[Japanse Ryokan Aanbeveling] Saga Ureshino Onsen - Kasuien Ryokan

★●Hot Spring Trip♨to Saga, Japan●★

​2-night, 3-day hot spring trip Ryokan day

​

If this trip to Saga had one goal, it was Ryokan♨.

Absolutely!

It has to be a tatami room

It has to have an open-air bath

​

​

​

I really liked the blue blanket, but it's said to be divisive so I decided to look for something else.

There are so many Koreans here, it doesn't feel like a place for relaxation...

​

That's how I decided on Kasuien Ryokan, with its beautiful open-air bath and yukata included as a gift.

And it's so beautiful!

Rating is a real 10 out of 10!!!!!

★★★★★★★★★★

10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Ureshino Kasuien Ryokan - I recommend it again and again!!!!

If you're going on a family trip abroad, or if you're going on a hot springs trip, you'll definitely want to come back again.

It would be perfect to send just Mom and Dad for a filial piety trip.

​

​

It was a really good choice.

Everyone was so kind, there were no smells, it was the traditional Ryokan from the movies, the hot spring water was great, there were lots of shampoos, and it was clean.

​

​

The total cost for one night was 30,540 yen, all included.

​

We went as a pair, so each person paid 15,270 yen!! Super affordable!!!!

​

This price of about 160,000 won per person includes:

​

-A gorgeous yukata gift

-A 1,000 yen coupon (about 10,000 won!!) to spend at the souvenir shop inside the hotel

-Dinner on the day of arrival (traditional Japanese course meal)

-Breakfast the next day (Japanese home-style meal)

-A large ryokan room with a view of the town

-Shuttle bus service to the bus terminal

​

This includes absolutely everything!!!!!!

That's why it was really good ㅋㅋ

​

You spend all day in the ryokan, so you don't have to spend money outside.

​

Dinner was amazing, and the servers were all wearing yukatas and were so kind and lovely.

​

The course menu itself was great, and the menu explaining the dishes even had our team leader's name printed on it! It was amazing.

​

​

​

​

​

A staff member comes by and opens the door, explains things, and even pours you green tea before you leave.

​

​

​

​

​

Ryokan is so good ㅜㅜ

The view of Ureshino town from the window is beautiful.

​

​

​

​

​

There's a TV and a safe.

The safe is there because they said they'd come by to make the bed while we were at dinner, so we kept our passport and other important items there just in case.

​

​

​

There's water and a fridge, and they refill the water with ice water at the counter if you run out.

​

​

​

​

The Ureshino green tea they made was so delicious.

But this shower and tub - we never used them in the entire day we spent at the Ryokan ㅋㅋㅋ

We used the glowing hot spring water in the basement spa for showering and washing our hair ㅋㅋ

​

​

​

​

​

We used the sink outside for things like our contact lens cases and washing our faces ㅋㅋ

The Ryoko house in Tokyo I stayed at before was similar, so it's really interesting how they designed it that way.

There's a separate shower room and a separate toilet.

In every restroom here there's a sign that says

<Please don't flush toilet paper. It hurts the toilet! Please!> so ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It's time for the open-air bath!!!!!

We decided to go out in the yukata provided in the room.

​

This yukata is so comfortable, and the color is so beautiful

​

​

​

Both the men's and women's open-air baths are on the 9th floor!

​

​

When you go in there are these baskets.

We were able to take pictures because there was no one else there when we went.

​

You stick one of those clips on the slippers you bring and another one on the basket.

I'm not sure if it's really necessary... ㅋㅋ

Maybe because there were no other people, but we could find our basket right away without using the clip. ㅋㅋ

​

​

And we went straight down to the basement hot spring spa, the highlight.

​

​

​

It was so warm, so smooth.

It's so slippery.

You know, your body literally glows.

Amazing.

It's so, so, so amazing.

​

It's like putting on Johnson's baby oil 30 times.

Even before I washed my body, I hadn't even put on body lotion, let alone body oil, but my body was glowing, shining brightly.

​

​

​

We went to the table they'd assigned us, and our dinner, for two, for room 651, was already set.

​

​

​

​

​

The famous Ureshino hot spring tofu!!!! It was so soft and delicious.

Two pieces of tofu, but I'd never experienced such softness before.

​

​

​

​

​

There was also chicken miso with lettuce wraps.

It was salty, so salty ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

​

I said "Mizu kudasaai" about 10 times, I swear ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

Salmon pie is also served.

I don't like salmon...

​

It's just pie with salmon in it.

It was different (but I said it politely... ㅋㅋㅋ).

Interesting.

​

​

​

​

Just like in the picture, the salmon's actually in the bread ㅋㅋㅋ

Everything else was salty, but I couldn't finish the pie... ㅋㅋ

​

It's not like everything from another country will taste good ㅋㅋ

​

I was 200% satisfied with the atmosphere, the service, chatting with my team leader, and how the pictures came out.

​

​

​

​

​

The next course was Ureshino green tea shabu-shabu!!!

​

My favorite food is??????????

Shabu-shabu!!!!!!!!!!!

​

The meat was so tender,

It was my first time having shabu-shabu in green tea water, but it was delicious.

The dipping sauce was good too.

​

​

​

​

Dinner ended with Ureshino green tea pudding for dessert!

​

Itadakimasu. Bon appetit.

Arigatogozaimasu. Thank you.

​

-I never knew the meaning of "masu". I know now, haha.

It's a past tense expression for "~shita"!

• Arigatogozaimasu: Thank you!
• Arigatogozaimashita: Thank you for everything.
  

ㅋㅋ I used that handy expression, and when I was going back up,

​

They asked when we'd like to have dinner when we checked in.

​

It was 6 pm, and there was a reason they asked!!

​

When we got back to the room after dinner,

​

​

​

They had already made the beds!!!!

This is a real Ryokan!!!!

It's so pretty, so pretty.

​

​

We went down to the basement.

We rinsed off before getting in the hot spring water, and even just rinsing off with water made my body glow ㅋㅋㅋ

​

Hot spring water is so amazing.

​

That slippery feeling is so nice.

​

That's why everyone goes to hot springs.

​

We had the open-air bath all to ourselves under the moonlight.

​

Ah, I have to go swimming... ㅋㅋ It's too shallow.

​

Tooruru

​

Enjoy the open-air bath while listening to the sound of water and rain.

​

We knew instinctively.

This was our last hot spring bath ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

We were both completely exhausted...... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

Ah!! One more thing I loved here.

​

There are almost 30 different shampoos.

There are separate shampoo bars!!

I picked out the one I liked the most, the one with the nicest scent and prettiest color, and washed my hair.

​

There are also 4 different types of body scrub, so I chose one with a good scent.

They even had a facial peel gel, so I exfoliated my skin.

​

They have everything!

​

After I got out of the hot spring, dried my hair, and put on body lotion, they had horse oil cream ㅋㅋ

​

I put on plenty of Shiseido skin, then horse oil too, and my face is glowing haha.

​

​

​

​

​

My team leader taking a picture of me drying my bangs ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

I just washed my face, put on makeup, and went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast, which we'd booked.

​

I was going to say the name of our room, but they already remembered us ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

They showed us to our table,

​

​

And we had a beautiful, carefully prepared Japanese set meal.

​

I had the hot spring tofu again, and it was delicious as always.

​

​

And the 1,000 yen coupon for the souvenir shop that was included with our room!!!

​

But everything was so expensive, there wasn't much I wanted to buy.

It's big, but there's not much to buy... ㅜㅜㅜ

​

But there was this hot spring doll I'd been wanting to buy since the start, and it was exactly 1,000 yen ㅋㅋㅋ

​

My team leader said I could use all of it and buy it, even though he didn't need anything.

​

​

​

That little hot spring doll is worth 1,000 yen.

​

This one is for my younger sibling!!
