How many places are there where a feudal lord’s residence still remains at the very heart of the town even today? Being able to stay as a guest in such an estate, and to take in the buildings and gardens—things that would have been impossible to see 100 years ago—to your heart’s content, made for a fascinatingly luxurious time where you can feel history and changing eras up close. It was an Accommodation experience unlike anything I had ever had before. The guest building was new and spotless, with drinks and amenities well provided, making it very comfortable to stay.

I stayed here with my elderly mother and aunt. During meals, the staff kindly explained everything in detail, and their service was excellent. At check-out, the front desk called a taxi for us, which was very helpful. I accidentally left something behind, but after confirming it, they promptly shipped it to me. It was a ring I truly cherished, so I was really grateful. Thank you very much. I would love to stay again.

We stayed with four people. Even with four beds lined up, the Room didn’t feel cramped and was comfortable. The Room was a bit dark, so we tried various ways to brighten it, but it seemed there weren’t enough light bulbs, and even at maximum brightness it still felt dim. We used the buffet for meals. The food was close to our seats, and both the selection and taste were excellent. The staff cleared our plates and checked that dishes weren’t running out, and everything—including the tables—was clean with no mess. We’d like to stay here again when we visit the amusement park.

We stayed during the May holiday period. On the way, we got caught in traffic jams many times and ended up arriving close to 7:30 p.m. Since we had booked a Plan with dinner included, I felt very sorry, but they welcomed us without showing any displeasure and even offered kind words about the traffic, which made us feel at ease and able to relax. In particular, the slightly older female staff member at reception and the young female staff member in the dining room were wonderfully considerate. We also enjoyed hearing lots of local stories (such as delicacies from the Ariake Sea and why there are no terrace seats in Yanagawa due to mosquitoes), making it a very enjoyable stay. Because we had been eating a lot every day during Golden Week, we chose a minimal Plan without eel, but both dinner and breakfast were delicious—so much so that we thought it might have been worth stretching ourselves to choose a more lavish Plan. The Room was also clean and very nice. The only disappointment was an older female staff member in the dining room at dinner. Even though there was still food left, she tried to clear our plates without asking; we stopped her, but she almost did it again right afterward. I nearly told her to stop it already, but held back because the young staff member mentioned above was so excellent. The only drawback is that there is a big difference in service quality among staff; if you happen to get an unlucky one, your impression may change.

I found this Accommodation by searching for the closest place to stay near the stadium to watch a Hawks farm team game. Just as the front desk staff told me, I was able to get there in a little under 15 minutes while taking a walk through Chikugo Regional Park. I enjoyed the baseball game as well as food and beer at the stadium, and on the way back I took my time strolling back. The large public bath on the rooftop had a great view, and I even enjoyed an early morning bath. It’s not an Onsen; they pump up groundwater and heat it, and it was a wonderful bath with pleasantly soft water. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal with plenty of dishes, and my husband even had seconds of rice. The aonori seaweed miso soup in particular was delicious. Also, the tea prepared in our Room was outstanding—this really is a famous tea region. I made cold-brew tea using chilled water from the water server, and it had such a beautiful green color with a pronounced natural sweetness—excellent. On our way out, we bought tea, aonori seaweed, and miso at the shop. The surroundings were very nice, and we were able to spend our time quietly. The price was reasonable, the staff were helpful, and I’d like to stay again.
