I made a Reservation just two days in advance, and the property was very clean with a calm atmosphere, so I had a comfortable stay. Since it was a one-night stay with No Meals Included, I didn’t use anything other than the Room. I didn’t have much interaction with the staff, but they greeted me politely when I went out, and their bright, friendly manner was very pleasant. The Room was spotless and well stocked with amenities, and I was able to relax quietly. The area is rural and there aren’t any convenience stores nearby, but there are small shops, an Onsen Facility, and restaurants just a short walk away, so even with children we were able to enjoy ourselves 충분に楽しむことができました。 I also got to enjoy Saga’s beautiful nature and cherry blossoms. With great weather as well, it turned into a wonderful trip.

During my Kyushu trip in mid-June, I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay (2 nights) in the “Chikurintei—Panoramic Open-Air Bath (Japanese-Western Room)” nestled within Mifuneyama Rakuen’s vast grounds. I stayed in the “Yamazakura” Room, which offered views of Mt. Mifune from the corridor and garden, and even had a private gate with direct access to Mifuneyama Rakuen. The open-air bath is a standing-style bath set among trees. It creates a unique floating sensation, and because the water pressure is applied evenly over the whole body, I felt less fatigue afterward. Being able to enjoy the garden and sky while standing also adds to the wonderful sense of openness. The Onsen water is clear and colorless—an alkaline simple spring—with an exceptionally gentle feel on the skin, so I never tired of soaking. The indoor bath is heated groundwater, but I also enjoyed it: the hinoki tub was very comfortable, and it didn’t take long to fill. What stood out most was the outstanding quality of dinner. The kaiseki course featuring seasonal local ingredients such as Takezaki crab immediately draws you in with its dashi—clear yet deeply flavorful, beautifully balanced. Each dish reflected the season in both taste and presentation: refined and truly beautiful. Beyond ingredient quality alone, there was a confident simplicity backed by real skill. Even on a Multiple Night Stay, every meal was flawless at an exceptional level. Simply superb—thank you for such a feast. Another highlight was visiting teamLab’s art installations at the affiliated Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel on the same grounds (guests of Chikurintei can enter free). From the moment you step into the lobby, you’re struck by countless lamps evoking forest flowers and sunlight filtering through trees. The most breathtaking work was “Megalis in Ruins Bathhouse,” where digital projections of seasonal flowers illuminate massive stones rising throughout an abandoned public-bath space. When we visited, different scenes cycled continuously—twelve distinct visuals representing all months—and we became fully immersed for about an hour until they completed one full round late at night before closing. Also worth mentioning: the cold-brew coffee served in the lounge area was delicious—I refilled it many times and enjoyed it back in my Room as well. To everyone at “Oyado Chikurintei,” thank you sincerely for creating such a wonderful stay. I will absolutely return when I visit Takeo Onsen again.

This was my first stay. The Hotel lobby is small, but it features Takeo pottery and Arita ware created in collaboration with overseas designers. It’s a stylish, relaxing space, and we were welcomed with chilled Ureshino tea and a small sweet. The Room felt natural and calming. This Hotel is known for its sauna, and even though I’m not great with saunas, I was able to relax fully and felt completely refreshed (laughs). We stayed as a couple this time, but it’s also a soothing Accommodation where solo female travelers can feel safe staying alone. It has become one of the Hotels I’d love to stay at again.

The Onsen is the main highlight, and with a full range of comfortable amenities, I was able to enjoy a truly fulfilling day. After working up a sweat at the gym, I played a little table tennis and felt like a kid again. The sauna is spacious and made of wood, and there is also a mist sauna—I did five rounds in total. To finish, I relaxed in the shallow pool and took a break with a draft beer. The large public bath left me feeling refreshed.

Considering the price range, I was very satisfied. The butler’s thoughtful, casual check-ins were wonderful. If there is one area for improvement, it would be the restroom—it really should be a private room. I will visit again.

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!

This was my first stay here. The new building is a bit far from the baths, but it was very clean and comfortable. The bath left my skin feeling smooth, and the Onsen was excellent. The dining place I used offers set meals at reasonable, fair prices. The horse mackerel sashimi set meal was very fresh and delicious. It seems that both the Onsen and the dining place can be used by non-guests as well. Since the price doubles for two guests, I wish it were a bit more affordable. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to stay again.

Both the hospitality and the cuisine were calm and wonderful, and I was truly able to refresh. I will visit again.

Conveniently located in front of Takeo-Onsen Station, a Shinkansen transfer station, and easily accessible with hardly getting wet even in the rain. It was an affordable Hotel with excellent service—nothing to complain about. The breakfast had more variety than expected, was delicious, and very satisfying.

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 here when visiting Huis Ten Bosch. We found this place while looking for a Room that could accommodate our family of five together. The price was reasonable, and it was convenient because everything we needed was provided. There are no dining options within walking distance, but if you have a car, there is a convenience store nearby, so it wasn’t an issue. I also visited an Onsen (day-use bathing at another Accommodation) about five minutes away by car. Although the check-in process is unmanned, the support center was very kind and helpful. We would like to stay again if we have the opportunity.

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).

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 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.

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 in a Japanese-style room furnished with beds. While the Facility is old, it was kept very clean and I had a comfortable stay. The bathroom area combines the bath, toilet, and sink, but since the Onsen facilities are well equipped, it didn’t bother me as I used those instead. They play an antique music box in the entrance. You can also enjoy free coffee.

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.

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.

From the deck connected to the living room, enjoy a breathtaking view of Onigi's terraced rice fields, selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields. You’ll also be greeted by friendly goats right in front of the house. The deck features a traditional Goemon bath where you can soak while admiring the scenery. For dinner, gather around an irori (traditional sunken hearth) and enjoy a leisurely meal while chatting with the hosts. The dishes are made with local ingredients and enhanced by homemade seasonings like soy sauce koji and nuoc mam vinegar—everything is delicious, perfectly paired with drinks. After dinner, sleep under a mosquito net for a nostalgic Showa-era experience. In the morning, try cooking rice in a traditional kamado stove using freshly harvested rice from the terraced fields—it’s so flavorful on its own! Pair it with grilled fish (barracuda on this day), large-grain natto from Takachiho, roasted seaweed over an irori fire, or tamago kake gohan (rice topped with raw egg). You’ll find yourself reaching for seconds! This accommodation is perfect for families or couples and is also popular among international guests. For those who aren’t comfortable eating raw eggs at breakfast, you can request alternatives like tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet). We’d love to visit again as a family!

The Room is spacious and clean. I will stay again. I also had the meals, and they were delicious.
