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.

The room is spacious and very comfortable. The hotel offers an afternoon lounge and an evening lounge, making it excellent value for money. The hot spring facilities are also quite large, and generally not crowded as there aren't too many guests. It's very close to the beach and a pine forest. There's also a convenient store nearby. Karatsu is a quiet little town, perfect for unwinding.

高達先生Ureshino Onsen ♨️ They say your skin feels amazing after a soak, and it truly lives up to its reputation! I'd definitely come back again. This onsen hotel included breakfast and dinner with the booking. We stayed in a two-story villa, which is a bit further from the main building, about a few minutes' walk. If you don't feel like walking, the hotel offers a shuttle service, so the service is excellent. Check-in was naturally quick. The main building has an outdoor bath and various other baths, but since they're not that big, it can be hard to get a spot at night. Our villa had a private onsen, so we could take our time soaking in the room. The kaiseki meals for both breakfast and dinner were also quite good. I'd recommend booking it – we really enjoyed it!

Guest UserThe staff were incredibly attentive and made our stay very pleasant. The room was clean and had a calming atmosphere, allowing us to relax completely.
We also loved being able to try various types of Ureshino tea, which was a real treat for tea lovers. It was a wonderful experience!
Both the staff's service and the cleanliness of the room were excellent. This is definitely a place we'd love to visit again.

Transportation is a bit inconvenient, and Google Maps has some problems. To summarize: Take JR from Hakata Station to Takeo Onsen, then take the local bus to Ureshino Onsen Bus Stop (Google Navigation takes me to the Hot Springs Retreat Center Station, but I actually got off three stops earlier, so I walked for nearly an hour), and then walk for 5 minutes.
Facilities: The room is very clean, and you can make a private bath for free, with someone waiting to lead you.
Service: When I arrived, the waiter already knew my name and came out to greet me. I experienced very warm service during my stay.
There are few people in the town, and there is basically no information on Dianping, but the rare thing is the quietness. You can go to the surrounding Ureshino Park for a walk and enjoy the tranquility.

A great hotel with only 16 rooms. We booked 2 rooms, one with an outdoor hot spring facing the sea, and one with a bathtub. We booked a one-night stay with two nights. Dinner included large shrimps with bamboo crabs, especially the crab roe rice, which was very special.
The hotel facilities are also good, the rooms are large, and there are rest areas.
The only drawback is the transportation, there is no public transportation. We drove by ourselves, and the hotel could also pick us up at the nearest station on the same day.

Gordon Tan Kee KeongNicely 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!

wzh9844It's a bit far from JR Ureshino Onsen Station, so I'd recommend taking the bus. You can choose your own yukata on the first floor, and the hotel's public bath is on the 10th floor, which was pretty good. Overall, the value for money is decent. Ureshino Onsen's specialty is tofu, and it's quite delicious.

The property is great with huge hotel rooms and the Onsen location good though need to a fly stairs to go there. It has got a beautiful Mountain View and river. The outdoor pool is best so far with cold water to wash up. Steamer provided is good. However the only setback is the entrance to the lobby area is not so convenient guests need to take a flight of stairs to go up. And no proper signage to indicate 2nd floor is lobby, only stated Bar and Restaurant.

청솔모This is my third time in Ureshino. I stayed at a different ryokan in Kaki, and this one was great value for the price. We booked a room with breakfast included but no dinner, and everyone in my group was very satisfied. The staff were friendly, and the room was clean for the price. The only downsides were that the private bath was a bit expensive and the tatami mats felt a bit old. However, the hot spring water is truly Ureshino quality; it is the best. The surrounding environment is also wonderful for a walk. There is a Totorogi park, so I highly recommend it if you want a relaxing trip. However, food options are somewhat lacking. Since the shops are small, they fill up quickly. Reservations are a must, haha.
