YOCOZO HOTEL & RESORT

This three-room hotel felt wonderfully cozy thanks to the warm hospitality of the husband and wife hosts. For dinner, since the two of us prefer different dishes—one seafood and one meat—they kindly prepared separate courses for each of us. Both were generous and satisfying, and we left completely full. The squid was excellent, and the live horse mackerel sashimi was especially delicious. It seems guests come from all over Japan, but we would love to visit again even though we live nearby.

After arriving at the Accommodation, we borrowed an electric scooter and took a stroll along the seaside. Back in the Room, we worked up a sweat in the wood-burning stove sauna and felt refreshed, then enjoyed ice cream in the lounge while playing Pac-Man (lol).For dinner, we savored dishes featuring superb live squid and Saga beef with Tiger Beer, then went to sleep in a spacious bed while gazing out at the sea.Breakfast was also excellent—the rice was sweet and delicious, paired with local specialties like mirin-dried fish and squid shumai that you can only find here.After that, we took a cruise ship around Kabeshima Island.In the calm summer Genkai Sea, on the far side of Kabeshima we saw columnar joints like natural stone walls, listened to stories about islands near and far, and felt the wind as the boat sped along.We truly enjoyed an exceptionally special time.There are still so many great points I can’t even write them all—this all-inclusive Plan is simply amazing.On our way back they drove us to Karatsu-Nishi Station, making it easy to get to Hakata as well; it’s surprisingly accessible even without a car.This is an Accommodation I’ll keep remembering fondly long after returning home.
