Hotel Karae

Hotel Karae

📍 1783 Kyomachi, Karatsu
★★★ 9.1 (239 reviews)

"All in all is good in the area for this price range. One shower in the 8 beds dorm could be too little if most needs a shower in the morning before checking out by 10 am"

Karatsu Seaside Hotel

Karatsu Seaside Hotel

📍 4 Chome-182 Higashikaratsu, Karatsu
★★★★ 9.3 (99 reviews)

"I recommend staying in the East Wing; it's newer. There are so many activities available, remember to bring your swimsuit! On the 8th floor, there's an open-air hot spring pool. On the 2nd floor, the relaxation area has four saunas; follow the marked order and timings for a full 26-minute session. At 3 PM, there's a complimentary welcome cake in the hotel lobby. Both the included dinner and breakfast are buffet-style and the food was plentiful and delicious."

Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort

Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort

📍 4 Chome-9-20 Higashikaratsu, Karatsu
★★★★ 8.7 (246 reviews)

"We had a 4 night stay at Mercure Saga and had a wonderful time! The lobby is very spacious and beautifully presented. In the afternoon, they provided afternoon tea with snacks and complimentary drinks, which was a lovely touch. We stayed in an ocean-view room with futon beds. It was very spacious and comfortable for our family of three. The breakfast buffet was definitely a highlight, there was such a wide variety of food to choose from! The staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and welcoming throughout our stay. Special thanks as well to the Kudon services for their great hospitality. Thank you again for such a pleasant stay. We were very impressed and will definitely come back again!"

Karatsu Daiichi Hotel Riviere

Karatsu Daiichi Hotel Riviere

📍 1-9 Higashimachi, Karatsu
★★★ 8.8 (68 reviews)

"Good hotel but staff was a bit stiff, they looked like robots with no emotions (especially the male staffs). Other than that it was fine!"

ONCRI-KARATSU

ONCRI-KARATSU

📍 1669-55 Hamatamamachi Hamasaki, Karatsu
★★★ 8.9 (40 reviews)

"Great spot if you’re looking to unwind in tranquillity. We took the room with bath in sea view. The view was no doubt fantastic but not a great idea in winter as the shower is also in open air. The bath is facing the beach so bath with cautious (tested and yes, passerby can see ya if you stand up to move from the tub). Since it’s open air, the shower curtain tends to get into your face when the wind blows. Nonetheless, the room was spacious which was what we wanted. Breakfast was sumptuous. Enjoyed the peace along the beach."

Yoyokaku

Yoyokaku

📍 2 Chome-4-40 Higashikaratsu, Karatsu
★★★ 9.8 (39 reviews)

"The traditional Ryokan had great service and delicious food. The garden was also beautiful. I would like to visit again next time."

Hotel R9 the Yard Karatsu

Hotel R9 the Yard Karatsu

📍 1535-3 Yamamoto, Karatsu
★★★ 8.8 (48 reviews)

"The room was very clean. The air-conditioning was also comfortable. There was a microwave in the room, so we had frozen food for dinner at the nearby Doramoli. The shower and water pressure were great, so we had no trouble taking a bath! It was great that we were able to get one frozen food per person for breakfast from the lobby! I chose curry rice, and while the curry roux was very delicious, the rice wasn't that great. However, since it was free, it was understandable. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!"

The Trailerhouse Village Yobuko Seaside

The Trailerhouse Village Yobuko Seaside

📍 552-12 Tonoura, Karatsu
★★★ 8.5 (1 reviews)

"The front desk staff didn't speak English. I had ordered a BBQ dinner, but when I checked in, they said they wouldn't provide it and that we should go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and come back. Luckily, I found that food had been prepared in the room, but the staff didn't know the details. I showed him the printed Japanese order, but he still said they didn't have it. It was already very late, and I had been driving all day. This misunderstanding was really upsetting!"

"They were very kind and polite."

Grand Base Karatsu Ekiminami Hotels in Karatsu

Grand Base Karatsu Ekiminami

"We stayed here to go to the Karatsu Kunchi festival, and it was great. We booked for four people, but when we called ahead to let them know we were only staying for two, they prepared two beds for us. There were four towels provided, so it was nice to be able to change them for showers in the morning and evening. It was an apartment-style room, and the kitchen utensils and refrigerator were large, making it very comfortable. There was a washing machine and a bathroom dryer, so it was nice and dry in the morning. Every corner was thoroughly cleaned, and we had a comfortable stay. I would like to book again next year. Thank you very much ☺︎"

Ryokan Wataya Hotels in Karatsu

Ryokan Wataya

"This is a traditional hotel that is completely relaxing and immersed in the historical atmosphere. Architecture and atmosphere: Walk into the Mianwu is like walking into the time tunnel. Wooden architecture and exquisite Japanese garden design are perfect for people who like historical and architectural aesthetics. Every corner can feel the quaint charm of the Taizheng and Meiji era. Hot spring facilities: Although the scale of the hot spring is not comparable to that of a large resort hotel, the water quality of the "Tangjin Hot Spring" is smooth and the environment is quiet, which can make people enjoy the ritual of bathing quietly. Service: The staff showcased the ultimate Japanese hospitality (Omotenashi), from the lead at check-in to the catering service is very thoughtful, delicate and courteous. Recommendation: Although it is an old building, it is very clean and tidy. For travelers who love to take pictures or pursue traditional cultural experiences, this is definitely Tangjin's first choice."

Ryokan Oomasa Hotels in Karatsu

Ryokan Oomasa

"The Japanese-style room was spacious and comfortable, but the hotel didn't have an elevator, so we had to carry our luggage upstairs. Fortunately, the staff were very helpful. Dinner was plentiful and the ingredients were fresh – highly recommended!"

Karatsu Seaside Hotel ★★★★
"The sea view was beautiful. The food quality was high 😋. I could see the sun rising from behind the small mountains. It's a shame I stayed in the west wing; I could only have breakfast in the east wing and couldn't use the east wing's hot springs and other facilities (which seemed newer and nicer)."

Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort ★★★★
"We booked a Japanese-style room with a sea view balcony. I really like the bike rental, shuttle service and refreshments! They agreed to book the shuttle for me via email because I cannot phone calls. Staff are nice. Room is clean and you can enjoy the public bath, including a small sauna room. All in all, this is a good place to stay with your family!"

"Rooms are quite spacious for japan, smoking area available and parking was free of charge. No 7-Eleven or Lawson nearby, only a small supermarket - this hotel is only recommended if you have a car as otherwise everything is hard to reach."

"This was my family's second visit after 6 years ago, and it was just as good. In particular, the free 45-minute use of the outdoor hot spring with a sea view was the best in terms of satisfaction and healing."

"An antique and very unique Japanese hotel. The hotel staff are very nice, warm and keep their distance from guests. If the hotel can provide free shuttle service to Karatsu Station all day long, it will be impeccable."

Hotel R9 the Yard Karatsu ★★★
"Located very close to Yamamoto Station. It is a container house. There are 7 people in quarantine, and each person will be given a free Ding Ding rice meal when checking in. The room has a microwave. Although the room is small, it is very practical. It is very ok to stay for one night."

OnoueRyokan ★★
"Excellent little hotel. The room looks very new and looks to have been recently renovated. Set on a high ground, the view is excellent from the room we stayed in. The inn keeper are all very friendly and helpful. Most do not speak English but we are thankful for Google Translate. That was an efficient bridge across communication barriers. We stayed three days and used the stay to explore Karatsu and Saga. We had a breakfast and dinner plan. The food is excellent. The manager was worried we will be bored with the menu after two days and changed the main dish for us. Very thoughtful. It was an extremely nice stay. It also provided charging points for electric vehicles and is pet-friendly. It was an excellent hotel to escape from the hustle of city life."
