My stay at Ureshino Onsen Yoshidaya Uchiroji Hondori (also known as Yadoya Uchiroji Hondori) was a tale of two extremes in the charming hot spring town of Ureshino, Saga Prefecture.
The hotel was modern Japanese-style with smart check-in system. The twin room was spacious, impeccably clean, and exude serene comfort, making it a perfect retreat. The private onsen facilities truly shine— It was a free slot with 40 mins, which could be booked once via QR Code at the room. Ureshino's famous sodium-rich hot springs, renowned as one of Japan's top three for beautifying the skin, deliver silky-smooth water that leaves you feeling rejuvenated.
However, the meal plan was a major letdown. I sent an email to the hotel to confirm my booking and stated I did not eat beef before. The customer service replied I had to pay extra per person in order to change the meat option. For over JPY 38,000 per night including breakfast and dinner, we anticipated premium kaiseki cuisine or traditional served Japanese dinner set. Instead, only a bento box with cold salad and an underwhelming beef and egg pie that felt mismatched for the price. Tragically, my husband experienced vomiting shortly after, likely food-related, which overshadowed our trip. And the breakfast was also disappointing, which was only cold sandwiches with a cup of tea or milk.
Thus, I strongly recommend the hotel clearly states the exact contents of dinner and breakfast plans on booking sites—including detailed menus or photos—and offers flexible options, such as plan changes or alternatives, if guests fall ill from the food. This transparency and adaptability would greatly enhance the experience and prevent frustration.

If you have something to do in the area, you can book at a good price and have no expectations.
After arriving, I found that although the room is a container house, no matter the appearance of the room, the room is very new and clean. Check-in was in the middle of summer in Japan, and the daytime temperature was as high as 37 degrees. And the new air-conditioning in the room is very cold enough, it is worthy of praise!
The front desk also provides a map of nearby restaurants, and the service is intimate!

The twin room is big and spacious. Can walk. The hot springs of the hotel next door on the first floor are few people from 4 to 5 pm every day, soak it tightly. Although there are not many things for breakfast, the rice is delicious with fried fish and thick egg roast. The service is also very kind. The location is behind the station and it is very convenient to travel. Free drinks are provided in the restaurant at 2 pm. Stayed for three nights and was satisfied.

This was my second stay, and it was even better than the first! Last time, they only offered a free shuttle from the station, but this time they've added a complimentary bus to the station as well. Both the buffet breakfast and dinner were great and offered excellent value for money. It's also super close to attractions and bus stops, making it very convenient for getting around.

Ureshino Onsen ♨️ They say your skin feels amazing after a soak, and it truly lives up to its reputation! I'd definitely come back again. This onsen hotel included breakfast and dinner with the booking. We stayed in a two-story villa, which is a bit further from the main building, about a few minutes' walk. If you don't feel like walking, the hotel offers a shuttle service, so the service is excellent. Check-in was naturally quick. The main building has an outdoor bath and various other baths, but since they're not that big, it can be hard to get a spot at night. Our villa had a private onsen, so we could take our time soaking in the room. The kaiseki meals for both breakfast and dinner were also quite good. I'd recommend booking it – we really enjoyed it!

Hotel right by the station. If you check in need to walk to the front for reception once you have the access card there is a door nearer to the train station. Lounge area with coffee/miso/ hot drinks/ ice/ microwave is really useful since there isn't any convenient store nearby the area. But there is a small restaurant and souvenir shop within the area

Evon Foo.We chose to stay here because hotels in Fukuoka were very expensive, and since we had the JR Pass, this location right beside the Tosu station was super convenient. The room was very clean, and the facilities were great — especially the included breakfast! It was a wonderful chance to try local Japanese dishes, and I really enjoyed it. The breakfast starts as early as 6:30am, which was very thoughtful — I still remember rushing to catch the 6:50am train to Fukuoka after eating, and I even had 5 minutes to spare, haha!
Staff were friendly and helpful, though English communication was a bit more limited — probably because it’s not a major station area. Still, everyone had a great attitude and tried their best. Overall, a very satisfying stay!

A great hotel with only 16 rooms. We booked 2 rooms, one with an outdoor hot spring facing the sea, and one with a bathtub. We booked a one-night stay with two nights. Dinner included large shrimps with bamboo crabs, especially the crab roe rice, which was very special.
The hotel facilities are also good, the rooms are large, and there are rest areas.
The only drawback is the transportation, there is no public transportation. We drove by ourselves, and the hotel could also pick us up at the nearest station on the same day.

For this price, including two meals, I think this hotel offers excellent value for money. The room size is decent, and being able to enjoy the hot springs is a real bonus. Honestly, there's nothing to complain about. Plus, the hotel even offers free parking in advance.
The room itself was pretty standard for a Japanese-style hotel, so I didn't bother taking any photos.
Dinner was a buffet with a huge variety of dishes. The photos only show a small selection of what I chose; the actual spread was much more extensive.

Guest UserThe hotel's location is super convenient, right across from the South Exit of JR Takeo-Onsen Station! Check-in is after 3 PM, and the staff are very welcoming. There's a main building and an annex, and you use your room key card to access your room. At the front desk, you can find free toothbrushes, coffee, bath towels, and wooden combs. It's a shame they don't offer small packets of skincare products. Also, drinking water isn't provided in the room! There isn't a convenience store right outside the hotel, but there's a small supermarket inside the JR station.
Breakfast is a simple buffet with both Japanese and Western options; the milk is delicious! The annex on the 8th floor has a public bath and a laundry room, and the rooms are quite spacious. You can borrow bicycles from the front desk to get around. Overall, it's a great stay!
