The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from Imari Train Station, with a very homey feel with friendly staff. We arrived via SHOWA Bus from Fukuoka Airport (approx. 2 hours 30 minutes - bought our tickets at the airport). The bus stopped at Imari Station, making access convenient. Room was spacious, with two double beds, a sitting area with TV, and a kitchen with a full-size fridge/freezer, microwave, and stovetop. The bathroom had a washer/dryer, and laundry detergent was available near reception for 100 yen. Entry to the building via a security card, adding an extra level of convenience and safety. The river behind the hotel made for a quiet and scenic walk, perfect for relaxing in the evening.Max Value Supermarket near Imari Station is open 24 hours. The best ramen in Imari is about a 15-minute walk from the hotel, near KFC.

An 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

The room is very comfortable and has all the facilities one needs. It is brightly lit and I have no problem doing my readings on my bed. The bathroom is a nice surprise with a suitably sized bathtub and a stool which makes one feel like in a private onsen. The projector is another great surprise. Its projection on the wall is sharp and bright. The beds and the pillows are perfect and we have a good sleep. The microwave oven enables us to reheat food for breakfast. Everything is so nice for this price!

We 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!)

Just wow. The breakfast was fantatsic,. The dinner was AMAZING,and so tasty. Pro tip: make sure to mention if you're allergic to something before you arrive, we forgot to mention that one of us was lactose intolerant and the desert had dairy in it, so the kitchen made my husband something different for desert, which was very nice of them, especially since that meant I had two deserts. It was also our honeymoon so we were gifted some champagne by the hotel staff. The room is fantastic, and ours had a private onsen. The bed and the bathroom were lovely, and the hotel was too. We wandered around at night, and discovered a table tennis table where you play with flipflops instead of bats, as per local custom. The bar was nice too, and the bartender let me choose the music to play. This ryokan's theme is music, and you can see how much the owners love music as it is literally everywhere.

It was an exceptional stay, and we thoroughly enjoyed the use of the space, combining both modern and traditional aesthetics. There were several little nooks that added surprise as we slowly discovered them at our own pace. We were delighted with the showcase of local ceramics and tea, and the welcome tea started us on our little tea journey, the start of a relaxing two days spent here. There was plenty of seating all around the ryokan, to relax, to wait, to medidate, to just stare into nature… A big thank you to all the staff we met, from the station pick up to the small conversations at breakfast. Looking forward to visit again at a different season to experience it anew.

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. The locals were very friendly and helpful and pleased to have visitors interested in their porcelain.

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.

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.
