Immerse yourself in the historical architectural beauty at a traditional Ryokan in Saga and Karatsu.
A traditional Japanese-style Ryokan preserving the charm of the Meiji and Taisho eras. Enjoy a relaxing stay and delightful meals with us.
I visited again after three years to enjoy the full tiger puffer course. It is delicious every time, and I never get tired of it. The hassun, soup dish, and takikomi rice were also excellent, and I ended up drinking quite a lot again. Of course, the ara course and other courses are also very tasty, but I still think Yoyokaku’s tiger puffer course is the best. The staff and everyone at the Accommodation were very pleasant, and the building and garden felt spacious and relaxing, so I was able to unwind once again. Thank you for upgrading us to a wonderful Room.
カズkk 8/6/2026The beauty of the building and the garden always brings me a sense of calm. The quiet wooden corridor leading to the Room, and the garden view from the Room, are truly wonderful. I’m deeply drawn to how this historic property remains impeccably clean and filled with a serene atmosphere.Breakfast is also memorable—simple yet carefully prepared dishes such as Kawashima tofu and barley porridge are genuinely delicious. I appreciate that it’s not a buffet; being able to enjoy a relaxed meal while looking out at the garden really enhances the overall stay.I usually visit with my family, so our time here inevitably feels rushed and too short, which is a shame. Someday, I would love to come alone and spend an unhurried day reading in the library.
