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 has been open for over a hundred years, and although the facilities are a bit old, they are still kept spotless. The elderly lady was very welcoming; seeing that we were checking in on a hot day, she quickly brought us bottled ice water. The hotel also has onsen (hot spring baths), with separate baths for men and women. One highlight is that you can choose an elegant cup to enjoy your tea or coffee for free. Another highlight is that you can take photos with the antique objects. A third highlight is that they offer a light breakfast of bread, juice, and salad in the morning. After enjoying the evening activities, it's less than 200 meters from the entrance of the Takeo Onsen building, making it a great accommodation option.

We drove 1.5 hours from Hakata to this hotel, quick far away. The osen hotel is pretty large and have public and private osen bath to choose from. Originally we booked the room with hot spring both but have been checked into a different room with a separate bath tub only. The hotel insisted this is the same room type and need to charge additional charge to upgrade to the better room that can have a separate hot spring bath. I called Trip.com and they admitted that there is some confusion on the room type and has agreed to pay for the extra charge to upgrade to the better room. So finally we paid the upgrade charge and moved to the better room with the hot spring bath. So overall it was still a very good experience. Thanks for Trip.com’s commitment to get the customer a better experience.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The front desk staff weren't very proactive; they didn't greet guests coming or going. The room was average, but the bathroom threshold was exceptionally high, and I almost tripped every time I entered or exited. Let me especially talk about the large public bath—the facilities are terrible! The dry changing area is tiny, so small that three people changing at once felt cramped. They also don't provide common amenities for women like hair ties or elastic bands. The open-air hot spring area has no thermometer, is very small, and there was a noticeable oil film and debris floating on the water. I feel the hygiene definitely needs improvement.

Highly recommended, you must stay here once. There is a shuttle service to and from the JR station. The waitresses are very professional, worthy of the grade of a hot spring resort hotel. The hotel's public space is amazing. It should have been specially designed by a designer. It is very novel and smart. Every corner is like a work of art. The seats, decorations, sofas, and shops are all modern, but also have Japanese characteristics. You must go to the bar for a drink at night. It is a great value. This hotel is relatively large and divided into several areas. There should be more private and high-end guest rooms. However, the interior of the room and the large bath are average. So you must experience the public space well.

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.

The buffet of the meal is delicious. The hot spring is also large. The first cospa is good at Ureshino Onsen. There is a souvenir shop, and you can buy special products such as Ureshino tea, and if you buy more than 5400 yen, you can deliver it for free.

It is said that it was a hotel where the emperor had stayed before, so I chose Shunkeiya. In fact, there are not many hotels to choose from in Takeo Onsen Street. The hotel rooms are quite modern and the bathroom toilets flush automatically. The dinner is quite sumptuous, and the breakfast is a decent Japanese breakfast. The hot springs are pretty average, one indoor and one outdoor. Half of the shops on Takeo Onsen Street are open and half are closed, which is a bit depressed. The hotel is about one kilometer away from Takeo Onsen Station. Call the hotel and they will pick you up from the station.

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.
