★●Hot Spring Trip♨ to Saga, Japan●★

​2 nights and 3 days at the Ryokan with hot springs

​

If there was one goal I had for this Saga trip, it was the Ryokan♨.

Must!

It has to be a tatami room

It has to have an outdoor bath

​

​

​

I really liked the blue bedding, but I heard it's a matter of preference, so I decided to look for more.

There's no feeling of relaxation in a place with so many Koreans...

​

The outdoor bath is so beautiful!

I decided to stay at Kasuien Ryokan, which includes a yukata gift.

​

Kasuien Ryokan Ureshino (Hotel Kasuien / 華翠苑)

Address: 333 Ureshinomachi OazaKo Iwayagawachi

Ureshino Saga 843-0304

Contact: 023-480-0166

​

Rating is a solid 10 out of 10!!!!!

★★★★★★★★★★

10/10 recommend!!!

I would definitely recommend Kasuien Ryokan Ureshino again!!!!

If you're traveling abroad with your family, or if you're looking for a hot spring trip, I'd definitely come back.

It would be great to send Mom and Dad on a filial piety trip too.

​

​

It was a really good choice.

Everyone was so nice, there wasn't any smell, it was a traditional ryokan like you see in the movies, the hot spring water was nice, there were lots of shampoos, and it was clean.

​

​

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

​

We went as a group of 2, so each person paid 15,270 yen!! Totally reasonable!!!!

​

For one night, we paid about 160,000 won each in Korean currency, which included:

​

-A beautiful yukata gift

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

-Dinner that evening (course meal, authentic Japanese style)

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

-A huge room with a great view of the town

-Shuttle bus service to the bus terminal

​

This includes everything!!!!!!

That's why it was really nice ㅋㅋ

​

You spend the whole day at the Ryokan, so you don't have to spend money outside.

​

Dinner was amazing, and the ladies serving us were all dressed in yukatas and so nice.

​

The course meal menu itself was great, and the menu that explained the course meal even had our reservation manager's name printed on it, so it was awesome.

​

​

​

​

​

The staff here will open the door to your room, give you an explanation, and serve you green tea before you leave.

​

​

​

​

​

The Ryokan is so nice ㅜㅜ

You can see a great view of Ureshino town outside the window.

​

​

​

​

​

There's a TV and a safe.

We put our passports and other important items in the safe since the staff told us they'd be coming in to make the bed when we were out for dinner.

​

​

​

There's also a water bottle and a refrigerator, and if you finish the water, you can refill it with ice water at the counter.

​

​

​

​

The Ureshino green tea they boiled was so delicious.

But we never used this shower room and bathtub even though we spent a whole day at the Ryokan ㅋㅋㅋ

We showered and washed our hair in the underground hot spring bath with the glowing water ㅋㅋ

​

​

​

​

​

We washed our contact lenses and splashed water on our faces at the sink outside ㅋㅋ

I stayed at Ryoko's house in Tokyo before, and it had the same structure. I wonder why it's like this.

There's a separate shower room and toilet.

Everywhere I go here, I only see signs that say , so ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Let's go to the outdoor bath!!!!!

We decided to wear the hot spring yukata that was in our room.

Lulu

​

Why is this yukata so comfortable? The color is pretty too.

​

​

​

The men's outdoor bath and the women's outdoor bath are both on the 9th floor!

​

​

There are baskets like these when you go inside.

We were able to take pictures since there was no one else there.

​

You put the clip on the slippers you're wearing and then put one on the basket too.

It feels like you don't really need it... ㅋㅋㅋ

We were the only ones there, so we didn't really need the clip since we could easily find our basket ㅋㅋ

​

​

And we went straight down to the highlight, the underground hot spring bath on the 1st floor.

​

​

​

It's so warm and soft.

It's so slippery.

My body is really glowing.

Wow.

It's so so so amazing.

​

It's like I put on Johnson's baby oil 30 times, that pink one.

I haven't even washed my body, let alone used body oil or even lotion, but my skin is glowing and radiant.

​

​

​

When we went to the table that they were guiding us to, our dinner for two, for our room 651, was already set.

​

​

​

​

​

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

It's tofu, but it's so soft, like I've never experienced before~

​

​

​

​

​

There was also a chicken miso wrap.

Hmm, it's salty. It's salty ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

​

I said “Mizu kudasai” (water please) like 10 times ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

They also serve salmon pie.

I don't like salmon...

​

It's just a pie with real salmon in it.

It's unique (not delicious but polite expression........ㅋㅋㅋ)

Interesting.

​

​

​

​

There's really salmon inside the bread like the picture ㅋㅋㅋ

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

​

Not all foreign food can be delicious ㅋㅋ

​

I was 200% satisfied with the atmosphere, the service, talking with the manager, and taking good photos.

​

​

​

​

​

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

​

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

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

​

The meat is so soft

This was my first time having shabu-shabu in green tea broth, but it was delicious.

The sauce is delicious too.

​

​

​

​

We finished dinner with a Ureshino green tea pudding for dessert!

​

Itadakimasu. Thank you for the meal.

Arigatogozaimasu. Thank you~

​

-I didn't know about adding "masu" until now. lol

It means past tense!

• Arigatogozaimasu: Thank you~ (present tense)
• Arigatogozaimasita: Thank you~ (past tense)
  

ㅋㅋ I learned a useful expression and went up, but,

​

When we checked in, we checked what time we wanted to eat dinner.

​

It was 6 p.m., and there was a reason we checked!

​

When we went back to our room after dinner,

​

​

​

They made the bed like this!!!

It's a real Ryokan!!!!

It's pretty, it's pretty

​

​

We went down to the basement.

We washed up before going into the hot spring, and even just splashing water on my body made it glow ㅋㅋㅋ

​

Hot spring water is so mysterious.

​

I love that slippery feeling.

​

That's why everyone goes to hot springs

​

We were the only ones in the outdoor bath under the moonlight.

​

Oh, I need to swim... ㅋㅋㅋ It's too shallow.

​

Tooruru

​

Enjoy the outdoor bath while listening to the sound of water dripping and rain.

​

We had a feeling.

This was our last hot spring bath ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

We both ran out of energy...... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

Oh!! I like this about here too.

​

There are almost 30 shampoos.

There's a separate shampoo bar!!

I picked out the one with the best scent and most beautiful color from here and washed my hair.

​

There are 4 different kinds of body scrubs too, so I used the one with the best scent, and

There's facial peeling gel too, so I exfoliated.

​

They have everything.

​

After getting out of the hot spring, I dried my hair and put on body lotion, and there's horse oil cream too ㅋㅋ

​

I put on a lot of Shiseido skin and horse oil, and my face is glowing heh heh

​

​

​

​

​

The manager is taking a picture of me drying my bangs ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

​

I only washed my face, put on makeup, and went down to the restaurant for our reserved breakfast.

​

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

They guided us, and

​

​

We ate a really beautiful and neat Japanese set meal.

​

I ate hot spring tofu again, and it's so delicious.

​

​

And the 1,000 yen coupon to use at the souvenir shop that was included in our room!!!

​

But everything is expensive and there's nothing really worth buying.

It's big, but there's nothing to buy..... ㅜㅜㅜ

​

But there's that hot spring doll that I thought was pretty from the beginning, and that's exactly 1,000 yen ㅋㅋㅋ

​

The manager said I could use the whole thing since they didn't need it, so I bought it!!

​

​

​

That tiny hot spring doll is 1,000 yen.

​

That's for my younger sibling!!
