A spectacular Accommodation with stunning views of the Ariake Sea from the open-air bath, where you can savor exquisite Takezaki crab cuisine.

Spectacular ocean views. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the open-air bath on the 7th-floor rooftop with breathtaking views of the Ariake Sea. For dinner, savor our exquisite Takezaki crab dishes, known for their rich flavor.

  • A long-awaited trip with my wife. While choosing the Nagasaki area, we found and made a Reservation at Kani Goten, which serves her favorite crab. Just as we hoped, the Takezaki crab was outstanding, and every other dish was delicious—we were completely satisfied. Above all, we were deeply touched to receive a warm handwritten message board with photos from the staff. The Room was thoughtfully designed in both interior and Facility, making our stay very comfortable. We would love to stay again.

  • It felt as if we were embraced by the Ariake Sea. I was truly moved to be able to see such a quiet and beautiful sea. The staff (especially those at the restaurant) were also wonderful and treated us with great care. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals as well, including fresh sashimi and crab delivered by local fishermen. But there was something more than that. I felt I could sense something you would never experience in city life, surrounded by material things. When I visit Saga again, I would definitely like to stay here. Thank you very much.

Notice from the Accommodation

  • Exterior

    In 2026, a stink bug outbreak advisory was issued in Saga Prefecture.

    A stink bug outbreak advisory was issued in Saga Prefecture this March, and depending on the area, stink bugs are still occurring at 20–30 times the usual level.
    Other summer insects also tend to be most prevalent around May–June and from September to mid-October each year.

    As our Accommodation is surrounded by nature, we take preventive measures such as applying insecticides and repellents; however, small insects and stink bugs may be attracted at night.

    If you are sensitive to flying insects or stink bugs, please consider staying outside these peak periods.
    Thank you for your kind understanding.

  • Sauna

    Spectacular Views: Sauna with an Ocean View

    Opened in 2022, the sauna and hot-spring Facility “New Ariake Sea Bath” invites you to a new kind of sauna experience.

    Before you lie the Ariake Sea and Mt. Unzen-Fugendake.
    With nature’s dramatic dynamism unfolding right in front of you,
    enjoy a moment of true “totonoi” that you’ll want to capture and remember, second by second.

    The 2F Gravity Sauna features the METOS sauna heater “IKI.”
    Craftsmen hand-carve spruce wood aged over 100 years,
    creating a sauna room where you can feel the warmth and softness of natural timber.
    The 1F Grid Sauna is equipped with METOS’s low-temperature sauna heater “AINO,” introduced in Japan for the first time.
    Though it is low-temperature, self löyly allows you to fill the room with invigorating heat.
    Recommended for guests who want to enjoy a longer, gentler sauna session.

    You can also spend post-bath time at the on-site “Recovery Lounge,”
    a quiet pause within busy everyday life,
    where you can reconnect with your true self—just as you are.

    With our [New Sauna Plan],
    we also offer our first original sauna item, a “sauna hat,” as one of the special perks.
    Available via Jalan and our official website.


    Day-use bathing is also available via our official website or by phone.
    (Reservation required / each slot is 2.5 hours,
    and includes access to enjoy the saunas at the hot-spring Facility “Ariake Sea Bath.”)
