The Ryokan Akebono is an ideal spot for travelers wanting to discover the city. Visitors to Saga City will find that the Ryokan Akebono is a fantastic accommodation choice. Boasting a convenient location, the hotel is just 2km from Saga Station and 13km from Saga International Airport. Famous local attractions Saga Balloon Museum, Sage Prefectural Government Observation Deck and Hatomoriinari Shrine, can all be reached with a short walk. In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. According to our guests, this hotel provides a very high level of service.
"It is an old house with history. It is very artistically decorated and filled with many paintings and calligraphy. The location is some distance from Saga Station, and a taxi from the JR station costs about 1,000 yen. If you walk, it takes about 20 minutes and you will pass through China Town. There are many restaurants and coffee shops on the road.
Diagonally across from the hotel is Tamaya (a long-established department store in Saga), but this road is extremely quiet and the Japanese-style rooms have a very nice mood. But the area is really too small. After making the bed at night, there is basically no place to stand.
On the first day of check-in, the hotel may have many guests, but something ”bad” happened. First, the toilet in the bathroom was not wiped clean. The waiter came to apologize sincerely and moved us to another room. Then we went downstairs for dinner, but when we came up, they should have made the bed while we were dining, but maybe there was not enough service staff. , the bed was not made.
But fortunately they were all resolved in time. The proprietress of the hotel is very elegant. There is a service staff at the front desk who is very good in Chinese, Japanese and English. There is no problem in communication. We stayed for two consecutive days, and they specially prepared different contents for dinner so as not to eat the same thing two days. This is very thoughtful.
If you come to Saga and want to try a quiet family hotel, but don’t have time to go to the mountains in the countryside, then this one is highly recommended."
