The hospitality is the best, with welcome drinks, grilled crab service, and toasts with high-quality Japanese sake.Only 3 people can enter the men's bath in the large public bath (lol)The hot water was good!One thing that bothered me was that if I chose to eat late, the ladies who were cleaning up the tables of the customers who had finished earlier would be a little rough with it, so I felt like they were being rushed and I got nervous❗Since the food and drinks are lavish, I want you to enjoy it slowly❗

What a peaceful town.. i was running out of the time after landing at Fukuoka airport because i had to cycle almost 120km under the 38degree and strong sunshine.The family really welcomed me with warm heart. And let me have dinner even though the dinner time was over!I might have die by starvingThank you so much. I would love to visit with a CAR again!

Friendly staff and delicious drinks. The room was immaculate and clean, as if it had just been opened yesterday.For dinner, the crab, vegetables, and meat were all fresh and delicious, no complaints!It's so frustrating that I have to call a member of staff to drink all-you-can-drink draft beer. . .There's nothing around, but it's indescribably pleasant to walk around looking out at the ocean. I was able to have drinks on the first floor and relax in the open-air bath in my room, so I had a great time!

It was thanks to this inn that my trip to Tara Town, the southernmost town in Saga, with a population of 7,000 people, was so memorable.Tsuruso is a quiet inn where you can enjoy all-you-can-drink Saga sake and enjoy a private semi-open-air hot spring.Having stayed at quite a few inns in Kyushu, I've enjoyed Saga beef and seafood such as oysters and crabs for dinner, as well as small side dishes such as vegetables, tempura, simmered dishes, and pickles, all of which are delicious. I was very satisfied with all the meals, including warm boiled fish for breakfast.The atmosphere is family-run and homey. However, the cost of 15,000 yen per person for one night and two meals is surprising.They also have yukata for small children.The outside of the building is ordinary, but the inside and guest rooms have been beautifully renovated.It was better to book directly from this official website than from the portal site.You can rent a private bath at a low price, and get a few drinks from the sake server.It was an inn that I would definitely like to visit again.

I booked three different room types, all of which are newly renovated and great. Each room has a different style and color. The room with a bath attached has high-end equipment Yukihime. …

I booked three different room types, all of which are newly renovated and great. Each room has a different style and color. The room type with bath attached has high-end equipment Yukihime. All bathrooms are indoor showers and will not be cold. Only Arita-yaki bath has attached bathroom. There was a stench inside, which was like the smell of a ditch, and it never went away. It was too smelly to take a bath in the bathroom. The open-air bath room type is very good, it is ventilated and comfortable and will not get cold. Although the large bathhouse is small in size, you can open the window to circulate the air. There is only one vending machine in the hotel but no beer. The recommended sake is only a sake machine and a coffee machine, but there is no ice machine. Breakfast and dinner are very rich, and you can eat Takezaki crab, which is very fresh and satisfying. The staff in the hotel cannot speak English, but they are not afraid. Communication and you can guess what is said. I saw many, many stars at night. In summary, it is worth staying and the price is reasonable.
