2 star hotels in Kyushu

Decent room size for Japan. Mattress was comfortable. Lots of eateries just downstairs. Would be good if there were more power sockets in the room though

All in all is good in the area for this price range. One shower in the 8 beds dorm could be too little if most needs a shower in the morning before checking out by 10 am

Escaping the high hotel prices in Fukuoka on a Saturday, I took the subway for an hour and a half to Karatsu and chose this hostel. The experience was great. It's in a small city, just a five-minute walk from JR Karatsu Station. The front desk had instruction manuals, and the staff's English was fine. The check-in iPad supported Chinese. The room had two separate restrooms and one shower room. The...

The hotel is in a very convenient location and overall the place is quite clean. Our room did have a noticeable smell when we checked in, but having an air purifier in the room helped manage it. The staff were friendly and pleasant to interact with. Overall, it was a good stay with just a minor issue.

Close to the station and generally very clean. Everyone was very considerate. The black tea at breakfast downstairs was particularly delicious; it had a unique aroma. There are many great restaurants nearby, and everyone was very welcoming. Karatsu was my favorite part of this trip.

The room was clean, hygienic, and comfortable. The ambiance was elegant, warm, and romantic. It's conveniently located very close to the train station.

The room was very comfortable, and the front desk staff was very helpful and helpful. We were very grateful! The hotel is located on a high ground, and even the underground floors can see the sea, and you can see many stars at night.

This is truly a hidden gem of a hotel with great value for money. The hospitality, room size, cleanliness, and breakfast all earn it 5 stars. I'll never stay at a resort hotel again lol. I'll definitely stay here again when I visit Ishigaki ^ ^

Nice small hotel. The room is very spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea. There is everything you need. The staff is very nice. The location itself is in a deserted place, it makes sense to stay only for a day or two. There are no shops in the area, restaurants only in the hotel on the coast and they work on schedule at certain hours. So it makes sense to stop by the store and buy groceries for...

I had a very comfortable stay. It was quiet and clean, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. It was also nice that the bathroom was separate from the toilet and spacious. The welcome drink of awamori was also great. In addition, the library in the basement has a good selection of comics, and I thought that it would be okay even if I had to stay in my room due to a typhoon because I had a collection...

It is a beautiful hotel. The view from the veranda on the 2nd floor is wonderful with a good view. A 200m walk from Fusaki Beach Resort, you can also use the beach. Other facilities are available for a fee. This hotel is cheaper than Fusaki Beach Resort and the rooms are comparable. Please consider it when you go to Ishigaki Island 🙆 (I also stayed at Fusaki Beach Resort, but it was a wonderful place...

I used it for 2 nights in early November. I made a reservation in August, but I couldn't go because of the corona, so this time. The telephone response at this time was a good impression, so maybe a great hotel I was expecting what it was. It was my first stay in Ishigaki, but as expected, it was a great answer. I was impressed by the natural and warm response of all the staff. Also, the rooms, amenities...

The lady there was very kind and the homemade breakfast was delicious. However, the facilities are too old and the room floors are worn out.

The check-in was smooth and the room was clean. Thank you.

The hotel is very similar to the style of Hawaii in the United States. You need to drive to get there, but it is very cost-effective. There is a swimming pool, which should be very comfortable in summer. It is not far from Manzamo. It is quiet and comfortable.

They are kind and The room is a bit old, but the appliances are also old, but they work quite well. I wonder if the refrigerator will work, but it works very well. Hmm, you can think of it as a slightly old Gapyeong pension!

The entrance was near the parking lot, so it was easy to take in and out luggage. I would like to use it again.

It's very clean considering the price. When the person next to me started watching TV without earphones, it was really noisy and annoying. I wonder what I should do next time I see them...

It's located in front of Oita Station, so it's very convenient. Plus, there's a convenience store right outside the hotel's first-floor entrance. Soft drinks are available all you can drink. There's no staff at night, so that might be a bit worrying, but... When I stayed, everyone was quiet, so I was able to sleep soundly without earplugs. Good news for (young) men! You can watch XXX videos for free...

It's good that it's close to the station, has all-you-can-drink juice, and offers unlimited manga reading. ...But the biggest drawback is that you can't lock the door to your room. There is a safe in the room, and you can lock your valuables there, but it's frustrating when you think, "Hmm, I'd like to lock the door here 😓." I can understand this if you're thinking, "I can't find any other hotels close...

It should be called a hostel rather than a hotel. Clean, good design and the location are positive points. However, the service doesn't run well: I arrived at 2.15pm, nobody is at the reception desk even though I pushed the call button (like instructions) many times, so finally I could not leave my luggage here and have to wait until check-in time (17h00)!

It is very clean and the staff is very accomodating❣️😍 The location is near in any amenities and rides

Free welcome drinks.toilet and bathroom is common but clean.location is good,near to the train station,convenient store and restaurants .a bit expensive during busy seasons

The key collection area and breakfast area are far from the accommodation, so it's inconvenient if you don't have a car. At the key collection area, there are both free and paid rentals, and they were free to use. If breakfast is included, you go to the restaurant, where you can choose from four types: curry, pizza toast, omelet, and pancakes, and the portions are generous. A soup bar and drinks are...

10 "Clean and comfortable" We stayed as a family of four. Two of us had single beds, and two had sofa beds. It was very clean, like a room in an apartment building. We could park our car in the parking lot right in front, so it was easy to carry our luggage. There were enough facilities for four people to cook, which was very convenient. Only seasonings were not provided. If you use the 4.3kg washing...

A trip to Miyakojima, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan! This island is famous for its beautiful ocean! The most important part of any trip is your accommodation: Review of the Superior Twin Room at the Ecourt Irabu Bridge Premier (Villa-style Accommodation) Check-in: 3:00 PM / Check-out: 11:00 AM (No breakfast, no cleaning). Approximately 40 square feet (12 pyeong), 2-4 guests. Includes 2 single beds, ...

I stayed for 3 days and it was a comfortable stay! The rooms, toilets and baths were all clean. I was a little bothered by the fact that I could hear the neighbors' voices until late at night. I also ordered breakfast, which was very delicious. It's made by one person, so it may take a while if it gets busy. You can choose from 4 types.

We stayed for two nights in early September. The hotel is a little far from the city center, but that meant there was little traffic and it was quiet at night. The room was clean and the Simmons bed was incredibly comfortable. It also had a washing machine, so it was convenient to be able to wash our beach wear right away and use it the next day. Our room was on the first floor, but technically...

I didn't have to worry about other people, I could relax and do my laundry and dry it every day, so it was very easy when I got home. However, there were small ants all over the room, so I had to buy a spray to get rid of them, the cups had cracks in them, and the air conditioner hadn't been cleaned and wasn't working well.

I'm a little late in writing this review. I stayed for two nights from November 21st. The location, the rooms, everything was great. The owners were also very kind. They came to pick me up even though I arrived much earlier than check-in time, and even waited for me even though my flight was quite delayed. We did a barbecue, and rental was only 1,000 yen. Why?! They also told me about supermarkets...

This cottage has a private beach in a very quiet area. It's right in front of the beach where sea turtles swim, making it a very pleasant place to bring children to play in the ocean. The kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils and basic seasonings like salt, pepper, and oil, so we grilled some vegetables and Miyako beef we'd bought and ate it at the table in the garden. We were able to spend a relaxing...

I generally agree with other visitors' reviews. It's a great place to relax and unwind in the suburbs, overlooking the ocean. You'll experience a sense of tranquility you won't find in crowded hotels or resorts. The square layout consists of four rooms. Rooms A and C face the ocean directly, while Rooms B and D face the side. Rooms B and D also offer a bit of privacy, which was nice. My wife recommends...

The view from the window is amazing. You can also rent a car for 1,000 yen a day, so I think it's a great deal. We even rented a BBQ set and had a BBQ! The female owner was very kind.

It was a building with a rather interesting design. The location was fantastic, and it's understandable why private beach rental villas like this are rare and difficult to book. The private beach isn't in a bay, so the waves tend to be high, but being able to enjoy snorkeling without having to move was fantastic. The indirect lighting was stylish and nice, but it was too dark for eating; the dining...

The room is small but tidy, and it's good for a short stay. Nice and quiet! The bathrooms and toilets are communal, but small towels are provided. A bit of a walk from Hakata Station, but there's a convenience store nearby.

The room was clean inside and out, and the tatami mats could sleep up to four people. The Japanese breakfast was quite generous. However, the bathroom was shared, and only on the first floor. There was no air conditioning in the bathroom. The room was mostly lacking in amenities like chairs and teacups. The location is excellent, just over a hundred meters from Jiyuan Station. There's a convenience...

The owner's attitude is a bit cold🤣 but the hotel has Shiba Inu! Super cute💕 The location is very convenient! The area is also very lively, with subways, convenience stores, bus stations, etc. I would still like to stay here next time💕

Actually, it was a ryokan so it had a nice atmosphere, a bath, and clean facilities, but I think there were fleas on the blanket, so I got a lot of scars on my stomach I got bitten by fleas.......

This old house is fine for a one-night stay. Services are limited, including no hot water boiler and no Wi-Fi. The value for money is reasonable, but don't expect too much. Bathrooms are shared.

The room is a traditional Japanese tatami. The hotel owner is a very friendly old couple. There is also a staff member who speaks English so communication is no problem at all. The facilities are a bit old, but overall they are clean and tidy, and it is very comfortable to stay there☺️

This is a great place for outdoor lovers on a budget.

Is it okay to stay for a while?

Big rooms and also a shared onsen which i loved

The house is a bit old. There are two elderly people in the store. If you don't speak Japanese, you can use translation software. There is a bus stop at the door, which can go to the airport and Okawa Falls. Remember to bring your own change, as the bus does not provide change!

My family and I stayed in a Japanese-style mountain view room for three nights. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

This minshuku is located quite near Miyanoura port, the owners are super nice and they have a public bath that is perfect after a trekking day in Yakushima.

I recently stayed at a traditional Japanese onsen hotel, and it was an amazing experience. The hotel offers private onsens, which provided an incredible level of privacy and relaxation—perfect for anyone trying onsen for the first time. It was so peaceful and serene, and the entire experience felt like a perfect escape from the stresses of daily life. The breakfast was simple yet delicious, offering...

Very clean, convenient transportation, rich breakfast, mountain view, very close to Yufu Station, good, but the hot spring does not feel natural

Family hotel, about five rooms, very warm and comfortable, ten minutes walk from the station. We checked in at 4pm and the communication was basically understandable.

It seems like a good place for those who are visiting alone. It was clean and I was satisfied with the price. I will go now~

According to the regulations, check-in is not until 4 pm. Maybe because of the hot weather and because we were walking hard, we were allowed to check in an hour early. The location is also 5 or 6 minutes walk from the station, which is very convenient. The rooms are all on the second floor. If you bring a big suitcase, it will be a bit hard to move up there. There is no separate shower in the room...

A traditional Japanese B&B with about four rooms in total, all of which are quite clean. The breakfast is very rich. There are two public bathrooms and toilets in the rooms. It is quite close to the main street and JR station.

Considering the value for money, I'd give it 5 stars. My room was in the middle of the first floor, and it was perfectly spacious and quiet throughout. However, if you're looking for more light, the second floor might be a better choice. My room had a night-time/daytime feel. Despite the large window, there was a high concrete wall right in front of it, blocking out almost no natural light. It's not...

The room had all the necessary accessories and amenities. It was very clean. Clean, tidy, comfortable, safe, and bright. Garbage was carefully sorted and cleared, and we ensured that all guests followed the rules. Transportation was very convenient. The hotel also had parking. Parking was very convenient.

Room brightness: ☆4 It's not dark, but I wish it were a little brighter. Office work is possible. February 2024 Update: I stayed in a different room, and it was quite dark. I wonder if the brightness varies from room to room? Wi-Fi: ☆4 It gets a little slow at night. I recommend this budget-friendly inn for business travelers staying multiple nights. The availability of extension cords and 3-outlet...

I had a room that was smoking, I am a non-smoker, but the room did not smell at all. I was quite pleased by that. Good parking availability, close walking distance to many restaurants and bars.

室内に使い放題のマッサージ機があり、疲れがとれました。冷蔵庫、とくに冷凍庫小さいのにしっかり冷えてました！お得に泊まれてよかったです。ありがとうございました！

This was my first time using travel assistance, and they accommodated my early check-in. The single room was spacious enough, and it had an air purifying dehumidifier and a massage chair. I only stayed one night, about nine hours, but it was a comfortable stay.

Facilities: Average, slightly outdated Cleanliness: Needs further improvement Environment: Riverside room, great night view Service: Although there was a language barrier, the staff were warm and friendly. Very quiet; a good night's sleep is more important than anything else for travelers.

Facilities: The facilities are complete and clean. The soundproofing is only so-so. Hygiene: Clean and hygienic, no issues. Environment: Located by the sea, the view and environment are very nice. Service: The service is warm and attentive.

We were upgraded to a room with a view of Karatsu Castle from the window. The staff were very helpful and checked public transport information for us. Nijinomiyahara in Karatsu Bay is less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

The Japanese-style rooms aren't ideal for older people; you have to change shoes before entering the hotel and there's a seating arrangement in the room. The view is absolutely stunning; you can enjoy views of Karatsu Castle from the room, especially the beautiful night view. The service is also very good; they can communicate in English.

I was worried about checking in because I arrived at 12 noon, but I was pleasantly surprised. The guesthouse owner was very friendly and welcoming, showing me around and explaining things. I was satisfied with the room, and the guesthouse was in a great location.

Facing the sea, it's convenient to go anywhere. You can walk to Karatsu Castle, Seaside Pine Field, and the showerheads of Yuri and Makachin. It's a recommended accommodation for the Yuri pilgrimage route.

Orrs 一番です😎. Such a classic style with Okinawan original clothes and really cool hand made hats from S America 🤙

Very stylish clothing; occasional pop-up selling artisan pottery.

Amazing place to release your stress. It's very close to the beach and the room is huge. Recommend for someone who's looking for the chillest place in Okinawa.

Nice large room in Chatan subdivision of Okinawa. Attached to a vintage store, the room is very large and clean. The manager is very pleasant and helpful and will supply you a community map with recommended restaurants identified. The area of Chatan is fairly depressed so many stores are either closed or have limited hours. A grocery store is a 10 minute walk. The seawalk is a couple blocks away. ...

Centrally located by the sea wall. Walking distance to many restaurants and bars. Large room with a comfortable King sized bed. Very clean and private. Made my 3 weeks in Oki go by to fast.

Good location, comfortable bed, nice shower and bathtub, very clean, and excellent customer service. The only drawback was the sink does not have hot water.

Great location, has a private bath

Before getting married, my mom and I were looking for a cost-effective ryokan to travel to, and both my mom and I were very satisfied with this place. It was a quiet, country-style place that I would love to visit again. It felt like going to my grandmother's house. Anyway, I had a great time👍🏻

This was the best accommodation I've had so far in Japan. It's a great experience to live in a building that resembles a Japanese house, and there's also a private hot spring that families or couples can use together. I was very tired, but it felt like it was all gone. Be careful because the water temperature is hot. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided smell so good that I'm looking into...

It wasn't too far to walk to the tourist attractions, and it was nice that the area was dark and quiet at night! The bedding was soft and warm, so I slept well. ㅎㅎ The Wi-Fi didn't work, so I recommend downloading movies or dramas! The owner's grandmother and son were very kind!

The bedroom is ok, amenities are ready. including TV, refrigerator, sink, washbasin thermos It's considered okay for people who have never slept together like in Japan.

Just across the street is an alley with Kirinko and famous Yufuin stores. Because it's at the bottom of the mountain, it's quiet and you can wake up to the sound of birds. If I had some free time, this is where I wanted to take a break for a few days. It's close to the bus stop and there's a Lawson convenience store. I was also able to enjoy the romance of a small open-air hot spring.

I had never tried a Japanese style ryokan and sleeping on a futon so I tried it at this establishment. Its not for everyone but I slept okay. The room was clean and had the basics. It's a quiet area within a short walk to buses, trams, and a JR line but is about 20-30 mins from Kumamoto station (if you catch the right train). It just depends on your itinerary if you would like to stay here or not...

Classic Japanese ryokan experience. Most outstanding Japanese breakfast ever!!! Succulent mackerel. Heavenly rice. And the most delicious homemade miso soup with fresh mushrooms and daikon. Perfect way to start a vacation on our first day.

You sleep in a futon on a tatami, so expect to get a sore back

The location is great: close to both the metro station and the bus stop, and at the same time a very quiet area, because the hotel is not located near the road. Great place! And Suisenji Park is within walking distance (a very beautiful place!) The room was spacious, clean, cozy. All the amenities were present, everything worked. The owner met us, showed us everything, explained, and walked us to the...

Nice home feeling with friendly host and staff. Very helpful. Breakfast included is very good. Only few minutes walk to misotenjin-mae tram stop. Hidden coin laundry around the corner. Hotel is highly recommended for budget travellers.

Staff were very accommodating. Our room comfortably fit 5 people and luggages easily. They also assisted us with our luggage forwarding.

I was able to leave my luggage there before check-in. It was close to the station, so it was easy to leave my luggage there and head out to Kannawa.

The rooms are large and spacious, and the location is on the outskirts near Beppu Station, but it is a hotel with good value for money.

The receptionist was also very nice and it was a great stay. ✨ It was close to the station and there was a supermarket just a short walk away, so I'm glad I chose this hotel. ☺️

The front desk clerk didn't speak English very well, but he was very enthusiastic and dedicated. Thumbs up. Not only did he help to store the luggage for free before check-in, he also took the initiative to deliver it to the room before check-in. The facilities are indeed a bit old, like the feeling of a hotel in China in the 1990s. The location is very good, just next to the JR station, less than...

Great location, big room, nice

My family of five (2 adults and 3 children) stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days, and the owner was very kind. On the first day, he gave us a large fireworks set and prepared a BBQ for us. He was a friendly and kind owner. Apparently, the owner, Alex, speaks four languages! The room I stayed in had a view of the ocean. I'd love to come back!

We chose this lodge based on the good reviews and stayed here for four nights as a family of four (my wife, myself, and two boys in the upper grades of elementary school) during our summer vacation. It was our first time staying at the same lodge for four nights in a row, so we were a little nervous, but we were very happy with our choice. The fact that we could have a BBQ, the great location, the...

Highly recommended for family trips. The rooms and beds are spacious, so even a family of 4 or 5 can stay comfortably and affordably as a family room. It has a refrigerator, kitchenette, and washing machine, so it's also recommended for staying for a few days. The location is a little far from the city center, so you'll need to rent a car.

Very nice airbnb and the owner Alex was a great host and professional driver/guide. I really recommend their service. Breakfast was only provided with our first night. A little bit far from everything.

Alex, the property owner, was very helpful and nice. Thank you for everything!

Stayed a few years ago. He brought me rice balls and miso soup for breakfast. Feeling like a petit pension with spacious construction. However, because it was far from the city, the taxi fare was expensive. Unfortunately, when I stayed, the washing machine was broken and it was very disappointing. It feels like home, so I think it's good for those who want to relax. The washing machine was broken,...

You can book/use both indoor and outdoor private onsen which is really nice! and the staff are nice and helpful. Also the area this Ryokan is located in the city is very convenient and nice! And is very close to the seven hells of Beppu.

This guesthouse was one of the most touching experiences of my journey in Japan. From the moment I arrived, I felt a rare sense of warmth and calm. The fact that it is run by elderly hosts gives the place a unique soul — everything feels slower, more genuine, and deeply human. It truly feels like stepping into a traditional Japanese home. The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive, always present...

Great location near Kannawa. It feels more like a guesthouse, very Japanese in style. Hyotan Onsen is very close by, but after 9 PM, there's hardly anyone on the streets, and it's quite dark, which felt a bit scary. Check-in was quite casual; no registration needed, but there was a 250 tax to pay. The host didn't speak English, so communication was difficult. As soon as I arrived, they offered a...

Even the location is good but it difficult to go to and there is no sign of the ryokan at all. The room is very old and authentic which it almost 200 yrs. But request ice will cost 500 yen which should be free servicea.

This guesthouse is full of travel charm. You can reserve the bathtub for private use, and the meals are enough for 2 to 3 people, with sashimi, tempura, steamed dishes, and Western food—so much food you'll be spoiled for choice. You could buy eggs nearby and enjoy steaming them in the garden, but you won't be able to eat that much. If you ask the landlady for alcohol, coffee, pudding, etc., she'll...

The facilities are relatively old, the location is easy to find, the three Obasan are very Nice, did not meet other tourists, basically equal to private soup, the food is average

We had an incredibly lovely stay here. The location is top-notch with a view of the sea and the sunset. The owners are super sweet and helpful. They gave us delicious rice and a lovely gift afterwards. (Tip: bring a nice souvenir from your own country for them). The rooms were spacious, clean, and contain everything you need. Large balcony! The road leading there is a bit steep, so it's nice to have...

Very relaxing getaway. Amazing view!

Our corner room faced the ocean, so we were able to enjoy a beautiful view. Listening to the sounds of insects and birds was also very relaxing. The room was very clean, and cooking utensils and appliances were provided, so I felt that every detail had been carefully considered. There were delicious restaurants and bento shops nearby, so I didn't cook, but I would recommend this place to anyone who...

The views of nature and the sea were amazing. The spacious space was quiet and relaxing. It was great that everything we needed was provided.

I love this place, stayed for nearly 3 weeks here. Views, kitchens, cool historic home, big rooms, firm beds (typical Japanese style) , clean, lovely hosts & free range chickens. Very simple rooms & only 4. It had everything I needed. It is on a hill, with a 20 minute walk to the closest store, so definitely have a car. Also please be quiet …respecting quiet times in the morning & evenings, the walls...

The house is on a hillside, about 2 kilometers away from the bus station. The problem is that the road passes through the cemetery of Motobu Town. The landlord is very friendly. The house is an old wooden house, but it is very clean and has a wide view of Sesoko Island.

I stayed here for a few nights for work in January 2026. I understood from the website that the rock bath was closed due to the off-season, but I wish the toilets were cleaned every day. I used the toilet on my first day and there was still dirt left on it until my last day... Also, they don't provide slippers, so it's a good idea to bring your own during the cold season. You'll be walking on cold...

We stayed as a group of three. The room had bunk beds and was clean. There were two spiders in the private bathroom, but the shower pressure was stronger than the rock bath, so if the rock bath is busy, the private bathroom is a viable option. The staff recommended paying an additional 1100 yen for dinner, saying that on the first day you could get sashimi and on the second day you could get extra...

I stayed with them for two years in a row, 10 days the first year and 40 days the second. The meals were delicious after the hard work every day, and I enjoyed drinking Yakushima shochu every night with them as snacks. When there are many guests, the large public bath is very comfortable to use, and although it's a little further away, I also recommend public baths with good quality water such as Onoma...

The food was varied and varied, and the taste was not bad for me. am. There are not many places to eat due to the location, so meals are included We recommend staying at There is also a washing machine, etc., so there is no inconvenience for long-term stays such as on-site I can spend it. The point I want to improve is staying in the annex, so go to the bathhouse It is necessary to go outside to another...

This time I was traveling to Yakushima with my family, so I stayed at Maedakeso, which is like a cottage! There seems to be a Japanese-style room, but it became a cottage because it was a Western-style room. It was a bunk bed, so I couldn't deny the feeling of a forest school, but lol I searched online and found that there was Wi-Fi equipment, but it seems that it is only in the main building (Japanese...

A nice hotel with a nice location close to Karatsu Castle!

It was a rather peculiar hotel. Only one middle-aged woman sat at the front desk, and the lobby was filled with various "antiques" but very quiet. Opposite the lobby was a pavilion with a clock that automatically chimed on a fixed time. Overall, it was alright, considering the price.

It seems to be run by a family, and the location is good, far from the train station but close to Karatsu Castle. Those who arrived early could check in directly. This situation is relatively rare in Japan, which is good.

The hostel facilities are relatively retro, and the price is reasonable. It is close to the tourist attractions. You can see Karatsu Castle across the river in front of the door. There is a funny Taiko clock across the street, and a little man comes out to beat the Taiko at every hour. It doesn't knock until late at night.

I liked the hotel atmosphere because it gave off an old Japanese vibe. The person checking in was friendly and nice.

It's a small hotel and it's a little inferior to the major chain hotels, but it's worth the price and it's okay. A bit far from the city center. The parking lot is narrow and the number of cars is small. I could see Karatsu Castle from the window of my room, but it was farther and smaller than I expected because it was quite far away. It is within walking distance to visit. It was a plan without...
