Hot Springs Hotels in Saga Prefecture, Japan

I've always wanted to soak in a seaside hot spring, and I'm super satisfied. Get off at JR Hizen-Oura Station and take the hotel shuttle bus. The men's and women's open-air hot springs are interchangeable, but they are both located at a great location with a view of the sea. There is also a sea torii gate nearby. The bus leaves every hour. The last bus is around 17:00, so be sure to check the time.

The hotel lobby is decorated with many vintage European items, which are exquisite. The lobby music is romantic. The rooms are spacious and the air conditioning is comfortable. The hot spring bath leaves the skin smooth and the mind refreshed. Although the breakfast selection is limited, the quality is better than many five-star hotels.

The hot spring water was wonderfully silky smooth, and the bathhouse wasn't too crowded, making for a very comfortable and relaxing experience. The outdoor onsen was particularly fantastic. The dinner, part of the half-board plan, wasn't very extensive, and it was a bit disappointing not to be served Saga beef, especially being in Saga Prefecture. However, the breakfast quality was excellent.

The hotel's location is super convenient, right across from the South Exit of JR Takeo-Onsen Station! Check-in is after 3 PM, and the staff are very welcoming. There's a main building and an annex, and you use your room key card to access your room. At the front desk, you can find free toothbrushes, coffee, bath towels, and wooden combs. It's a shame they don't offer small packets of skincare products. Also, drinking water isn't provided in the room! There isn't a convenience store right outside the hotel, but there's a small supermarket inside the JR station. Breakfast is a simple buffet with both Japanese and Western options; the milk is delicious! The annex on the 8th floor has a public bath and a laundry room, and the rooms are quite spacious. You can borrow bicycles from the front desk to get around. Overall, it's a great stay!

Hotel is old. Hotel floor corridors are dim. Fulton are too thin. It is the first onsen hotel did not supply body location in the public bath. Room amenities such as facial products, utensils, coffee are not place in the lobby. They are in the front office counter drawer. You have to ask to get it. But there are special shops inside the hotel. That is amazing. Free welcome green tea for each guest. Morning 9:00-10:00 public bath stop operate for cleaning.

Takeo City, located in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu, doesn't have a huge number of places to visit, but it's enough for a day trip. This hotel is only a 7-minute drive from the city center. Located on a hilltop, it appears to be a renovated old hotel, but the design is quite modern and minimalist. The rooms are spacious, and the onsen (hot spring) and sauna are excellent. Be sure to book breakfast in advance when booking this hotel; the Japanese breakfast is very plentiful and I still enjoy it. A few minutes down the slope from the hotel is OND Park, a large campsite that hides an award-winning OND sauna. While OND Hotel guests don't get free access to the sauna, you can purchase a one-day pass to try it out.

I stayed in several rooms with friends, and they were all satisfied. We booked the hotel three months in advance and enjoyed a great stay at a great price. The hot spring facilities were also excellent, perfect for recovering from fatigue.

Location: it was a 15 minutes walk from the JR station and when we left the hotel, they had a free shuttle service. The hotel is next to the famous gate and a tofu ice cream dessert place which was great.  Food: dinner and breakfast inclusive hotel room, both were fantastic  Rooms: clean and big  Onsen: it was a bit small but did have an outdoor onsen, there was no water dispenser so cannot hydrate afterwards

A large ginkgo tree is planted outside the room to enhance the view outside the window. It may be a bit old, but very neat. Staff service attitude is very good, also thank the desk sister special car pick up and drop off luggage. One-stop-two-dining food is of high standard, Japanese style, but the portion is quite large. There are also small gifts at checkout, showing thoughtfulness, worth a stay.

The hotel is not far from the station and has a long history. The service staff are very enthusiastic. I booked a one-night stay with two meals. The food was very delicious. The outdoor hot spring environment is very good and the water is very good and clean.
