Homestays in Saga Prefecture, Japan

After getting off the train at Saga Station, I found it even more desolate than expected. It is indeed the place that ranks first in the list of the least attractive prefectures for many years. I walked a few hundred meters in the wind and rain to reach the Hagakure B&B. The appearance is no different from that of ordinary residential single-family houses. It is a relatively large villa. After entering the door, I found that the lighting and atmosphere are quite warm. There is only a young lady at the front desk. You need to scan the code, fill in the information, take a photo of your passport, and finally see the entry and exit password and get the room key. I booked a four-person female dormitory. The ventilation is probably not very good. One of the people living with me may have lived there for several days. I don’t know if it is Chinese medicine or something. The smell fills the room and can’t be dispersed. Fortunately, the store is very considerate to set up a small portable fan at the head of the bed. At night, the fan is always turned on to speed up ventilation. There was another small incident. Because it rained that day, we left our wet umbrellas at the entrance area to dry. We didn’t expect to find out the next morning that the area was locked from the evening until the next day when new check-ins were received. Therefore, when we left the next morning, another customer and I couldn’t go to the bar area to get our umbrellas. Fortunately, after contacting the store, we got their understanding and they promised to send our umbrellas to our homes. Although I haven’t received them yet, I’d like to give a thumbs up to this early response!

It's a five-minute walk from Saga Station, which is very convenient. There is no one at the front desk. You need to fill in the check-in information through the website in advance. The time will be shortened during check-in. You can also communicate via video via tablet (the customer service seems to be Southeast Asians and their Japanese skills are average). The room hygiene is pretty good. You need a hotel to get in and out. Send the password to unlock, two households on each floor.

房間較小，隔音不太好，但性價比高

The room is well maintained, the facilities are the same as the general hot spring hotel, one berth and two meals, the food quality is very high, very fresh, the portion is also very sufficient, and I will definitely stay at Dawang Pavilion again.

The inn was small, but the service and the meal were good. The volume of dinner is half-finished and the lack of people will not be good. It comes out very full. There are no saga beef or sea urchin. Breakfast is Ureshino Onsen ♨️ specialty tofu. Of course, breakfast is also full. There is no banquet hall, so room food. There is also a semi open-air hot spring in the room, but there is a bath where three people can put and a bath that can be rented, and the hot water was good. In the problem of the inn, there is no convenience store, etc., within walking distance, so I think it is better to finish shopping and check in. The photo is part of breakfast.

It was urgent business trip The room was clean and good

I was a little worried from the beginning, but I didn't worry about it because it was a fun trip. However, I was stunned by the final breakfast! ! Definitely not recommended for families with children! ! When I told them at the time of reservation that I had a 4-year-old child, the inn advised me to have a children's plate for the meal, and I asked for that. When we arrived at the inn, we had tea and apple compote for adults only. The room was nice and the hot water in the bath was very good. For dinner, the waiter repeatedly confirmed that ``children should eat plates,'' and what was served was a plate similar to a children's lunch at a family restaurant. Deeply flavored fried foods, hamburgers, omelet rice, pucchin pudding, and just a pinch of vegetables. 1 glass of orange juice. Still, the child was happy to have his own dinner, and we shared the adult side dishes, so I thought it was something like that. Although I had ordered a futon, there wasn't one for the child, so I thought it would be better to put two adult futons together so that two adults and one child could sleep together, but I just slept there. The next morning, breakfast was the last thing to look forward to at the inn. Side dishes for adults were lined up on the table, and plates were placed for children. When we took our seats, hot rice and miso soup for adults were brought to us, and the kids were eagerly waiting to see what their portions would be. Then, all that was brought to the child was a bowl of piping hot rice and furikake...? ? I waited for a while to see if someone would come later, but nothing came. In the end, my 4-year-old child's breakfast consisted of rice, commercially available Anpanman furikake, and a glass of water. The child who was looking forward to breakfast was disappointed...he shared the adult's side dish and ate it. Breakfast at home is still much better. This was my first time experiencing such harsh treatment, and it took me some time to understand everything. At other ryokans, we had plenty of dinner and breakfast for our children for the same price, and there was enough futon for one person. This is the only place I paid and felt it was too expensive for the service. I will never go there again! !

It was a very clean, bright and quiet inn. I was able to relax in a simple room. It's conveniently close to Kamiarita Station, and is a great place for touring Arita ware. However, please note that there are no convenience stores or places to eat within walking distance of Kamiarita. I arrived in the evening, so I brought plenty of stock with me, including bento boxes, drinks, and bread for breakfast. There is a small refrigerator in the room, and a shared kitchen and microwave, so you can make simple meals yourself. If you're planning on touring the pottery studios, renting a bicycle or car is a must.

I looked for various accommodations in Yobuko to eat live squid and decided to come here, and it was a great decision. The 14 tatami room on the second floor of the new building is spacious and has a window on the veranda with a great view. We had our meals in our room. I was waiting for live squid, but the sashimi and boiled squid were also very delicious. The live squid that was brought to me was large, chewy and sweet, just as I expected. You can also cut the geso into small pieces with scissors, but the texture is different from the meat and you can enjoy it. We had breakfast in the dining room, and in addition to the squid dumplings and zaru tofu, we also enjoyed the sea bream tea topped with fresh sea bream sashimi. Both the wife and the waitress were friendly and helped me in many ways.
