SingaporeWe were greeted immediately with umbrellas and a smiley guest executive when we arrived at the hotel car park. We had a nice welcome drink and they made sure to give us a good introduction of the hotel facilities before we headed to our room. The receptionists were always ready to greet us with our keys when we arrived back at the hotel from touring the area. They have a beautifully maintained onsen (indoor and outdoor) with super silky waters that feel great on the skin. The rooms are quite spacious as well and they provide us these beautifully printed cookies of Arita porcelain designs in the room as well as green tea leaves as part of their service. We appreciated the nice hygiene amenities in the bathroom. The hotel is on a pretty steep hill so it is hidden away fr the Main Street but there are many eateries and tea shops within walking distance. Bonus - they are partnered with another nearby onsen hotel and we could use their onsen facilities for free as guests. We had a great time staying there.

United StatesAn Unexpected Gem in Saga: My Stay at HOTEL fah
I discovered this hidden gem in Saga City during a business trip that brought me from Incheon. While the city offers numerous accommodation options, I specifically needed a spacious room for my extended stay. HOTEL fah surprised me in the most delightful ways.
The hotel's proximity to the station is its first major advantage, though initially, I had some trouble locating it due to Google Maps' somewhat unclear directions. The convenience of having a well-stocked supermarket at the station proved invaluable during my stay.
The room itself exceeded my expectations. Being a newly opened establishment, everything was pristine and new. I particularly appreciated their choice of MUJI products throughout the room, which added a touch of minimalist elegance. The in-room microwave was a practical addition that I used frequently. The attention to cleanliness was impressive – the housekeeping team maintained impeccable standards throughout my stay.
What makes this property unique is the innovative combination of a barbershop and café on the ground floor, creating a lively atmosphere from morning till night. This vibrant setup contributed to the hotel's welcoming ambiance. When I needed to extend my stay, the staff was remarkably accommodating and helpful in arranging the additional night.
The peaceful environment and comfortable setting made it an ideal place for productivity – I managed to complete a significant amount of work during my stay. The blend of convenience, comfort, and professional service makes HOTEL fah a standout choice in Saga City.
Special thanks to HOTEL fah for providing such a comfortable home away from home. This establishment truly understands the needs of both business and leisure travelers

BelgiumWe were very happy with this hotel. It had everything we needed, excellent location, quiet, spotless - the place is brand new basically. The hotel staff were also extremely professional and attentive, they helped us with info in English, they helped us get seats at a local izakaya of our choice..We also really liked the tiny hot bath in front of the hotel where we could relax (always with some locals which was cool), soak our feet, and have a beer from the vending machine ;)

I was hesitant to book this resort initially as there was only 1 recent review when I booked, and the older reviews of the original hotel were not that good. However, I decided to take a chance and I'm so glad I did!!! The resort is newly renovated and all the furnishings and decor are all very clean and new. The resort location was ideal as I wanted to be located near Mifuneyama Rakuen so I could go see the Autumn colours at night (only 6 min drive away). The facilities on the resort were fantastic.... the spa pool required swimsuits which the resort thoughtfully prepared for each guest, all packed in individual tote bags. The hot spring pool was a a bit small, but the resort was not packed when we stayed, so there were no other people around when we used the spa pool or hot spring. But what impressed me the most has to be the amazing service we received. Most of the staff did not speak English or could only speak minimal English, but they always tried their best to understand our needs, and made us feel so comfortable. The staff's dedication and service quality are top-notch. The food was so amazing as well (The sukiyaki dinner and Japanese breakfast included in the stay were so good!)

The staff could not have been more helpful. I had a medical issue and a lady at reception arranged help for me.
The hotel is only about an 8 minute walk from Imari Station where the Fukuoka Showa Bus also arrives and departs.
There is a lovely Izakaya (pub) right next to the hotel car park and an Aeon supermarket nearby.
The best thing is their buffet breakfast. A large choice of freshly prepared food with menu specials that change daily.
There is a coffee and soft drink bar in the lobby.
You can catch a train on the Matsuura Railway line from Imari to Arita but there is only one per hour. It is only a 15 minute bus ride to the pottery village of Okawachiyama but use the timetable outside Imari Station to plan your trip. Only ¥200 each way.

We stayed at Ryokan Oomuraya in a big family group to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was the highlight of our trip! It is a beautiful traditional ryokan with a fun music focus. Everything about our stay was so enjoyable, from the relaxing onsen to the delicious and creative meals, the excellent drinks and atmosphere at the music bar, and of course the hospitality of the lovely staff! They helped me to arrange a cake for my husband’s birthday, cheerfully sang happy birthday with us and gave him some party hats to wear! Ureshino Onsen is a beautiful little town which was fun to explore, with lovely cafes and gift shops. We hope to visit again one day!

The onsen facilities in ryokan is very good, especially the open air bath area. The sand bath option is unusual, and the foot bath avail is nice too.
Even as the staff mostly cannot speak english well, they were very helpful and assisted to their best efforts. The shop in lobby level is interesting with things to purchase.

I'd strongly recommend taking the time to ensure that the accommodation you're booking is close enough to any specific areas you wish to visit. Saga itself, is simply a township without too many attractions other than a museum, a castle and a couple of short, pretty walks. If you want to see something further afield, such as Arita or Imari (located in the Saga region), be prepared for quite a bit of travel. Even places to stay near these areas are several kilometers away.

Ureshino is famous for the green tea and the onsen.
The Ureshino Tea Exchange musuem is 100% worth a visit and don't forget to drink a tea in the cafe! It is amazing quality and very cheap (300 yen for 1 tea)
Then I would also recommend Fuji restaurant, they make great Okonomiyake, Yakisoba and many more dishes! Staff is amazing!
If you have a car drive up to the mountain to visit the tea fields, 100 % worth it!

Takeo and Ureshino are getaway destinations more geared towards couples. I would not recommend going as a solo traveler. It's also more convenient to get around with a car, but even then, it's a little hard to find parking in the towns. If I'm being honest, there really isn't much to do in these towns compared to the bigger cities in Kyushu.
However, locals in Saga are very nice and I did get some of the most affordable and best tasting sushi I've had in Japan while in Ureshino. I was able to try shirako for the first time and it was delicious. The sushi master also gave me a kujira-zushi for free and it was the best kujira I've ever had. So, getting to try those was probably the highlight of my time in Saga.

One of the most comfortable places we have stayed in, in a very long time. Spotlessly clean. Fresh flowers, snacks on arrival. Clean, beyond comparison. This is not a place to stay if you want city life. It is a super quiet village. The observatory behind the house is one of the best cherry blossom destinations we have been to. We spent 2 hours there and we were the only people on the mountain. Spectacular.

We loved being able to visit some of the kilns and see how the porcelain is made. As well as showrooms, some makers had museums showing older pieces of their work. The Kyushu Ceramic Museum had fabulous pieces on display and good explanations on the processes involved.

I did an overnight trip to Takeo, and it was great - the Takeo shrine and Public library are right next to each other, and both are worth the visit. I also went to an onsen the following morning and that was a great experience. The town seems very easily walkable, and is a great stop between Fukuoka and Nagasaki.

1 - Must go to the Yutoku Onsen. Beautiful outdoor pools (busy around 7pm, lots of locals with kids), very tasty restaurant - great bargain ¥1000 for the onsen AND dinner included. Massage, etc facilities on site.
2 - Town is cute with lots of ceramics everywhere for great instagram moments.
3 - MUST go up to the Okawachiyama pottery village - take the back roads, as they are beautiful. 15 minute or less drive, 1 hour bike ride or so.

Arita is nice place to learn about ceramic, and the environment is nice with many mountains and trees. Also this area has many shrines and art museums, and there is a lot history about porcelain in Japan.
