Best Kashima Hotels

There are almost no hotels that you can drop in around here. There are minimum necessary facilities, and there is also a convenience store nearby. There is also a hot spring that you can use for free if you stay overnight.

Hotel is very new and modern. Room is spacious. I was able to open up two big luggage and still with space to walk about. With such spacious room, it is a pity there is no bathtub in the room. Oh the bed and pillows were very comfortable... probably it was still very new. Haha Provide some coffee and tea in the lobby but sadly no beauty amenities for the guests to self pick as opposed to other hotels all over Japan. Travellers do take note that as this is a very small town, alot of restaurants and eateries might not be open during the weekdays or when it is off peak domestic travel season. Plus... the Google map GPS location brought me to the wrong area of the hotel... it brought us to the mountains! so do beware for those who drive.... pls go to hotel official website and get the pin coordinates for Google map navigation.

全新的日式温泉酒店，新的程度甚至有一棟還在建築中。有高質素的温泉設施，主要是露天溫泉為，只有兩間桑拿房是室內，其中一間有窗戶可以觀賞山景。晚餐是當地牛肉的西、日式料理，不是傳統的日式懷石料理。早餐則是很日本家庭式的食物。房間很大、舒適，還有一個小露台。是次住宿的感覺很寧靜、舒適。

Two consecutive nights using a one-person consecutive night plan. I moved the inn to 々 and arrived after 11 o'clock. When I tried to leave my luggage and go out to wait for check-in at 15:00 〜, I was ready, so I checked in early. I was very happy. The room was on the 11th floor of the tower building, with a good view of the mountain side, and it was wide 々, and I felt that the cost performance was good for the price. When I stayed, I was very lucky to be able to enjoy the natural hot springs in Ureshino because I couldn't use it to repair the failure of the large communal bath, and the paid open-air bath was open to the public for free. The baths change between men and women during the time of day, so be careful not to make a mistake when entering. There was also a sauna inside, and I was able to use it, but one was out of order and could not be used. The courtyard and the premises are very clean and it feels good to take a walk. When you go to the bath at night, the garden, lanterns, etc. are lit up, and a fantastic view spreads out in front of you. Breakfast is a breakfast set with hot spring tofu, which is famous here. You can refill rice and make a reservation without hesitation because it can be used by men. Even while working in the room, I was able to stay very slowly, enjoy the natural hot springs and open-air baths, and it was a very fulfilling two days. This time I would like to use it with a plan with dinner.

We stayed at this ryokan to start our tour of Saga Prefecture in early November 2021. It was a Sunday, which traditionally is the best day of the week to stay as many have to work from Monday. Perhaps it was due to the increase of those working remotely from home, but the ryokan was almost full judging from the crowded parking space. Registration was quick and we were momentarily shown to our room facing the river flowing below and the hills on the back. We were warmly welcomed by the lady staff that accompanied us to the room and brought our welcome snack. It appeared all the ryokan staff were happy with the return of travelers, where a couple of weeks back they may have been more concerned of the pandemic. I had a quick bath in their onsen bath on the top floor before dinner. Dinner was served in our room, which has become customary since the rise of this pandemic. We had ordered their speciality, sukiyaki of Saga beef. This was composed of some excellent local specialties as appetizers and the main beef sukiyaki. Our server asked if we needed help with the sukiyaki which you need to cook for yourselves, to which we said yes. She put the vegetables and then meat into the pot, and advised that we could have the meat as soon as it turned color. She left the room, asking us to call her again for the rice and miso soup as well as dessert, once we were done with the main course. It was an excellent sukiyaki, not too much sweet. But there was so much beef, that we had very little room left for the rice, or the udon noodles you stew in the pot at the end. The facilities were clean, and the staff all very friendly. We had a most enjoyable stay.

It is an old-fashioned large inn. The room has a tea incense furnace, a mirror stand, a large pot, and a cherry blossom in the matcha. My house with a 2-year-old child of a rampant was a bit harahara. I was expecting a room bath because I was in a room with an open-air bath, but the first impression was a narrow and ordinary bathtub, so I was disappointed honestly. However, when I actually entered, I was surprised that there was a depth and the quality of the spring was comfortable and I liked it! The family bath was cold but it was pleasant. Above all, the room food is comfortable. I was able to relax with my child. If I told you a poor ingredient, I responded firmly and everything was very delicious. My son was also cute and it was a fun meal! There was also a cute yukata for children.

This hotel has a history of 130 years. There is an indoor and outdoor pool for girls, and one for boys outdoors. There is no private soup in the old hotel. The boss opened a new restaurant opposite the hotel. It was opened on the day we arrived. You can make reservations for the private soup in the new restaurant. Fortunately, the enthusiastic boss took us around. It turned out that the private soup in the new hall is just a big wooden barrel! The ground floor of the new building is used as a guest house, and the second floor is the home of the boss’s daughter. I personally feel that it is more traditional stone masonry. The skin of the hot spring blisters is very slippery. After returning to Shanghai, my friends said that my skin is in good condition, haha When we left, the owner and his wife went out to see them off in person, a very humane shop! I made a reservation after reviewing the guest’s comments that his meal is very good. Sure enough, the dinner and breakfast were very good, with Saga Wagyu beef for dinner and tofu soup for breakfast! Very full and full~~
