Wataya Besso

The atmosphere is very good. It's very ryokan-like. In the evening, there was work to make the bed for me, which was very nice. The hotel area is great, I don't want to go anywhere so I just want to stay in the hotel. Just walking around the hotel is a pleasure and every interesting point has a variety of activities. As for the onsen, it's very good. I soak every day before going to bed at night. In the morning I wake up and soak again. I really like the spacious area. The staff take good care of you, provide good service, are hospitable and everyone is friendly. Every corner of the hotel is very photogenic. There are lots of places to walk around outside of the hotel. There's plenty of food to eat at the shrine, so you can take a leisurely walk around. I want to stay for many days. I drove this morning and parked my car at the hotel for free because I was a guest but checked in at 3 p.m. I went out and walked around that area. It was really fun. As for the hotel, I recommend this place🥰🥰🥰

We will pick you up at Ureshino IC. They provide tourist information and the interior of the hotel is beautiful and neat. Even the flower arrangement is unusual. Comfortable room and clean, neat bedding. The open-air hot springs are well maintained. This was my second time staying here since last winter, and my friends who went with me were very satisfied with the dinner. One day was shabu shabu, the next day was kaiseki course. The breakfast buffet is also varied and good. It rained heavily on the second day, so we only visited Zuikoji and Toyotamahime Shrine in the morning and then went to the hot springs in the afternoon. My legs hurt because I had to walk on my own trip. It is a small city with many hidden attractions. Compared to winter, the water of the Ureshino River was clearer and the cherry blossom road leading to Todoroki Falls was beautiful.

🚄: Saga Prefecture is said to be the last place in Japan. We occasionally see that Ureshino Onsen is among the top three in Japan. After getting off the Shinkansen at Ureshino Station, call the front desk and they will send a car to pick you up (it is easier to communicate if you speak Japanese). There is really nothing near the station, and buses and taxis are not easy to get. 💁♂️Service: At first, the overseas agent booked the wrong room for me, which caused some trouble. With the active coordination of Ctrip, I was upgraded to a room, and Ctrip paid part of the cost. I would like to praise Ctrip’s excellent service quality here. The hotel staff are quite rigid and only follow the rules, requiring check-in after three o'clock. I actually arrived at one o'clock, but I didn't get the key until 3:40 because they had to use luggage trolleys one by one to push the luggage to the room. Let me introduce the hotel facilities to you. There are many people checking in in front, so you can imagine that you have to wait in line for a long time. While we were waiting, we went out for a walk, but there was nothing interesting around. The Ninja Village at the back 🥷 is more suitable for children. The ticket price is more than 1,000 yen. You can also take children to see it, otherwise it is completely unnecessary. I climbed up the hill to the door. Gone 🐶. The climb is also very tiring. 🧹Hygiene: The reason for changing rooms was hygiene issues. The original room was Japanese-style, very old and old, and some of the wooden structures were moldy. The quilts were laid out when needed, and the room was relatively cold. Not recommended. Later, I was upgraded to the tower (top floor) with a good view and the room was slightly cleaner, but the details were still dirty. Although Wataya is the representative of Ureshino Onsen, the facilities were slightly older after it was built a long time ago. (Maybe because the day of check-in is a traditional Japanese coming-of-age ceremony, it is a red day. It is difficult to change rooms and there are many people) ♨️: Due to a mistake in booking with the agent, you could have a private hot spring bath (that is, there is a private hot spring in the room, but now you can only go to the big bath. There are not many people in the big bath downstairs. After bathing, you can buy muji milk (vending machine, glass bottle) ) is quite interesting. But the bathhouse is also very retro, and the toiletries used are from Ureshino Onsen. They are very mild, the water is smooth, and the skin is really moisturized after washing. If you are simply attracted by the hot spring, buy tickets for the large bath in the lobby. That’s it. You don’t need to stay in a hotel at all! By the way, there is an area in the lobby where you can soak your feet for free. It's just so so, there is also a park with free foot baths on the streets of Ureshino. 🍜The hotel cost is high, and the local cuisine for dinner is hard to comment on. But the beef in Saga is actually very good, but it is not recommended to stay in a hotel to eat it. Breakfast needs to be eaten according to time periods. It is a buffet style (Japanese and Western style), but there are few meals to choose from and there are many cold dishes. Not recommended. ⚠️The nearest convenience store is about 500-800m away. If you go out to eat, remember to bring extra cash. The two restaurants I went to don’t accept credit cards 😂 👀See the picture below🥹 Heduowu is divided into many areas. The last area with good scenery is their Shuimingzhuang. Guests staying at Heduowu cannot go there. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance. But I’m afraid I won’t visit this store again🥲 for reference only.

The hotel lobby has a sense of design, combining modern aesthetics with Japanese tradition. The Japanese-style rooms with bathtubs are very spacious and the classical Japanese-style decoration. The bedrooms are very distinctive and have a historical and cultural charm. Compared with the business hotels of various chain brands, they are more beautiful. feature. Powder room, small tea room, double washbasin, natural wooden bathroom decoration, the space is very spacious and comfortable. The hotel has hot springs for hotel guests and local residents. There are free hot spring pools and private hot spring rooms for an additional fee. The cost is not high. The hotel service is very good. Some staff at the front desk are not very good in English, but they can use translation software to communicate smoothly. The hotel's dinner is highly recommended and is recommended to be booked. I read that some netizens said that the hotel is scary at night, but that’s not true! The lighting of the hotel is soft, and the biggest feature of Ureshino is that it is super quiet! Everyone talks quietly, and if you want to find a clean, natural place to rest, this is a place worth experiencing. It’s perfect for taking parents, the elderly like it very much!

It was great to experience a traditional ryokan, and it was interesting to see the various facilities. The public bath was spacious and the water was good, so I had a good bath. The landscaping interior is also pretty.

The staff were very friendly and tried to take care of everything we needed. Because I went on an independent trip, the surroundings were unfamiliar to me and I was unfamiliar with how to get there or move to other places. We printed out the fastest way to get there without transferring. I received a lot of help from the attention to detail, including taxi guidance and shuttle bus operation. I really appreciated the consideration and kindness in finding a solution immediately when I asked a question. There is an open-air hot spring only for women, which can be used from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. I was able to see cranes flying over the Ureshino River, which can be seen from the accommodation. Breakfast was a buffet, dinner on the first night was kaiseki, and on the second night it was shabu-shabu, all of which were very high-quality course meals. After walking the Ureshino Riverside trail (16,000 steps) to Todoroki Falls, I soaked my feet in the foot bath located between the lobby and the hotel store. It was great to spend time sitting on the wooden deck, chatting with friends and making small crafts (sewing textures). The atmosphere of the tearoom next to the bookstore, where you can enjoy a cup of Ureshino green tea a day, and the bookstore with a variety of books inside, was also quiet. Flower arrangements, decorative items, and Arita ceramics were placed in an appropriate manner, seemingly indifferently in every corner of the hallway or wherever the eye could reach, and the night view of the spacious courtyard was beautiful.

The hotel is relatively large, with a beautiful environment, and the front desk service is really great. The breakfast is self-service, with many dishes, both Western and Japanese, and you can choose freely.

The check-in counter was friendly and breakfast and dinner were delicious. Because it is an old building, the stairs to the main bath may be a bit uncomfortable for the elderly. However, I was satisfied because the hot spring water was good and the facilities in the hotel lobby were good.
