금석원역 × 가을의 미각을 즐기는 숙소시설・설비의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

It’s rare to enjoy this level of cuisine, hot springs, and service at this price, and the garden is also wonderful. The facilities are impeccably clean. It stands out even among Japan’s luxury ryokan.

The room, with its white-based design and high ceiling, felt clean and relaxing with heated wooden flooring. The semi-open-air bath in the room was spacious, filled with plenty of silky smooth water. Having a water dispenser was also very convenient. Both dinner and breakfast were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making the experience truly delightful. The staff showed great care and attention to my elderly mother, allowing us to enjoy our stay with peace of mind. Thank you very much!

We stayed on a plan with meals included. Both breakfast and dinner were very delicious. The free drinks and complimentary breakfast items were also available, making the offerings very satisfying. The in-room bath was a hot spring, so we were able to relax in it many times. We were also comforted by the staff’s thoughtful, unobtrusive service.

We chose this Accommodation for our wedding anniversary, hoping for somewhere a little special this year. My husband and I are usually busy with our own schedules, and we’re often surprised by how little time we have to talk at home, but that day we ended up reminiscing about old memories the whole time (laugh). The staff were considerate and didn’t speak to us more than necessary, which made us feel they truly valued our time together. In the morning, we woke up early for a short walk and then returned to the Accommodation, and it was nice to head to breakfast without rushing. It became a wonderful anniversary memory.

We stayed as a couple at this gourmet inn I had long been curious about, also to celebrate a special occasion. As reputed, the standard of the cuisine was outstanding—not only delicious, but also beautifully presented, with wonderful tableware. We thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast and were very satisfied. We would love to return in another season to try a different menu. We were also grateful for the celebratory sekihan (red rice), which was delicious. The two types of open-air baths in our room each had their own distinct atmosphere, and we were able to fully enjoy Takeo Onsen. The private bath offered yet another ambiance as well. It was also nice that we could use them without any crowds. Throughout our stay—from check-in, to dining service, to check-out—we were looked after by a dedicated attendant, who was truly excellent. In every situation, the guidance and explanations were clear and perfectly balanced, with a comfortable sense of distance. Even when we asked questions unrelated to the inn about our plans for the next day, they kindly checked and provided an answer with care; it really impressed us as befitting a long-established ryokan. It was very helpful. At check-out, everyone at the inn saw us off together, which made us want to return even more. We also had an opportunity to meet the owner and were glad we could personally thank him for the wonderful meal.

I stayed here on the first day of my Onsen tour in Saga Prefecture. Everything was perfect, including the baths and the meals. The bath water was unbelievably silky and milky white—an experience I’ve never had before. The food was delicious, as you’d expect from a property that also runs a Japanese restaurant! Next time, I’d like to book a Multiple Night Stay. It’s expensive at 100,000 yen per night for one person, though.
