  We stayed at one of their “premium” rooms. It was big enough for 5 with a nice garden view, but I’m not sure if it was worth the price we paid since it only had one small indoor bathtub in the room. The food was just ok with nothing really special. I wish it was more private. The dining hall felt way too public and casual. I did enjoy the overall stay, but nothing really stuck out as memorable for the price.

  We took a highspeed bus from Fukuoka airport here - which took us around 1.5 hour. The staff from the hotel picked us up from the bus station directly and drove us to the hotel directly. The hotel was authentic - even it looked aged but everything was nicely preserved and maintained. The room was huge with a nice view (be prepared to navigate around the hotel - it looked bigger than it seemed to be). The onsen was brilliant - nice quality of water. They had another onsen away from the hotel - which they offered shuttle bus to-and-from that onsen every hour - that onsen was located in the middle of the forest which was stunning. The dinner and breakfast were the traditional Japanese meals - the staff would deliver all the food to your desk with their own pace. The food was nice - not the best Japanese food that I have ever had but nice enough for this price. The special tofo pot in the morning was a must-eat for everyone - very delicate tofo with nice flavours. This hotel was also quite remote from everything so we didn’t see a lot of tourists.

  We love everything about this place Traveling as a family, we were using JR Kyushu pass to get to Ureshino. It’s very convenient, the hotel can arrange pick up service and drop off. This needs to be reserved in advance We got the ground floor room. The room is spacious and we can walk out to the garden. It’s really peaceful Dinner and breakfast was great Highly recommend for anyone who looking for a place to relax. You can enjoy 3 Onsens throughout the day (one is 10 mins away, they offer bus shuttle between the hotel and this outdoor bath)

  My family and I had such a wonderful experience at Taishoya. They made it so special from arriving to leaving. They made arrangements for us to get it the station early in the morning to catch the bullet train. The service at our dinner & breakfast were exceptional. There were 3 different baths to enjoy- all were well maintained and clean with towels for you to use. They also had a nice amenity bag that came with all the little things you need for a stay. Can’t say enough good things! It’s also right along the street of lots of shops. 10/10 highly recommend!

  This is the most expensive hotel I've ever lived in at ~26666 yen/person/night, and I expect this to be the best experience I've had. It did not disappoint. To celebrate the opening of the Ureshino Onsen Shinkansen Station, they offer a plan with limousine car transport to and from the station. We chose the limousine plan with the Saga Wagyu, the hotel's highest-grade food. When we arranged the limousine transport, they said they could not offer the limousine car and instead only have a usual small truck. This is before the free cancellation period, so I can still forgive this difference. When the day comes, we still get a limousine car, which is quite good. After check-in, the staff helped take all our belongings to the rooms and explained the facilities on the way. The staff does not speak much English at all, luckily we know some Japanese, so we can communicate. If you do not know Japanese, you might need a good and fast transition app. Room We booked an 8-tatami room with a wooden bathtub with onsen water. 1 tatami is the size of a single bed (3x6ft). This is alright for my group of 3. The room has 4 bedding sets, and that would feel slightly cramped. There is also a larger room with an onsen bath and a few smaller rooms without an onsen bath. Rooms with onsen bath are in "bessou", meaning annexe. It features a beautiful garden with flowing water. My group is lucky with a room on the ground floor to walk around the garden and listen to the water flow. Food In traditional ryokans like this, they will make your bed and push the large table to the side at dinner. During breakfast, they pack your bedding into the closet and move the table back to the centre. They only clean up the room during breakfast. They also give toothbrushes daily, which is silly (I got 9 at check out, and none of them was used!). The food was the most significant selling point, and it was incredible. A traditional Japanese Kaiseki meal with a wide variety and tasty ingredients. They are also beautifully plated (some with Arita yaki, a locally made porcelain, I suspect). The pictures will do a better job of describing them. The saga beef was outstanding and worth the extra cost, but I feel guilty eating it due to how good it was and how oily it was. The quantity is sometimes too much in dinners. Onsen The bathtub in the room does not feel clean, as the edges are turning black. Also, the water from the onsen is 95C, so we have to mix it with cold water, and it feels noticeably less pure than in the public bath. They also offer free buses every 30 minutes to another hotel of the group in the evening. The public bath there is called Shiibanoyu. It is open air and has good views but is full of dead insects. It also feels less pure than the hotel's public bath, so I would not recommend it. The best bath is their own public bath. It is somewhat old, with the floor turning black, and the stone floor has many sharp edges. But the bath was clean and large, so I still enjoyed my time there. There is another public in the hotel, but it is under Construction, so I did not get to see it.
