금석원역 × 자체 온천 원천 보유 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

On the third day of my solo trip from Tokyo to Saga, I stayed at Shunkeiya in Takeo Onsen. It is located right next to the Romon Gate, and the building is very clean and beautiful. They prepared a 14-tatami corner Room for me even though I was traveling alone, and dinner served in the Room was wonderfully varied and absolutely delicious. The attendant assigned to my Room was also excellent, and the free-flowing natural hot spring water was superb. Even though I was on my own, they provided Shuttle Service to the station—an Accommodation where everything was thoughtfully taken care of. I love traveling and have stayed in many places, but considering how reasonably priced it is, I was satisfied with everything here. If it were in the Kanto area, I could visit often—it's a shame it’s not. Next time, I would definitely like to come again with my wife. This first solo trip became a truly wonderful memory for me.

I chose the BBQ option for the trailer house, and at check-in I was told everything was in the refrigerator. I looked everywhere for the rice but couldn’t find it, so I assumed it wasn’t included and went ahead with the BBQ. When I called the front desk at night, they asked if I wanted to purchase rice, so I thought again that it wasn’t included. However, at checkout we were given rice, and we also received dog treats when we asked. It might be better to place the rice and dog treats in the refrigerator as well. There was some confusion about the rice, but we had a great time overall. The manager was very cute.

I had reserved the deluxe kaiseki dinner, and it truly was luxurious—so much that I couldn’t finish it. I declined the final rice and clear soup because I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat them. The Onsen water quality was excellent and left my skin feeling silky smooth. There were several baths, and I really enjoyed them. The Ryokan staff were also very courteous and attentive. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.
