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.

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.
