Kiyama Station × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

This Hotel offers far more than a long history—its building, atmosphere, Rooms, dining, Onsen, and service are all maintained to an exceptionally high standard, making it a wonderfully relaxing place to stay. Although it was pouring rain outside and the weather was hot and humid, the indoor climate control—including in the Rooms—was kept at a very comfortable level, so we enjoyed a stress-free stay. Modern luxury Hotels are great too, but this stay helped us rediscover the unique charm of a renowned Ryokan.

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

As on my previous stay, both the breakfast and the room were excellent, and I had a very pleasant experience. I stayed here to attend a study session at a nearby facility, and I was able to get a good night’s sleep, which was great. I would be happy to stay again if I have the opportunity.

Although it was a semi-double, both the Room and the bed were spacious and very clean. It’s conveniently located close to the main road. If I have a chance to visit Miyazaki again, I’d definitely like to stay here!

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.

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.

It was great that check-in was available 24 hours a day.

It was a last-minute stay, and we chose to book again. Thank you very much.

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.

The room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. There were also convenience stores and drugstores nearby, which was very convenient. I would like to stay here 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.
