The hotel is in a great location, just five or six minutes away from the Ureshino Bus Center, where you can take the express bus to Fukuoka or Nagasaki.
It is ten minutes away from the shops, with large supermarkets and drugstores (tax-free for purchases over 5,500 yen)
The tenth floor of the hotel is the hot spring bathhouse, which is open from 7 am to 11 am. It is divided into open-air and indoor areas, which is very comfortable.
The hotel room is also very spacious, and three people live very comfortably.
In addition, disposable socks are provided, which saves the trouble of washing socks 😀
If you are just staying in Saga for one night, you can still consider it. I really don't recommend other hotels because the bed is very small and the bathroom is really average. You don't even want to take a shower. Of course, if you have the courage, you can try the hot spring bath on the ground floor. You can get toiletries in the lobby and there is also free Costa coffee. So you can't ask for too much for this price. It is a certain distance from the airport on foot, but it is within an acceptable range. Across the main road outside the hotel (next to the airport bus station) there is a supermarket that is larger than 711 and opens until 12 o'clock in the evening, which is convenient for guests who want to buy things when they return late, but it is not duty-free.
The onsen is amazing. Extremely convenient location which just 30 second away from railway station. There is bike free for use as well. Some of the staffs can speak English and they are all very helpful and nice. You can enjoy Japanese style breakfast as well. Highly recommended !!!
I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, especially if your budget allows for it!
The room windows offer direct views of the moat, and the hotel is incredibly close to attractions like the hot air balloon festival grounds and shrines.
**Transportation:** From Saga Station, you can take the Showa Bus (towards Karatsu) directly to the hotel. Alternatively, the most convenient option is to simply take a taxi.
**Service:** I absolutely have to commend the hotel's front desk staff! They were an enormous help! Due to heavy rains in the Kyushu region, I found myself stranded in Saga and had difficulty getting around. I wanted to arrange for my luggage to be sent directly to my next hotel in Fukuoka. A lady wearing glasses at the front desk was exceptionally helpful in assisting me with filling out the Takkyubin (luggage delivery service) forms. Even though the courier company ultimately couldn't guarantee delivery to my next hotel before my departure due to the heavy rain, the hotel staff's assistance was invaluable and greatly appreciated!
**Dining:** When it's too hot in summer, taking a break at the hotel's first-floor cafe, sipping coffee and enjoying the views, is a fantastic way to relax. (The Baumkuchen is delicious!)
A quiet and beautiful hot spring town. The hotel is in a great location, two minutes away from the bus center. The room is very comfortable, the hot spring is also good, and you can take a shuttle bus to Shiiba Sanso for a hot spring bath. The breakfast and dinner are the best for me among all the hot spring hotels I have stayed in so far. The staff are polite and courteous, and I highly recommend staying here.
Checked in at 15:30.
It was a calm Japanese room with a view of the river and cherry blossoms.
I immediately entered the public bath.
I relaxed in a warm and soft hot spring that is unique to old hot water.
I took a slow hour and got tired.
Thank you for the beautiful fukafuka futon.
The breakfast was delicious.
The design of the hotel is very unique, with artistic enjoyment, and the food is quite Kaiseki style, without any special features. The slightly better menus have to be paid separately, which I haven't seen in other hot spring hotels of this level. There is also an additional fee for tea ceremony, which is a pity.
Although it is very retro and old, the service is very good, the hot spring in the large bath is quite good, it is very clean and the layout is grand, without any shabby feeling.
The hotel lobby is really in retro Western style, and it has a unique flavor. Accompanied by the self-service coffee, the sense of happiness is upgraded.
The location is good, you can walk to Takeo Tower Gate and JR Station. This hotel was built in 1910 and can be used as a landmark. Taxi drivers know it.
Japanese-style room, spacious enough for a family. The balcony faces a large pond with nice views. The hot spring is super smooth, and it is indeed a skin-beautifying hot spring. I took a bath in Takeo Hot Spring later, and the contrast was very clear. The dinner was quite rich and cost-effective. Most of the guests I met were local Japanese guests who came to relax on weekends. Although I booked a room with a bathroom, I didn't use it. I prefer the open-air hot spring downstairs. If you don't need a bathtub in the room, you don't need to book a room with a bathroom. It's very convenient to take a bath and wash downstairs.
The room is large for Japan, and the transportation is conveniently located next to the bus and railway station. The hotel has free coffee, oven and microwave for guests to use in the public area, which is very considerate. The quality of the coffee is really good, not sloppy at all. You can buy food from the supermarket and cook it in the oven and microwave for breakfast and dinner.
Great

Very Good
KKennyI recently stayed at Hotel R9 and had a pleasant experience, giving it an overall rating of 4 out of 5. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for short stays like overnight visits.
The unique concept of individual container rooms at Hotel R9 adds a touch of novelty to the experience. While the rooms may not be spacious enough for two males sharing a double room, they are still comfortable for couples. I found the rooms to be clean and well-maintained, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Although Hotel R9 lacks fancy facilities like hot spring pools, swimming pools, and saunas, it does provide a convenient laundry room. This is particularly useful for solo and family travelers on a long trip but with a short stay at the hotel. Additionally, the hotel offers the option to soak in a hot water bath, which is especially rejuvenating when feeling tired. In terms of facilities, Hotel R9 falls slightly short with a rating of 3 out of 5. However, considering its focus on providing a comfortable and unique stay, the overall experience compensates for the limited facilities.
The hotel's location is excellent, receiving a perfect 5 out of 5 rating when driving. As for the service, while it was generally good, there is room for improvement, leading to a rating of 4 out of 5.
In conclusion, Hotel R9 is a great choice for travelers seeking a short, convenient stay. With its clean rooms, excellent location for drivers, and a range of practical amenities, it offers a pleasant experience overall.
GGuest UserThe breakfast was very rich and especially powerful. The scenery of Ivanli was beautiful. The hotel's shampoo and shower gel conditioner tasted very much. In addition, the details were very comprehensive. The only drawback was that I could not smoke. To be honest, this was not friendly. The barbecue in front of the hotel is great, it is highly recommended to try it.
AArtem MSpacious rooms, but only with separate beds.
I like to sleep with my wife in the same bed, but in the room I had to sleep separately. This is a small disadvantage.
They didn't clean the room even once for 3 days.
Great breakfast, everything was excellent.
The public bath was clean and spacious.
I liked the yukatas that were given to me.
The washing machines are located in the public bathhouse and are not available after 11 p.m. There is also no banknote exchange machine in the laundry room.
The hotel is located far from the railway and it would be great to organize a transfer from the railway station to the hotel.
Overall, I really enjoyed it.
Пляж в 5 минутах ходьбы. Лучше заселяться в будни на выходных людей больше.
Иностранцев мало, в основном местные.
От жд станции минут 20 пешком. От отеля до жд станции есть бесплатный трансфер 3 раза в день утром (последний вроде в 10:50), а от жд станции Higashi-Karatsu Station минут 20 пешком и общественного транспорта не видел, ходил пешком.
Завтрак великолепный -есть смузи, мороженое, морепродукты и много всего другого.

LLeon Ho4455Both breakfast and dinner were terrible, leaving me starving at night. I'd highly recommend bringing your own food, especially since there are no 7-Elevens or convenience stores nearby. However, the hot spring water was absolutely fantastic; it left my skin feeling incredibly smooth and soft! The hot springs get a perfect 10/10. As for the food, it simply wasn't up to par!
AAnonymous UserAfter 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!
Lluhwa99Very close to the train station, just walk two or three minutes to the left of the station
The facilities are very clean, the bed is very good, and the toiletries are all dhc brand products
It is also very quiet to sleep at night, and there is a simple Japanese breakfast in the morning. It's more than 200 yuan, so it's very cost-effective. I will stay here next time.
KKimmmaaaThe onsen is amazing. Extremely convenient location which just 30 second away from railway station. There is bike free for use as well. Some of the staffs can speak English and they are all very helpful and nice. You can enjoy Japanese style breakfast as well. Highly recommended !!!
GGuest UserThe Hotel is very accessible. 2 minutes walk from Tosu station. There is also Lawson beside.
The hotel is very clean and quiet. The staff are welcoming and some can speak English. The food from the restaurant is delicious.
QqqdaughterThe location is on the hillside, and the bus station is a bit hard to walk up with luggage. The outdoor hot spring has been remodeled, and the male guests have no outdoor hot springs. The service is very good and the environment is very good.
