Location: Far away from JR but very close to the bus terminal, only 5 minutes away. And the hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off services at the bus terminal, bus transfer station and JR, so it is not a problem.
Facilities: Since the hotel has a bit of history, it is relatively dilapidated, but the facilities are sufficient, except for the relatively simple equipment in the room. Many parts of the old place are fading and peeling. After all, it has been some time since the last renovation.
Food: I booked a hotel room and two meals. Dinner and breakfast were all buffet style. If I chose the most basic set meal, there was no seafood provided. Most of them are Japanese food, the taste is good, and the selection is normal. The surprising thing is that each restaurant provides a small stove and steamer, which can cook and steam food by yourself, but there are not many choices, and there is only a small candle provided for heating. Slow and will be used up quickly, no additional service is provided.
Service: First of all, the pick-up service is very considerate. Before departure, we had to take a direct bus from Fukuoka Airport to Ureshino, which only took 45 minutes. I was already worried that I would not be able to catch the bus, which would affect the check-in time, and I was also worried that I would not be able to catch the last pick-up service (8pm). I kept in contact with the hotel and provided suggestions and solutions, which was very thoughtful. I also emailed the hotel about my situation on the way to the bus, and the hotel immediately reminded me of the correct drop-off point and asked the pick-up and drop-off staff to pick me up at that location (because I had chosen another location to reserve the pick-up service at the beginning). It was already dark after getting off the bus, but the staff kept waiting and came up to confirm that they were considerate.
The counter staff are also considerate and courteous; but the restaurant staff are a little weak in comparison. They don't speak English. I understand it very well, but it seems that the stove for cooking food needs a lighter. It is not easy to find a lighter. When I asked the staff to get it, I didn't want to ignore it. Maybe it's because it's too busy, after all, there are only 2-3 employees. Instead, it is often the Japanese travelers next to me who remind me.
Overall: There is a hotel in Ureshino that provides one bed and two meals. This one is considered to be more cost-effective. Other hotels are more expensive and may have higher quality, but this one is worth the price, location and shuttle service. Finally, the yukata in the hotel is the cutest and most beautiful I have ever used in different places in Japan, which made me fall in love with yukata.
