Ryokans in Karatsu

The onsen pool on the rooftop was awesome. The spa facilities were huge. You need at least 2 days to enjoy all of them. The basic room without onsen was spacious with an ocean view. Breakfast and dinner at the buffet and restaurants were in good variety and quality with local ingredients. Will love to visit again

First, this place is really great and an incredible bargain. It is located on the edge of the old castle grounds, only minutes walking to Karatsu Castle. The views of the river from the room and of the castle during breakfast are fabulous. The comfortable futons and quiet comforters were great. Our twin room had a small attached bathtub and toilet but we used the wonderful private ofuro each evening. We stayed in room 201, next to the wide staircase, above the ofuro bath. This room is the most protected from the sounds of road traffic but the din of road noise is still there some. I am a light sleeper and my wife and I slept great here! If you like Japanese style breakfasts then you will love it here. We walked through the nice pine forest down to the beach, as well as thoroughly exploring the castle. We had a great lunch at DonDonTei, down the street from Riverside. The value of where this inn is located and the quality of your stay are first class, in our book. After a month in Japan, this 2 night stay was truly one of our highlights!

Wataya is a gorgeous building set in a beautiful Japanese courtyard. Short and easy walk from the Karatsu JR station with bus stop outside if you are carrying lots of luggages and don’t want to walk. The shopping mall and supermarket right opposite is great and you can even have a haircut there. The tatami room is spacious and spotlessly clean. My room is facing a japanese garden and I can see the koi carp swimming in the pond, while enjoying a cup of green tea. The Onsens are impeccable so as the interior deco in the room and lobby. Having Onsen in the morning amidst the sunlight is just too much an indulgence. The staffs are super helpful trying to help me to book a restaurant over the phone in Japanese. The breakfast is tasty and filling, food presentation is so beautiful I felt sorry to eat them. I stayed for 2 nights only and I wish I could stay longer next time I come again, hopefully very soon~~~
