Kiyama Station × Highly-rated Hotel·Ryokan

The guest room, hospitality and service, Onsen, Facility, and meals—everything far exceeded my expectations, and I was amazed at how satisfied I was. The atmosphere of the bath and the water were especially wonderful; I wanted to stay in forever. The food was also outstanding, and my wife was delighted. We also enjoyed playing table tennis, and thanks to the light exercise and the Onsen, we slept soundly at night—better than at home. We will definitely return together. Thank you very much to everyone at the Accommodation.

Thank you as always for your consistent hospitality. We had another comfortable stay. We would love to stay again.

We arrived about an hour later than planned, around 11:00 PM, but the staff kindly guided us to the parking area and we were able to park at the back. The parking lot is a bit narrow, but I thought it might be easier to park if the grass were trimmed so you could back up a little more. Since we arrived late, we just needed a place to sleep, but we made a Reservation because we wanted a good breakfast. It was great that we could bake our own waffles—they were delicious! There weren’t many items, but it was satisfying overall. They also managed breakfast hours well to avoid crowding and gave us a tag with our preferred time. We had no trouble finding seats, and there was always food available, which was nice. It’s a Hotel I’d like to use again next time.

This was my first stay after a live concert in Fukuoka. Even though I checked in late, the front desk staff were very kind and helpful. The Facility felt a bit old, but considering the price, I thought it was reasonable. The best part was the free breakfast—the menu selection was extensive and I was very satisfied. If I have the chance, I would like to stay here again.

Since the event was in Kashima City, Saga, I chose Tosu Station for its convenient JR connections. I often stay at Route Inn Hotels. With the app installed, check-in is very quick and smooth. Recommended for those who frequently stay at Route Inn Hotels properties. However, anyone can go to any floor by elevator, which is a security concern. The bath turned out to be a small public bath rather than a large one—it was so small it made me laugh. That said, you can check how crowded it is on the TV screen, which is convenient. Breakfast offered such a wide selection that it was hard to decide what to choose.

The price is low, and it’s the same rate even on weekends and holidays. Breakfast is included at this price. I wouldn’t call it the best breakfast, but for what you pay, it’s more than acceptable with no complaints. Personally, there wasn’t an outlet near the pillow area, so it might have been difficult to lie in bed and use my phone while charging. The Room and shower room were thoroughly cleaned and very tidy. If the parking lot on the Hotel grounds is full, you’ll be directed to another parking lot about a 2–3 minute walk away. That could be inconvenient in the rain.

I stayed here to participate in the Saga Sakura Marathon. On the day, hotels in Saga City were expensive, so although it was a bit farther away, I chose to stay in Tosu. The bathroom could have been cleaned more thoroughly, but otherwise my stay was comfortable.

We stayed here for our child’s national tournament. I shared a twin Room with a friend for four nights. We did not request Room cleaning, but asked for trash collection and towel replacement. Only toothbrushes were provided in the Room. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hand soap, and body lotion were available. Other amenities were placed on the first floor for guests to pick up as needed. It didn’t feel like they had absolutely everything. Bottled water was provided each time as well—sometimes in a carton and sometimes in a can. There was a capsule coffee machine, with two capsules provided daily (one caffeinated and one decaf). Tea and black tea bags were also available. The Room was small, so we opened our suitcases on the bed. Each bed had its own reading light plus USB and USB-C charging ports, which were convenient at night. The bathroom area didn’t feel brand-new, but the Hotel overall felt clean. There is a Ministop convenience store about a 5-minute walk away. A drugstore was under construction right across the street.

The bath was very relaxing, and the staff were wonderful. It was a great time staying at a Ryokan that felt like the kind I used to stay at long ago. Thank you!

This is the Accommodation with lots of containers lined up along the roadside. It’s very convenient that you can park your car right in front of your container. Noise didn’t bother me. (I’ve stayed at other Accommodations in this group before, and depending on the location—near an airport or along a main road—some can be noisy.) The only inconvenience is that there aren’t any restaurants nearby. Since you have to drive to go out, you can’t really drink alcohol. There was a TRIAL next door, so it was convenient to buy various things.

This is a classic, old-fashioned Business Hotel, but the price is reasonable and the Room is clean, so there’s nothing to complain about. It was also great that it’s close to the station.

It’s very close to JR Futsukaichi Station, so you can walk there even with luggage such as a suitcase. A flashy sign that looks like an imitation of Thomas is the landmark. The staff member who assisted us at check-in was also a foreigner, and was very polite. The Room feels like a studio apartment. There is a shoe cabinet, a washing machine, and the toilet is separate; the bathroom is a unit bath. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The closet is also large. There’s a refrigerator, microwave, gas stove, and sink, so you can cook if you want. Detergent for both laundry and dishwashing is provided—please feel free to use it. The bed is a queen-size low bed. The mattress was as soft as a waterbed; if you like soft mattresses it’s great, but if you prefer something firmer it might hurt your lower back. There are mirrors in the bathroom or on the closet—two full-length mirrors—so when doing your hair or makeup (especially using a hair iron), there wasn’t an outlet nearby and there was no extension cord, which made it a bit difficult to style my hair right at the limit of the cord length. An outlet near the mirror would be convenient (though outlets near water may be unsafe). It’s inexpensive, clean, and convenient with a convenience store nearby. I’d like to stay again.

I wanted to visit Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and was looking for an affordable place to stay nearby when I found this Hotel. For the Onsen and breakfast, I used their affiliated property close by, Ivy Hotel Chikushino. I was able to enjoy Futsukaichi Onsen, and the meals were delicious as well. The front desk staff were very helpful, and thanks to their recommendation, I went to the izakaya “Gon (Hiko),” where the grilled yam on an iron plate and the grilled chicken on an iron plate were excellent—I was very satisfied. To get to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, you need to walk 21 minutes to Nishitetsu Futsukaichi Station, so if you have difficulty walking, it’s better to use a taxi or bus.

It was my first time staying here. My outdated navigation system made it difficult to find the place, and even when I got close, I passed by as it blended into the surroundings (laughs). It would be helpful if nearby landmarks were mentioned in the directions. The location is convenient with a sweets shop and a convenience store next door, and a diner across the street. There are several dining options within a few minutes' drive, which were also introduced in the room guide—very helpful! However, most places closed by 9 PM, so for those planning late dinners, it's better to eat earlier for peace of mind. The staff were all kind, and the breakfast bento was very delicious. As a suggestion, displaying the microwave wattage somewhere (on the unit or near where you pick up your bento) would make using it more convenient during breakfast. Unfortunately, on the night of my stay, strong winds caused loud noises from the tent-like roof above the entrance area. This woke me up several times during the night and affected my sleep quality. The bathroom is a unit bath; however, I visited Hanatateyama Onsen about 10 minutes away by car. The onsen had great water quality and provided a relaxing experience—I highly recommend it! The room was clean with parking available right in front of it. If given another opportunity in the future, I’d like to stay at hotels within this chain again!

The Onsen on the day I stayed was not crowded, so I was able to relax very much. The water temperature was not too hot, and I could soak at a leisurely pace. The Hotel feels a bit dated, but nothing bothered me. I would like to stay again.
