Takeo Kyotoya: Stay in a romantic old inn from the Taisho era and enjoy the slow pace of a century

#July2025
When visiting Takeo Onsen in Saga, why not slow down and step into this Kyoto-ya Ryokan, established in 1910? It's an eight-minute walk from JR Takeo Onsen Station. While the building may appear dated, it exudes a nostalgic charm. The inn is located in the heart of the hot spring district, surrounded by a wide selection of restaurants, so even if you're not planning a dinner trip, you won't have to worry about dining.

The hotel exudes a rich Taisho romantic ambiance. The antique furniture, gramophones, and antique music boxes and ornaments are all authentic. Many of the collectibles are even displayed and played regularly, allowing guests to not only see but also hear the sounds of centuries ago. In the morning, sipping free coffee in the lobby, choosing a cup of your choice, and listening to the melodious tunes of a century-old music box will make you feel like you've traveled back in time.

The rooms, most of which feature Japanese tatami mats, are spacious and tranquil. While the amenities may not be as modern as those of modern hotels, such as the need to wait for hot water and weak water pressure, and the lack of a kettle in the room, requiring you to bring your own thermos to the counter for hot water, the overall experience is well maintained and does not compromise your comfort. The receptionist is friendly, and they try to spread guests out during check-in to minimize disturbance. This makes it a great choice for families and those seeking a quiet and relaxing stay.
