Hotel Cultia Dazaifu

It was an incredible experience exploring Japanese culture. During our family trip, we booked both lunch and dinner, and all the meals were exquisitely prepared with creativity. The hotel environment was quiet and private, with a remarkable garden design that allowed me to feel the season-changing flow. Every corner of the garden was well taken care of and full of the love of nature. Nakamura-san, the hotel manager, provided the best service and represented the quality of the hotel. Hopefully, I'll be lucky enough to book a room when the Plum blossoms are in full bloom next time.

A lovely stay in a restored house within a thoughtful blend of old and new. Delicious meals in the hotel’s French-Japanese restaurant. Situated right by the side entrance to Daizaifu temple, this restored 120 year old house is full of character and history. We were received in a manner befitting a lord, and after the usual formalities, we were walked over the another building where our rooms were. This was located along a busy street, but once in the room we could not hear the traffic noise. We had a house to ourselves and it was simply beautiful. It was a blend of old and new. The back portion where the bedrooms and the tatami sitting area was obviously old. This was characterized by lower door frames and had classical proportions to it. The sitting room has tea making facilities. The fridge contents are chargeable. It even a chargeable snack box in case you were hungry! A closet here also was where you could hang your jackets and clothes. The bedroom has two large single beds that were stuck to the ground. One could not make them into a double bed. There’s a writing table here and two air cons to heat up the room quickly. The beds were firm and yet comfy. Overall the room was cozy and we slept well despite not having any curtains to block out the morning light. The bedroom was also next to an open air car park. But this was quiet at night, so no issues. The master piece goes to the bath room. It is large with double sinks and a whole stack of amenities. We were very impressed. Air-conditioning here keeps the room toasty while we got ready. It actually faces the passageway and into the small Japanese courtyard. There are windows from the bath room that look out. There is no shortage of light in the bathroom. The shower and bath tub is Japanese style. The cedar wood bath tub was lovely and gave the house a memorable wood smell. Shower amenities are provided. The toilet is beside the front door. This was particularly cold in the mornings. The food at the hotels restaurant was exemplary. We enjoyed our dinner here. The French-Japanese style food was delicious. Breakfast was also here and it was a wholesome Japanese breakfast. Overall a great stay here and would recommend it to everyone!

Our room #301 was lovely. It has its own garden, tatami room, bedroom, and Japanese bath. The room is a little walk from the main building where we ate and is newly renovated and lovely. Nostalgic Japanese historic building and interior. Excellent location to see the autumn colors as all the museums and shrine are a 5 to 10 minute walk away. The food was delicious and the restaurant has a beautiful Japanese ambience, Japanese style breakfast and Western style dinner with a Japanese 7 course flare. The only minor negative is the #301 is a door away from another room and we could hear everything, including the man's allergic throat clearing and toddler laughing and crying, but they were all sleeping by 10pm and so it was okay. We live only an hour's drive from this ryokan and are already planning our next trip to stay there as we loved it that much. A special shout out to Yoshihara San for ensuring excellent and kind service from the staff.

這酒店是古民宅改造的旅館，很有味道。無論裝修、食物、設施、服務等都非常好。

今回、koukotei？204に一泊させて頂きました。レストラン併設館とは徒歩2〜3分の別邸でした。 残念だった点 1、カードキーでは無く普通の鍵が2個付き、入室まで2回使用するのが面倒でした。 2、道路側に併設なので車の騒音がうるさくて非常に居心地が悪過ぎる。 3、2階に部屋があるタイプですが、階段が急過ぎて危険レベル。 4、古民家をリノベして室内は綺麗ですが、道路側の仕切りが前面障子で消灯してもカーテン無しなのでめっちゃ明るい。
