#JapanTravel #HotSpringTravel #Japan #Ureshino #PlacesToVisitInJapan Ureshino, a town in Japan famous for its hot springs for beautiful women! Summer hot springs can be difficult because they are hot, but it is different when it rains. It has a charm and is not too hot, so it is good. If you like to soak your body in hot spring water, I recommend it! I stayed at 'Wataya Besso' in Ureshino and was satisfied. The locals said that the accommodation was number one in this town. The location is about 15 minutes on foot from Ureshino Bus Center. If you have a hotel reservation, ask the bus center staff for the hotel shuttle bus, and the winter bus will come! It was convenient because the shuttle bus came whenever you called, not at a set time. Unlike other hotels, I was able to check in right away when I arrived early, which was really nice! (Early check-in about 2 hours) The room was a traditional Japanese tatami room, and it was a little old, but I went there considering that, so it was okay for me! (Analog sensibility🌟) I was very satisfied with the large public bath and women's open-air bath! There are paid facilities, but the free facilities were sufficient. There is also a foot bath, so it's good to enjoy leisurely♥️ The interior of the building is pretty, so there are photo zones everywhere! The staff were all friendly, so I felt good. I recommend staying for 2 nights rather than 1 night to enjoy leisurely~ 📍Wataya Besso Hotel in Ureshino, Japan 🚍You can travel by rental car, express bus, or train When going from Fukuoka, take the bus to Nagasaki from Hakata Terminal! (Bus to Nagasaki via Ureshino) Bus fare: 4,000 yen round trip Travel time: approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes

Fairfield by Marriott Saga Ureshino Onsen. Located in front of Ureshino Onsen Station, the hotel feels like a Marriott accommodation dedicated to room-only stays. It's a relatively new hotel and very clean! The common area on the lobby floor is spacious, and it's okay to eat food purchased from outside stores. A nice touch is the free miso soup, even though it's instant. Coffee and other beverages are also available. Although it's in a hot spring town, the hotel doesn't have its own hot spring, so you'll need to go to an external bath. There is a footbath right in front of the hotel. 【Fairfield by Marriott Saga Ureshino Onsen】 Address: 4765-1 Oaza-Shimojuku, Ureshino, Ureshino-shi, Saga Prefecture 843-0301 Phone number: 0954-27-8655

I had a staycation at Ureshino Onsen♡ Established in 1830, it is a very historic inn, but the rooms have been recently renovated and are very comfortable☺️💗 The food was delicious, and the semi-open-air bath and family bath were all great😍 Above all, the hot spring tofu was so good... When you boil tofu in hot spring water, it becomes very soft and gooey🥺💗 It is said to be a specialty of Ureshino Onsen, so if you go to Saga/Ureshino Onsen, you should definitely try it!! !!! !!!

Izakaya in Ureshino city, Saga prefecture. Ureshino Onsen is one of Japan's three most famous hot springs for beautiful skin. Its specialty is yudofu (boiled tofu) made with hot spring water. For 1000 yen, this restaurant offers a drink, yudofu, appetizer, and sashimi!! Great value for money! And the yudofu was very creamy and delicious! #retrotownscape

●Name Ureshino Onsen Banshokaku Shikishima ●Access Approx. 80 minutes by car from Hakata Station on the highway Approx. 50 minutes by car from Saga Station on the highway ●Points There are many hot springs in Saga Prefecture, but I think Ureshino Onsen has the best spring quality by far. The other day, I felt a smooth sensation on my skin, and it's a hot spring that women would love, just because of its name. Ureshino Onsen Banshokaku Shikishima was fully renovated about 5 years ago and has been transformed into a very modern inn. In addition to having several rooms with open-air baths, there are also 8 private baths that can be used for day trips. No matter what you eat, you will be very satisfied. In particular, I feel that they are particular about the dipping sauces, dressings, and condiments. Unfortunately, they are not for sale, so please enjoy them when you have a meal. #Supporting tourism #Saga #Ureshino Onsen #Hot springs #Supporting tourism

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip "Ureshino Onsen" in Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture is famous as one of the three best hot springs in Japan for its skin-beautifying properties. The spring water is a sodium bicarbonate spring, and is known for making your skin melt and smooth when you soak in the water. The hot spring town is full of healing and gourmet food, such as foot baths and hot spring tofu, making it perfect for girls' trips and couples' trips! When I actually visited, I was surprised by the softness of the water, and I can't forget the feeling of my skin being moisturized. Walking through the hot spring town, I was relaxed by the retro atmosphere and the warmth of the local people, and I was also soothed by the gentle taste of the hot spring tofu 🫶🧈. It's great for a leisurely hot spring tour with your partner, and it's also perfect for taking time to pamper yourself on a solo trip. "A trip that takes care of yourself is so comfortable" is what you'll feel at Ureshino Onsen. Be sure to add it to the highlights of your Saga trip! [Access] About 10 minutes walk from JR Ureshino Onsen Station By car, about 5 minutes from the Nagasaki Expressway "Ureshino IC". Parking available 🅿️ Ureshino Onsen #beautifulskinbath #onsentofu #sagatourism #domestictravel #coupletravel #solotravel

#summervacay If you're looking for an easily accessible, off-the-beaten-path destination where you can indulge in a top-tier hot spring experience, then I'd say Saga's Ureshino Onsen (嬉野温泉) is definitely a spot you should bookmark! Super Convenient Transportation: From Takeo Onsen, it was a mere 6-minute Shinkansen ride to Ureshino Onsen – incredibly convenient and practically at my fingertips! Since I had a rail pass, it felt like the perfect side trip to enjoy a beautiful hot spring soak before heading refreshed to my next destination. I also found that the Shinkansen ride from Nagasaki to Ureshino Onsen took less than half an hour, so I realized it's an excellent choice for a day-trip onsen experience too. One of Japan's Top 3 "Beautiful Skin" Onsens: Ureshino Onsen is renowned for its unique water quality and is celebrated as one of Japan's top three "beautiful skin" hot springs. The onsen water is rich in sodium bicarbonate, which is said to be highly effective at removing dead skin cells, leaving your skin incredibly smooth and soft. As someone who appreciates skincare, this was a true blessing! Strolling the Onsen Town: I took a casual stroll through Ureshino's onsen town, and my impression was very positive. Although it was about a half-hour walk from Ureshino Onsen JR Station to the main onsen town, the path took me along the historic "Nagasaki Kaido". This old road was a crucial trade route connecting Nagasaki to Kokura during the Edo period, so it felt quite steeped in history. While I didn't find anything particularly stunning during my walk itself, it was still interesting to feel the echoes of history. Of course, I noticed there are also buses connecting the station to the town if you prefer not to walk. Breakfast Detour: When I arrived, I looked for a place to grab breakfast to fuel up. It seemed like the only place serving breakfast around there was just this one "shokudo" (diner). They were very generous with the ingredients, but I found the noodles to be just okay. I actually noticed that what other people were eating (rice dishes) looked much more appetizing, so if I go again, I might choose to try their rice-based meals! All in all, Ureshino Onsen was a fantastic place to relax, rejuvenate, and experience Japan's unique onsen culture, especially given its excellent value since I was using a rail pass! #Saga #UreshinoOnsen #JapanOnsen #BeautifulSkinOnsen #OffTheBeatenPath #KyushuTravel #OnsenTown #JapanTravel #RailPass #MyTravels

After watching Yato and eating ramen in the evening, we arrived at the accommodation at around 2150. This was my third stay at Ureshino Onsen. I have already collected all the "Japan's Big Three Beauty Baths", and the "#日本三大美肌の浴" are "Ureshino Onsen" in Saga Prefecture, "Hinokami Onsen" in Shimane Prefecture, and "Kitsuregawa Onsen" in Tochigi Prefecture. Currently, only Hinokami Onsen is left that I have not experienced yet. This time I stayed at the "Japanese hotel Wadaya Betsuso, a stay at Ureshino Riverside", which is arguably the most famous hotel in the area and has hosted royal families. "#Wataya Betsuso" was selected as one of the "#Top 100 Japanese hostels" and "#Top 250 popular hot spring hostels". It is also a high-end hotel. It really feels high-quality when you enter the door. The decoration and store merchandise are full of design sense, with a cultural and creative, artistic style. The corridors are full of various works of art. I booked a one-night breakfast plan, which came with a "#Fujimaen" green tea redemption voucher. No wonder the owner of the ramen shop recommended me "#Ureshinotea" when I chatted with her. The room is a 10-mat Japanese-style room located in the "Tawa Building". It is a very ordinary Japanese-style room. No wonder I saw such a good price for a high-end hotel on a Friday on the hotel booking website. It turns out that the Tawa Building is quite old. The large public bath "#御影殿" is located on B1 and can only be accessed by stairs from the 1st floor. The overall design of the high tower building "タワー宮" including the bath is by the master architect "#黒川纪章". It's a pity that the building is older than me, so it is so mottled. There is construction going on outside, and it seems that other accommodation areas will be expanded in the future. I went to take a look outside "#水明荘". The rooms there are more upscale, and there is an outdoor drinking fountain in the corridor. I was a bit disappointed with Buffe for breakfast, there was nothing special about it. This hotel tends to arrange high-end groups to stay in Shuimingsou, so I would not consider booking it again based on the content of this stay.

With the opening of the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen, access to Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture, has become easier. Ureshino Onsen is an alkaline hot spring with a slippery, excellent quality! This time, the hot springs are great, but we'd like to introduce some spots you should definitely stop by after visiting the hot springs! 2nd, 3rd, and 4th photos📍Location: Wataya Besso This is a hot spring inn, but it's also recommended as a day trip spot! The famous Pierre Hermé is located inside the building! This time, we only used the cafe! There is a Pierre Hermé shop, souvenir shop, book shop, etc., so it's a spot that can be enjoyed by people other than those staying overnight! 🚙3 minutes by car from Ureshino Onsen Station 5th and 6th photos📍Location: MILKBREW®COFFEE A cafe located in the townscape of Shiotazu! A cafe that specializes in cheese! You can also enjoy rare welcome milk! The atmosphere inside the store is also excellent! 🚙 15 minutes by car from Ureshino Onsen Station 7th photo📍Location: Cheese Shop Nakashima Farm This is an affiliated store of MILKBREW®COFFEE You can buy many kinds of cheese here! It's irresistible for cheese lovers! 🚙 20 minutes by car from Ureshino Onsen Station 8th, 9th, and 10th photos📍Location: Yutoku Inari Shrine There are many torii gates. If you climb to the top of the hill, you can see a wonderful view. 🚙 25 minutes by car from Ureshino Onsen Station 11th photo📍Location: Takeo City Library A place that was also used as a filming location for a certain famous movie. The building also sells Starbucks and miscellaneous goods, and there is a place to have lunch and a children's library next door! 🚙 25 minutes by car from Ureshino Onsen Station The 12th photo is a must-try when you go to Ureshino Onsen: hot tofu made with hot spring water! It is served at many restaurants! It's also easy to get to, so if you're visiting a hot spring, why not stop by? #EnjoyJapan #Saga #UreshinoOnsen #TakeoOnsen
