이마리역 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I stayed here during my trip. I really appreciated being able to use the parking lot freely even with a motorcycle (some Accommodations make this difficult). The in-house Facilities were clean and more than adequate. The bed was very comfortable, and it helped me recover from travel fatigue. I booked a Plan with breakfast, and it was excellent value for money—I was very satisfied. I’d like to stay here again.

We stayed for two nights. The Onsen, meals, transportation access, and the surrounding environment were all excellent. If I had to mention one downside, our room was on a smoking floor, and I would have appreciated an air purifier even in the hallway. The cigarette smell was so strong that it clung to our towels and even new clothes. It really made me feel that next time I should choose a non-smoking room. That said, the meals and Onsen were outstanding, and the value for money was very good.

I’ve stayed here several times. Some parts of the room and facilities feel a bit dated, but I had no issues at all. It’s in a convenient location for sightseeing, and my favorite ramen shop, Chikurin Honten, is about a 10-minute drive away. There’s also an eel restaurant within walking distance. The Hotel has parking both in front and at the back, so you should be able to park without trouble. I feel it offers good value for the price. Many of the Hotel staff are wonderful, so I recommend it. I also heard that a new Hotel will open near the station around the end of 2026—I’m hoping to stay there too (laugh).

I had a Multiple Night Stay. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day, so I was able to stay comfortably. When a group came in, the staff asked if I could shift my breakfast time, and they also made announcements and posted notices so we wouldn’t overlap, which allowed me to enjoy breakfast at a relaxed pace. However, one thing: breakfast was buffet-style, but I didn’t realize drinks were available until the last day—after I had finished eating—when I heard staff informing other guests. That part was a little disappointing. There wasn’t much noise, and parking was easy as well. Personally, I would like to stay at AZ again if I have the chance.

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.

This time, it was a relaxing trip with our dog Wanko as a couple in our 60s. We were very satisfied with the meals. It was a little disappointing that the all-inclusive plan was only available until 6:00 PM. The Onsen was wonderful, and we especially enjoyed the sauna bath.

I chose the BBQ option for the trailer house, and at check-in I was told that 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, “Would you like 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. The situation with the rice was a bit confusing, but we had a great time overall. The manager was very cute.

The front desk staff were kind and provided thoughtful hospitality. The Room and bath were clean, making it a comfortable space to relax. The amenities were well stocked, and we especially appreciated having even a towel for washing. Our children were very satisfied as well.

Since there is only one closet in the Room, it is fine in summer, but it may be a bit inconvenient during seasons when you have more outerwear.
