--- The property is not yet rated
JOY GARDEN is an adult-only love hotel tucked in Taku, Saga, offering compact, private accommodation aimed at short-stay and overnight visitors from the surrounding Kyushu area, including nearby Fukuoka. The property is independently run with a small number of rooms (around ten) and presents both suite and double configurations. Staffing is generally described as attentive, with a 24‑hour reception and optional room service; the property admits guests aged 18 and over and several listings note a pet‑friendly policy for certain stays.
Rooms are arranged for privacy and convenience: standard fittings include a flat‑screen TV, in‑room kettle and tea set, air conditioning, private bathroom with bidet and complimentary toiletries, plus a hairdryer and fresh linen. Several units feature a bathtub with jacuzzi/hydro‑massage, and all accommodations list free Wi‑Fi and on‑site private parking. On‑site offerings referenced across listings include an Asian breakfast option, movie selections or light entertainment in some rooms, luggage storage and daily housekeeping or room service where requested.
The hotel sits outside Taku’s centre and functions as a quiet base for exploring Saga prefecture; major regional points and the nearest commercial airport are roughly a 30–40 minute drive depending on traffic. Practical policies commonly noted on booking platforms include checkout around 11:00, adults‑only admission and flexible check‑in; the small scale and on‑site parking make it convenient for drivers and short stopovers. Travellers seeking a discreet, low‑key love hotel stay in the Kyushu region will find the straightforward layout and basic, privacy‑oriented services suited to brief stays.
