too. Wifi is standard throughout the hotel and it was pretty fast and strong.. The bathroom is right behind the living room TV. Double sinks and loads to amenities. There was also a bottle of bathing sake for guest use. A rain shower and bath tub is connected to the bathroom. One can also exit the bathroom and into the enclosed balcony area [or go out via the living room]. where there is a large seating area is ready to welcome guests, as well as a jacuzzi. I went down to the gym on the two mornings we overnighted here. The gym is small and narrow with very select machines. One multi function weight machine, two light dumbbells station and one treadmill and bicycle/elliptical [?] machine. There is a small swimming pool and a Sauna cabin next to it. Towels and water are readily available. Our room came with breakfast and they arranged for us to take it in the Eecutive lounge. The breakfast can either be Japanese or Western. We went with we

There are very few foreign tourists. They are places where local people go to hot springs. Because there are fewer tourists, communication is a bit difficult. A thin man at the front desk will speak a little English, patiently tell us about the hotel facilities, warm smiles, poor communication. At the time, let us draw on the map, the location is far from the Saga JR station, more than 8 kilometers. The hotel shuttle runs every hour, but the shuttle location is very difficult to find. At the north exit, follow the left, semi-circular passage to the side of the road, under a traffic light, there is a North Island dessert shop opposite. The location of the South Exit Shuttle is more concealed. The South Exit is a parking lot, and the parking lot is on the south side of the road. It is basically not visible at the exit. The hotel spa is not bad, there are several, and there are open air. Hotel breakfast is pure Japanese, one person, not used to eat! Dinner is good, there is Saga beef, the taste is good, the mother of the restaurant does not speak English, but the smile of the face and the warm Japanese introduction, I don't understand, but people are moved! There is a children's play area, kids like it! I feel that many locals are specializing in hot springs, and it seems that they are not fully accommodated. It takes about 25 minutes to get to the train station. The traffic jam at the peak of the commute near Saga train station is a bit serious.

ONCRI It is read as Oncri. I couldn't stay overnight, so I used the day trip hot spring. ONCRI is the big building you can see right in front of you as you enter the hot spring town of Furuyu. My first impression was, ”It's big!” It's nice that even though it's a large accommodation facility, you can use the hot springs for day trips regardless of the time of day. The price is 1300 yen. Comes with one towel. The hot springs are very warm and perfect for a long soak. There are many different types of bathtubs to enjoy, including a sauna, jet bath, open-air bath, steam bath, barrel bath, and cascading bath, and even I, who was from Karasu no Gyosui, was able to enjoy it for an hour. Lockers for shoes and valuables The lockers in the changing room are either free or 100 yen refundable, so you don't need to pay anything other than the bathing fee. It would be nice to enjoy the cafe in the hotel lobby after taking a bath. I definitely want to stay overnight next time.

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.

お部屋 角部屋だったので、川と海とお城すべてが見える とてもきれいな部屋でした。 通常のツインよりも少し広めだと思います。 大浴場 部屋のユニットバスは利用せず、大浴場に行きました。 シャンプーバーがあり、お風呂も広めですいていて、 洗面コーナーでのドライヤーもゆっくりとできました。 以前はスリッパに名前シールを貼って、他人のものと取り違えないような仕組みになっていましたが、 なくなっていましたので、引き続きしていただけるとありがたいです。 ウェルカムラウンジ 新しく始まったサービスで、フリードリンクとお菓子（グミやマシュマロなど）がありました。 コーヒー、紅茶、ソフトドリンクだけでなく、 ビールとスパークリングワインまであって驚きました。 開放感のある会場で、のんびり過ごすことができました。 駐車場は無料、近くにコンビニもあって便利です。 また利用させていただきます。
