Hotels With Spa in Saga Prefecture, Japan

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. ♨️

My 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.

Would 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.

Nice hotel with old world charm and service. Though the room is a bit dated, the furniture is classic, beautiful and very clean. The outdoor onsen is calming and well designed. Too bad that the restaurant was fully booked and we didn’t have the opportunity to try their highly rated dinner.

Rooms are quite spacious for japan, smoking area available and parking was free of charge. No 7-Eleven or Lawson nearby, only a small supermarket - this hotel is only recommended if you have a car as otherwise everything is hard to reach.

We arrived a bit early this time, but the hotel insisted on an extra charge for early check-in. While the facilities are quite new, the layout isn't great. The sauna's showers are inconvenient, requiring an elevator ride to another floor. The staff's service attitude wasn't very good.

A traditional Japanese inn with a history of more than 100 years, full of atmosphere The courtyard is very exquisite, and each room has a different design. The service is attentive and the meals are exquisite There is also a pottery exhibition in the hotel. The handmade pottery is very soulful and the price is reasonable. If I have the chance, I hope to come back and stay a few more nights.

It is a quiet landscape that seems to be nestled in the forest, and the hotel on the hill is majestic, as if it boasts its age and experience. All the staff are friendly and friendly I didn't have a dinner reservation, but when I asked, they happily obliged and had a kaiseki meal in a room with my name written on it. I ate Japanese specialty food. All of the food was delicious and overflowing with class. The view of the river from the spacious tatami room is exquisite. The early morning buffet breakfast was also a delicacy among delicacies. All of the vegetables were carefully prepared, and the clear tofu soup, a local specialty, was also a delicacy. Of course, the fluffy white rice and miso soup were the best. There were a lot of things, but the liver and taste were the best. It was a ryokan hotelu that I wanted to go back to.

It felt like home, and I experienced the beauty of Ureshino's countryside and the luscious hot spring waters. After a nice evening bath, I enjoyed a cup of homemade coffee called Verynice. The tofu and beef hot pot in the morning was especially delicious. For transportation to and from the station and to watch the fireflies at night, I asked the front desk to book a taxi in advance, which was very efficient.

The environment is quiet and quiet, and you can relax from the sea view. The bamboo crab is extremely fresh and delicious, which is the highlight of this trip! The waiter is friendly and kind, making people feel at home. There is a loan cut in the hall, which can enjoy the hot spring privately. It is highly recommended.
