It's best. I don't want to be known to Koreans. Hot spring water to relieve skin disease and fantastic breakfast are also delicious kaiseki dishes. I really like it. 2nd visit

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.

We stopped overnight in Yanagawa on our road trip from Nagasaki to Fukuoka. As a recently new hotel we decided on New Gaea. Not that new really as it was just a makeover with the old facade still visible when you open the sliding windows to see the exisiting old walls. Check-in was OK BUT my complain (as I think others would too) is that there is no driveway or any place for our vehicle to stop in front of the hotel to drop our luggage or to check-in before heading to the carpark which was some 5-minutes walk away beyond the railroad crossing. So we had to borrow the opposite neighbor's driveway to unload/load our luggage. Hotel has no onsite carpark facility, except when we were at the lounge for drinks that we noticed a small parking area, probably for staff behind the building. There's a lift in the hotel, free welcome drinks in the evening with bubbly after 9pm till 11pm and the rooms were quiet. We were in a 3-bedder and pretty comfortable in size with our luggage opened. Good WiFi coverage, clean room with full amenities. In the morning after checking-out we left our luggage with the front desk to explore Yanagawa. Good location as the canal is just behind and follow either way one will reach the shrines and the castle moat. Train station is nearby on one end of the hotel and a mall with supermarket is within 10-minutes walking.

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.

Central easy walk to great restaurants and quenelles and sightseeing highlights of Yanagawa. Modern reception with ultra friendly staff who made us feel most welcome even with the language barrier. Kuniko-San was on reception when we checked in and served us breakfast each day. She was so helpful, engaging and incredibly welcoming. Traditional Japanese Breakfast was included in our tariff and changed each morning, delicious, pickled vegetables, grilled fish, rice with Tsukudani, miso , marinated octopus with vegetables, tamago & green tea & filter coffee. The room was traditional Japanese large and spacious 10 tatami with extra futons for increased cushion. The best part was the view from the room overlooking a lovely traditional Japanese garden, very private, and shielded from the bright morning sun by surrounding trees. I highly recommend this lovely hotel for an authentic Japanese experience

This is a rustic home with friendly owner, breakfast spread is plenty. Take note it's a shared toilet and shower.

요즘 흔해 빠진 체인점같은 호텔말고 일본의 전통 향을 느낄 수 있는 료칸을 원했는데, 추구했던 료칸이었어요. 처음에 후기에 료칸사장님께서 영어가 안되신다는 글을 보고 조금 걱정했는데 문제없이 소통하였어요. 대부분 호텔이 굉장히 좁았는데 방이 굉장히 넓었으며, 항상 드라마나 만화에서만 보던 저의 로망을 이룬것같아 개인적으로는 일본을 몇번 왔다갔다하는 사람으로써는 제일 만족했던 숙소였습니다. 청결은 말할 것도 없고요. 또, 조식으로 먹었던 일본느낌의 음식이 아직도 머리속에 맴돕니다. 다음에 방문했을때는 저녁도 먹어보고싶어요!♡

It was Dadam’s room and it was comfortable and nice. The room was clean and there was a small bathroom so it was nice and easy to wash. I didn't eat dinner but only breakfast, but the quality was so good that I think it would be good to have dinner as well. I plan to visit the port again next time.

Just a few minute walk from the station. Has a few convenient stores and restaurant's near by.. Staff very friendly and helpful. They offer a breakfast from 0700-0930. Mainly Japanese style, but they do serve scramble eggs and sausage and rolls. I enjoyed my stay there.
