Grand opening on July 1, 2025. Located directly in front of Hamazaki Beach with sweeping views over Karatsu Bay, ONCRI-KARATSU is a seaside resort nestled in a secluded area that feels like a private villa retreat, cherishing the blessings of the sea and the connections it brings. This exceptional location is also known as the place where Eric Moller, a British merchant who once lived in Karatsu, was so moved by the beautiful coastal scenery that he built his holiday home here.

As you step into the Hotel, a magnificent ocean unfolds before your eyes. Embraced by the unique nature, time begins to flow slowly. Passing through the front desk and entering your Room, you are greeted with an extraordinary time beyond the ordinary. There are no rules for how to spend your time here. Enjoy a special day that is uniquely yours.

A culinary accommodation located on a hill in Yobuko. Enjoy the panoramic bath overlooking Genkai Sea, as well as sunsets sinking into the sea and sunrises rising from it, visible from the terrace and lobby. Experience the changing scenery with the seasons and time. Spend a relaxing moment surrounded by nature with your pet. We offer pet-friendly rooms, an indoor dog run, an outdoor dog run, and a self-grooming room—services that will delight dog lovers. Indulge in luxurious seafood dishes featuring Yobuko's specialty: fresh transparent squid from Saga. Enjoy "Karatsu Q Saba," fully farmed mackerel available year-round for safe and delicious dining, along with squid shumai dumplings and Saga beef kaiseki cuisine.

Yobuko once flourished through whaling in the Edo period. Named after Jinroku Nakao, head of the whaling guild who supported that prosperity, NAKAO JIN6 HOTEL is a decentralized Hotel created to bring back the town’s vibrancy. From the main building by the harbor, enjoy sweeping views of the fishing town’s seascape and sunset, then unwind in the on-site JIN6 Sauna. In an annex renovated from a traditional townhouse on the street of one of Japan’s three major morning markets, you’ll find Yobuko’s heritage woven into the architecture—traditional stonework and distinctive thick pine beams passed down through generations. Experience Yobuko’s culture as a whole with a stay at this decentralized Hotel, enjoying your time as you explore the town.

Mizuno Ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn nestled beside the stone walls of Karatsu Castle. From every room, you can enjoy panoramic views of Karatsu Bay, with a refreshing sea breeze drifting through. Step through the historic gate of a former samurai residence and into guest rooms overlooking the ocean. Savor seasonal cuisine made with carefully selected ingredients, including fresh seafood from the Genkai Sea and premium Saga beef, to enrich your stay.

A riverside Hotel where you can enjoy a resort-like stay, even on a business trip. Our concept is to “soothe your fatigue in an exceptional location” and “spend time in refined comfort.” From the large windows, take in superb views of Karatsu Castle, Niji-no-Matsubara Pine Grove, and the Matsuura River. Enjoy private moments as the quietly flowing Matsuura River stretches out before you. A new guests-only large public bath, “Niji-no-Yu,” has been added—an ideal space to refresh after work or travel. Forget time and savor your stay at a leisurely pace.
