2-Star Hotels in Saga Prefecture, Japan

"The hotel is incredibly close to the train station, making the location super convenient. There are also lots of restaurants nearby, plus all sorts of little shops right inside the station, which is really nice."

"This was my last trip, taken to celebrate my mother's birthday during Golden Week. This time, we stayed in a twin room with a two-meal plan (dinner and breakfast). Since the hotel is located on a mountain, there are no shops nearby. I recommend buying anything you need before you check in. The hotel itself was new, modern, and very clean. It spans three floors, from the first basement to the second floor. Some hallways are a bit narrow, but you don't really encounter many people, so it's not an issue. After checking in, we headed straight to the public bath. It had a modern design and featured two saunas. The semi-open-air bath was incredibly relaxing. I'm always amazed by the unique, silky smooth water quality of Takeo Onsen! Dinner was at 5:30 PM in the restaurant on the first floor. You can go in your yukata (room wear), but it didn't quite match the atmosphere of the place, though the dim lighting made it less noticeable. The vegetables at dinner were absolutely delicious, almost as impressive as the meat and fish – they truly felt like a main dish! I went to the onsen again that night, and while I really wanted to enjoy some manga in the relaxation area, sleepiness got the better of me, and I went straight to bed. I woke up in the morning, enjoyed another soak in the onsen, and then had breakfast at 9 AM. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, and it was the kind of food your body thanks you for in the morning! You can get refills on rice and miso soup. Check-out was at 10 AM. The water, beer, and non-alcoholic cocktails in the room's mini-fridge were all included, and you could even take them with you! We were sent off at the entrance, which was a lovely touch, and left feeling very content. Even for us, who don't have much sauna experience, it was a refreshing and rejuvenating trip in just one night."

"Wanting to watch the Yobuko Fireworks Festival right from our room, I booked as soon as the dates were announced. We arrived at the guesthouse just past 3 PM. A lovely young girl dressed in a Halloween costume welcomed us, and the cozy, homely atmosphere immediately put us at ease. The fireworks were launched right in front of our room—it was the ultimate spot and an incredible setting. Thank you so much to the owner for such an affordable stay."

"The hotel was a seven or eight-minute walk from Saga Station, following the navigation. The hotel was better than expected, very clean, and the rooms were spacious. We booked a 40-square-meter tatami room, which was perfectly accommodating for two adults and two children. Snacks were provided upon check-in, and toiletries were available for self-service at the front desk, all from Pola. We also tried local Saga beef and live octopus, but reservations are required. While there's not much to see in Saga itself, we did take the JR train to Kamita and visited the ceramics town there, where we bought some famous Arita ware. I highly recommend Nakayama Towado; each piece on display is exquisite!"

"It was really clean and nice just after it was new! When you get out of Takeo Onsen Station, you can see it right on the left! The location was crazy ~ The room and the large bath were so clean and above all, there were few people, so it was so good !! The large bath was almost chartered ㅋㅋㅋ! Breakfast was buffet and the curry was especially delicious. In the evening, there was a restaurant in the hotel, where they sold kaiseki or set meals!! It looks delicious when I saw someone else post it in Google reviews! The price was about 2500 yen !! I'm going to stay here again if I come to Takeo again in the wall! I highly recommend it to those who travel alone!!"

"Very clean, very close to the JR station, but the space is large and comfortable, the bed is also large"

"I loved our stay! Ladies that run the ryokan are the most beautiful souls! They will look after you and make sure you feel well. You need to take into consideration it’s an older kind of ryokan, has nothing to do with modern places but it’s spacious, it’s in the nature, it’s perfectly clean and has great onsen after which you’ll feel super rested. The dinner is quite expensive but totally worth it! We had amazing experience! Breakfast is a feast! Everything was so lovely. I hope I will be able to go back."

"Hotel R9 The Yard Unique concept, modified from currency containers, provides completely independent private space, soundproofed and does not interfere with neighbors. The room is equipped with a massage chair and microwave, and free frozen meals are included in the stay, which is intimate and convenient. Although the location is mostly located next to the suburban mainline, it is more suitable for self-driving passengers, but there is free parking, the overall clean and comfortable, the CP value is very high, it is a very special and great accommodation experience!"

"This hotel is the same group as Yoshida House on the previous street. I stayed at Yoshida House Hot Spring Hotel the night before. The second night I stayed at this soup hotel. There was no staff in this soup hotel. It was fully self-service. I encountered difficulties when I checked in. I couldn't enter the hotel and needed to ring the doorbell. Contact the staff of Yoshida House and communicate in general English. After he opened me to the hotel from a distance, I couldn't check-in procedures by myself due to the name problem. I needed to wait for the staff to come over to help. Because the distance from Yoshida House is very close, the staff will come to help in a few minutes. Even if you encounter some difficulties when you check in, the experience in this hotel is good, the room is large, the hotel has free parking, the hot spring water output is slightly slower than Yoshida House, breakfast is to fall downstairs to get a box of sandwiches and a can of drinks, If you want to soak in the private hot springs in the room at a cheap price, you can live in this room, but don't want staff to serve you"
