Hotels with Breakfast in Unzen

Kai Ureshino is located right in front of the Nagasaki bus station. The hotel building itself is not particularly attractive. In fact one can easily missed the hotel. It is a modern design hotel, with the lobby lounge with floor to ceiling windows facing the hot spring. The staff nicely introduced the hotel info in our room. All the hotel rooms are facing the hot spring. It is a nicely proportioned room arrangement. This is the second time we stay at a Kai onsen hotel. The shower room is very nice, with a separate toilet. The dinner and breakfast is served in the same restaurant. All dining rooms are partitioned to preserve privacy, though you still can hear people talking loudly. The food was sumptuous and fresh. The hotel offers some activities inside the hotel for guests. We picked a lesson and trial of letterpress printing, it was fun and got an experience of traditional printing on a postcard. The onsen is a minute walk from the lobby and has no roof. We need to bring an umbrella to walk because it was raining. If a roof is built it would made the walk easier. The good thing about Kai is that the check out time is 12:00 noon so that you have more time to enjoy the hotel.

This suite has been renovated. The official website describes it very well. The actual stay may be too high. It feels quite different from Hoshinoya. It is nice to soak in the private bath in the room and watch the ripples on the sea in the afterglow of the sunset. The front desk of the hotel does not speak English at all, and needs to rely on a translator. The hotel has a shuttle bus to take you to the hot spring hell to watch the fireworks. The dinner of the hotel is very good. As a hot spring hotel, the kaiseki is very attentive in both the presentation and the ingredients. However, the waiter does not speak English at all, so our experience is a bit worse. The breakfast is only Japanese and you need to wait until everyone is present before you can eat it. It is reasonable. The hotel courtyard is beautiful, but you can't enter.

I stayed here for several nights at the end of the year. As a result, I was not able to have a satisfactory stay. It was recognized as a long-established luxury inn that will reopen on December 15, 2022. The building is certainly new, and since it was a premium suite, it had a semi-open-air bath. I decided on a suite because there was also a lounge that was limited to 7 suites. The selling point of the suite lounge was the upscale atmosphere created by the fire, but on the second day there was no fire at that time. Tea time is just a coffee machine and dry goods. Bar time is sparkling wine, red and white wine, and dry drinks. During the two days, I only met one other customer. I guess everyone feels that it cannot be called a lounge. There's no benefit to me since I can't drink coffee. When I informed them, a plastic bottle of water was left for the next day. That's the extent of the response. You should learn what a suite lounge is like at other luxury hotels and inns. There were times when the shops were closed despite the opening hours. I was also looking forward to the bar lounge and tea lounge, but when I opened the lid, I was told that they weren't open yet. This was also a criterion for choosing an accommodation, but it is still in a state that cannot be called a grand opening. It's like a scam. The taste of the food was neither good nor bad. On the first day, the customer service was poor and I felt like I was in a pub. It wasn't worth the price. From the 2nd day after the complaint, we changed to a firmer response. At dinner on the first day, something that wasn't on the menu suddenly appeared. The first explanation was that the ingredients were not available due to the snow, but when I asked the proprietress, she informed me that the menu had changed since that day. The first explanation was a lie. The ingredients are covered in everything from abalone to fish to vegetables. It's just one meal. Although the quality of the spring water in the semi-open-air bath in the room is good, the bathtub is so small that you can hardly take a bath by yourself. I don't understand the concept at all. Also, the temperature of the water is not stable, and I feel it fluctuates between 38℃ and 45℃. It was on the second night that things stabilized. One of the causes of these dissatisfaction is the lack of information dissemination. On the inn's website, there is almost no information about the rooms, facilities, meals, services, etc. The linked blog has not been updated since the completion ceremony was uploaded on October 24th. Also, SNS linked on the HP. There is almost no posting on Facebook or Twitter. In this day and age, customers first look for information when choosing a place to stay. There have been almost no reviews on accommodation sites since the reopening. It's a devastating situation. It was written in a few other reviews, but they said they had been contacted by phone in advance. I didn't have one at home so I called from here. At that time, I mentioned SNS, etc., but the woman who answered the phone laughed and said, ``We don't have any staff.'' By the way, I haven't received a reply to this review yet. I believe that another reason is the management. This shows that customer service education is not standardized. What's more, I felt that the proprietress' response was a one-sided attempt to evade responsibility. The staff. Apart from serving on the first day, everyone was working really hard. For their sake, I think it is necessary to look back on the current situation and live up to the name of a high-class ryokan from the customer's perspective. I did not dare to request a discount this time, but the discrepancy between the price and the service was very large. It's a great shame, considering that it was a place we had fun with several times a year, and even more so, as a yearly celebration. In the introduction of a certain HP, it was written as follows. Founded in 1929. It has been used by His Majesty the Emperor and Crown Prince, and by literary figures such as Hakushu Kitahara and Ueharu Noguchi, as well as by Hibari Misora ​​during her performances in Kitakyushu. This gives the impression that it is a prestigious and wonderful inn. I just regret my own wisdom.

I was as little apprehensive staying here given the poor ratings, but I couldn't have been happier. Staff were friendly, and made an effort, although only 1 reception girl spoke any English. I had a Japanese style room overlooking the lake. It was massive, and very comfortable. The only issue was that the windows weren't double glazed, and it was freezing outside (-8c overnight), and the sitting area got extremely cold. I guess it doesn't normally get this cold though. The room was warm with the sliding doors closed. The onsen were perfectly acceptable. The rooftop one was great in the snow! I had half board. The food options were extensive at both breakfast and dinner. If you don't eat Japanese food the choice will be quite limited though. Good selection of free drinks, and decent selection of paid for alcoholic drinks. There's loads of common areas and places to relax. A previous commenter mentioned the long corridors, which is true, the wrong room can mean long walks to the onsen and restaurant. Overall, 5*. But remember this is a JAPANESE hotel, catering to domestic tourists, so don't expect an international style hotel!

This time? Then, go to a hot spring inn. I made it ”Seiunso” with a good reputation for word of mouth. As a result, it was a great success! I was able to spend a fulfilling time in a waste of one night. The room was a bed, but comfortable as a wide 々. All the meals were delicious, including Nagasaki Wagyu beef. Breakfast was gorgeous and I replaced it many times. It was good that there was a pigeon, a local dish in Nagasaki. And after all, the bath was good! It was a pity that the large communal bath and the open air were completely different, but both were able to take a leisurely bath as wide 々. Especially while soaking in Tsuboyu, the time to watch the starry sky was very luxurious, and I wanted time to stop. It has become my favorite inn!

由緒あるホテルが改装され スモールラグジュアリーホテルに。 お値段なりの印象です。 部屋は広く、部屋の源泉掛け流し温泉は良いです。湯の花がいっぱいです。 露天風呂は寒いので内湯の方が好きです。 ラウンジは二ヶ所あり、 片方はバーテンダーさんが常駐してて、 カクテルも無料で作って頂けます。 ホテルスタッフの方も皆さんフレンドリーで、客室数が少なく、静かな大人のリゾートホテルと言う感じです。 高級感もありすごく良いです。ゆったり出来ます。 メインダイニングも館内着に部屋のサンダルでOKです。 家に居る様な感覚がします。 ただ、 雲仙地獄がこれを、絶景のロケーション？ と言うか、、 荒涼とした大地から湯気が噴き出てます。 それだけです。 メインダイニングは改装されずに 昔のままだそうで重厚な感じです。 眺めは、吹き出す蒸気で良く見えません。 食事は、和洋折衷で、お刺身が出たり、美味しく頂きましたが、サプライズ感はありませんでした。 朝食は、和食が絶品との口コミがいくつかあり、家内は洋食、自分は和食。 絶対洋食でしょ？？ ありきたり？　何を食べてこられたのでしょう。 自分は洋食で、朝からご飯は初めて見ました。これこそサプライズです。 パンが1切れなのがご不満なのか、、、 和食は、鯛とあさりの玉子掛けご飯、、、 差は歴然で洋食にすれば良かったです。 久しぶりに温泉に来た感のある 硫黄の匂いが街中を包んでいます。

This is a wonderful ryokan managed by friendly and hospitable staff. The bosses also serve alongside with staff. The ryokan is well-kept & the decoration is chic. The rooms are big enough to sleep 2 adults & 2 children. There is parking directly in front of the hotel which cost will cost you ¥250 but the hotel will reimburse you. The food quality is high and the private onsen is spectacular! The surrounding is nice & quiet. There is a Lawson just less than a minute away if you need to buy something.

Stayed in a Japanese-Western room. I had a sea bream shabu kaiseki meal for dinner. The room had been renovated and was very clean. Even though there are twin beds, there is enough space to relax on the tatami mat. The sea bream shabu kaiseki we had for dinner was very delicious, using locally sourced ingredients. The soy sauce for sashimi and ponzu sauce are also handmade. The amount of food was enough to satisfy even a man. There is a parking lot, but the location is not listed anywhere on the website. On the day, you will drive to the front of the hotel and receive guidance.

Because it is an inn that is renovated everywhere, the old and new are strange. The meal was not good or not, but it seems that the steamed hell steamed dish steamed by the steam of the hot spring can be selected depending on the plan, so it may be better to have a regional color. However, if you take a bath at sunset, you can enjoy the spacious bathtub in the best location.

highly recommended This year, the hotel with the best experience of ”one berth and two meals” in Kyushu, Unzen Fukudaya, has been managed by the family for 50 years, and is now the second-generation operation. Inquiries: info@fukudaya.co.jp The most important thing is that there is a patient and careful Chinese young couple working in the store, one is responsible for the front hall and the other is responsible for catering. Traffic problems. Dinner was good, sulphur springs were good, and it was not expensive to book a private pool, which was great. Very worthwhile hotel, will organize friends to go next time! Reminder, there are Island Rail 1-day or 2-day tickets sold in Isahaya (Adult 3500 / Child 1750 yen, including trains and cars). If you go directly to the hotel from Isahaya, it is recommended to take a bus directly in Isahaya , About 50 minutes. If you want to take a small yellow train deliberately, you must get to the main station Shimabara, change the bus in the direction of Unzen at the gate, and it will take 2 hours to get to the hotel.
