Hotels With Pool in Saga Prefecture, Japan

The ocean view bathtub room was so nice, and the private open-air bath was even better. I couldn't use the large bath because I missed the time check, but that's a shame. The staff were also very kind. However, if your purpose is to tour Karatsu, not just spend a leisurely trip at your accommodation or walking around the town, it's a bit far from the tourist attractions, so please think carefully about your schedule.

I recommend staying in the East Wing; it's newer. There are so many activities available, remember to bring your swimsuit! On the 8th floor, there's an open-air hot spring pool. On the 2nd floor, the relaxation area has four saunas; follow the marked order and timings for a full 26-minute session. At 3 PM, there's a complimentary welcome cake in the hotel lobby. Both the included dinner and breakfast are buffet-style and the food was plentiful and delicious.

Anyway, the hot spring water was amazing! The temperature wasn't too high, so I was impressed by the thick, viscous quality of the spring, which meant I didn't get a hot spring rash even when I soaked for a long time. It's truly one of Japan's top three skin-beautifying hot springs, and it left my skin feeling silky smooth. The facility was also very well-maintained, so it was a pleasant experience. For the price, including a hot spring and two meals included, I think it's great value for money. There were plenty of meals and children's options, so I think families would feel comfortable staying here. There were no issues with the common areas and functionality of the facilities, but I think it's about time to renovate the bathrooms in the individual guest rooms. The overall atmosphere was that of a good, old-fashioned, affordable inn, and it was nice to be able to relax and enjoy the table tennis and manga corners.

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!

The hotel's location is a bit out of the way, but it definitely doesn't affect the overall experience. I absolutely loved the onsen baths here; there are multiple indoor and outdoor baths with various temperatures. I booked a tatami room for three nights almost a month in advance. The hotel is very clean, and towels and yukatas are changed daily. The breakfast set menu is simple. There's a free shuttle bus at Saga Station exit, with temporary parking next to the Comfort Hotel. See the picture for the specific times; it's very convenient for getting around.
