타카츠 주변 온천지 × 만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

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.

Every summer vacation, we stay at this seaside Hotel. The Rooms in the East Wing and the amenities are truly wonderful, and we always look forward to them. One small disappointment was that last year there was a bottle of water by the sink in the bathroom, but this time it wasn’t provided. Also, the staff’s service was excellent. In the morning, when my child and I were swimming in the sea, I’m not sure if it was a staff member or a volunteer, but someone was carefully picking up litter on the beach. It was wonderful. Thanks to that, there wasn’t any trash at all on the beach in front of the Hotel, and we could swim comfortably. We’ll be back again next year. We hope it will be even more upgraded—haha.

This was not just a clean Accommodation, but a place that felt like a “second home,” filled with warmth and thoughtfulness. In every corner of the Room, we could feel the host’s care and affection, and throughout our stay we felt comfortable and genuinely welcomed. The meals were also truly outstanding. Each dish was prepared with great care and sincerity—delicious, and an unforgettable taste. We had a truly wonderful time and are sincerely grateful. We would love to visit again.

Four of us—female friends for 50 years—stayed here together. The front desk staff were very pleasant, and in the lounge we enjoyed a variety of drinks and snacks both before and after dinner. Both dinner and breakfast offered a wide selection, including made-to-order hamburgers right in front of us, beef shabu-yakiniku, sashimi, and more—everything was excellent. All-you-can-drink beer and many other beverages really surprised us. It didn’t seem like there was all-you-can-drink sake, though. The meals were enjoyable for both adults and children. The baths were spacious, clean, and comfortable. We were also happy to have ReFa showerheads and hair dryers. This is a Hotel we would love to stay at again. Thank you very much.

The Room had a great view, and the large public bath was very relaxing. Also, being able to use the rental bicycles was helpful, as it allowed us to visit places that are difficult to reach on foot.

As this building is a renovated former Ryokan, sound insulation is limited and you may hear noise from neighboring Rooms or the shared hallway. However, the in-room amenities have been updated, and the shower water pressure was stronger than at typical Hotels—no issues at all. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, and we enjoyed freshly grilled fish that changed daily. More than anything, the male staff were wonderful—thoughtful in every detail, from nearby sightseeing recommendations to dining suggestions and even checking on the air conditioning in the breakfast venue. After checkout, since we had time before the bus to Karatsu Station, they kindly told us we were welcome to wait inside. We also had a pleasant chat with the owner, and time flew by. There are impressive Hotels nearby such as Mercure and Seaside, but if you want to relax while looking out over the river, Karatsu Castle Hotel is highly recommended. It was a great Accommodation that made us want to stay again when visiting Karatsu. Thank you very much.

The dashi, seasonings, ingredients, tableware, and hospitality came together in perfect harmony to create dishes that truly warmed the body and soul. We were able to fully enjoy the Karatsu-yaki ceramics. The seasonal flowers displayed throughout the Accommodation were graceful, and the garden pines stood proudly—immaculately maintained. This is a culinary Accommodation where you’ll want to savor every last drop.

We stayed as a family of four with our pet. The four-person room, pet-friendly policy, and the ability to dine with our pet were excellent. It was especially helpful since our dog is elderly. Thank you for handling the forgotten item as well. It was a delightful stay for all four of us together after a long time.

The Room was clean and comfortable, and it was well equipped with appliances and tableware, so we could relax as if we were at home. We didn’t rent a car this time, but it was convenient to have a convenience store and Times Car Share nearby. The provided dishwashing detergent didn’t remove grease very well, so it would be even better if you could provide a commercially available one.

Stayed at Karatsu Kimura Chaya to try squid The squid was very fresh and delicious. The simmered fish head, abalone, and sea bream chazuke for breakfast were all excellent. The view from the window was wonderful, and seeing Karatsu Castle while having breakfast—along with the cherry blossoms in full bloom—made it an unforgettable trip to Karatsu.

I stayed in a dormitory. It seems the men’s and women’s areas are separated, likely to the left and right with the front lounge in between. The building itself is new and stylish, and the Room felt compact (about three bunk beds per Room?), but each bed was spacious. Having a toilet and washbasin inside the Room was especially convenient. Perhaps because of the location, many guests were very well-mannered, and the wash area was always clean, making for a comfortable stay. The Accommodation is part of a shopping arcade building; downstairs there’s a stylish souvenir shop, Chinese food and pasta restaurants, and even a movie theater—such a great modern use of the space. They were showing “National Treasure.” I enjoyed walking around to Tenmangu Shrine, the Former Karatsu Bank Building, the Former Oshima Residence, and Karatsu Castle (a bit far but accessible by bus), as well as stopping by a supermarket. After picking up my stored luggage, it was just a 3-minute walk to the station. With excellent access for exploring on foot, this was an Accommodation I’d love to stay at again. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

A retro-style Hotel located a 7–8 minute walk from Karatsu Station. We also appreciate the front desk staff’s polite and helpful service.

When we ordered extra squid, the Yobuko squid was truly delicious.
