An unfriendly and dirty Japanese Ryokan
If you are looking for Japanese Ryokan experience, this is not the place. However It’s outside appearance is. It’s dirty. The service is below par. Typical Japanese hospitality doesn’t exist. I can say it because I live in Japan 3 months out of a year and I have traveled and stayed in Ryokan all over Japan. Upon check in, the lady just showed room without showing the whole place. We paid for two nights but we left just after one night stay.

Very impressive stay with cheap price
Good: Nice environment (It’s a cultural heritage with well preserved traditional style of architecture) Nice and friendly staff, I would have lost my camera if I hadn’t received the help from their friendly staff. Cheap accommodation with Japanese styled decorated room. Comfortable and cozy in general. Very convenient- 4 mins walk from Gion Metro Station, and around 15 mins walk away from Hakata train station. Nicely-decorated lobby ;) Bad: Minimal noice isolation- might not be suitable for travellers who’re sensitive to noise. Shared bathroom - very clean but it might not be convenient for someone who requires a private bathroom Otherwise I’d recommend to my friends to stay in 鹿島本館。

The place to stay !
Quiet, but very central to main station and underground line (easy walking distance). Very reasonable price. An excellent authentic ryokan with public baths. Friendly and homely. Highly recommended in every respect. You will not be disappointed!

Charming in the outside, run down on the inside
Charming on the outside but a bit run down on the inside. The owners are kind, but the ryokan could use a facelift and some airing out. The rooms smell somewhat musty, the shared bathrooms smell of sewer, and the common showering areas have seen better days. The rooms themselves are spacious and the staff clean and provide new towels and robes each morning.

Last minute booking success
We arrived in Fukuoka without planned accomodation and booked the hotel on the night. As it had only just been done, when we got there it hadn't appeared on the system yet. The owner (I think) of the hotel took his time out to look into the issue until he could find the booking and was really helpful in doing so. His attention to customers, both to us and others, was great! The room itself was pretty decently sized. As advertsided, it was a traditional room with futons. The hotel also has a nice garden inside along with some other nice features to enjoy, making it feel like a tradional experience.

Somewhat Lacking...
This was the second time I stayed at Kashima, and there will not be a third. I do not know if I was wearing "rose colored glasses" the first time I stayed or not, but this time around I could not help but notice just how run down this ryokan is. While it has charm and character, it is in desperate need of renovation, including more insulation and soundproofing in the walls. And bedding that looks like it hasn't been washed and reused for several years... And a thorough dusting...

Typical Japanese house
It is typical Japanese house with large tatami room. Good wi-fi and very comfortable environment. Since it is not sound proof, it is a bit noisy at night while someone talking in the other room. No elevator, so you have to carry your luggage via the staircase. Overall, it is good place to stay and I really enjoy my stay over there.

Old World Charm at the Heart of Hakata
If you want a taste of Japanese living, try staying in a Ryokan. This one, in particular, is very well-located with easy access to nearby bus and subway stations. It is a few steps away from some very important temples and shrines in Fukuoka. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and it is very near shops, including the grand Canal City, as well.The ryokan itself offers old world comfort at a very reasonable price. The staff are efficient and courteous. Breakfast was authentic Japanese style and the amenities are adequate. The Japanese garden at the center is very nice.

Old Japanese Ryokan.
This is very old style Japanese Ryokan. This hotel was the worst one while I was in Japan for almost 2 weeks of my backpacking trip. And also they gave me a room right next to the street so I couldn't sleep until almost 3am. There was too much noise until 2AM from drunken people and local traffic.

Traditional, amazing staff!
It's an amazing experience, the downside is it's very noisy, walls are thin and floor creaks when anyone walked past. People next door came home at 1AM and started brushing teeth for 15 Minutes. Safe to say I wasn't too happy with that...

Good location, but a bit aged!
The location of the ryokan is relatively good (3 minutes to subway), however, the hotel and its facilities are a bit aged. Noise of the other guests can be heard clearly in your room. The hotel doesn't provide breakfast anymore.

Forget Good Night Sleep in this old building
This is terrible place for travellers sensitive to night time noise. Rooms don't have any sound proof and you can hear every single thing your next door neighbours are saying if they are talking a bit louder. First night, we couldn't sleep but next door had a small child so we didn't make any complaint. On 2nd night, a couple were not sleeping until 2.30am and talking loud and moving around inside their room. We had to complain and the reception staff had to go to tell them off. Overall, it can be very noisy unless you have polite Japanese local guests as your neighbour.

Good location for its price
The hotel has a reasonable location within the city. Though we didn't make it in time for the Gion festival, it's location makes it a prime spot if you're in to watching cultural activities like that. The staff are very friendly, and they know enough English to answer any basic questions you may have. The in-house breakfast comes at an additional cost and you need to reserve it the night before, but it's quite good albeit a little pricey (just make up for it with the bottomless rice). The rooms have the basic necessities, but take note that there is no refrigerator, so you have to either ask to store stuff in the staff fridge (which is a bit pushy, even for travelers). There is no private basin, either, so you need to brush your teeth or wash your face in a communal area. The padding of the rooms is quite poor, so you can sometimes hear people on the other side if they're being rowdy. Overall, it was a rather pleasant experience, pretty much what you'd expect for the price you're paying.

Warm and friendly check-in. The walls are thin so you may need to encourage or ask the receptionist to encourage loud guests to quiet down. Great location with easy access to the metro rail and bus stops. Very walkable.

The room was nice with a garden view. The bathroom was just down the hall. The Ryokan had furniture and other objects stored in the hallways which made it look unorganized. The location was great and the price was satisfactory.

This is very run down Japanese. I stayed several before but this is the worst. The service was bad. We asked the staff to call for a one taxi but he insisted we needed two. He refused to help us. When we walked out the Ryokan, a taxi came by. Four of us all fit in with our luggage. We had no problem at all. I would never stay there again.

Traditional ryokan in beautiful old building.
The ryokan is conveniently located near subways station and restaurants. |It is easy to go from the ryokan to Fukuoka Airport. The building is old and has lots of charm. On the other hand the wqalls are very thin and the floorboards are creaky. The old man at the reception was very friendly and helpful.
