Karatsu Hotels with Gym

The hotel in Karatsu is a new hotel in the station and shopping street, while there are many large hotels on the riverside and seaside. 2 minutes walk from the station. The 3rd floor 1 floor of the commercial facility is the hotel. Simple interior, clean and comfortable stay. The shopping street around is never lively, but there are shops that can taste the yuki of Genkai Nada, including a sushi shop with Michelin stars. Breakfast is at the cafe on the first floor. The toast set, bread and thick cut bacon were delicious. There is no parking lot, the station north exit parking lot is recommended, 500 yen to 12 hours. It was a comfortable Karatsu stay.

The hotel is located by the sea, with convenient parking. It is a seawater hot spring. The so-called Shioyu is a heated hot spring. The hotel is a garden-style Japanese hotel. Wearing colorful kimonos, walking and taking pictures in the hotel’s garden is unique. The front desk issued a coupon for Happy Hour at the bar, and you can have a few drinks at the bar. Breakfast and dinner are good, because it is close to the beach, octopus is a specialty here, and the octopus for dinner is great (sashimi and salt and pepper). It is recommended to stay for 2 nights, and each room has a free private soup reservation. As for the public pool, one looks at the sea outside (Figure 1) and the other is indoors.

I made Hakata nights for Karatsu nights the day before I went to Takeo by private car and booked here by looking at word of mouth. It is a business hotel, but I stayed with the elderly. There was a massage chair, and Simmons' bed was comfortable and happy to rest comfortably. Karatsu's breakfast ”chazuke” is delicious, and we can leave slowly at breakfast and enjoy coffee after meals while watching the riverside shining in the sun. . The staff 々 was not too good, and the distance that answered in detail was good.

お部屋 角部屋だったので、川と海とお城すべてが見える とてもきれいな部屋でした。 通常のツインよりも少し広めだと思います。 大浴場 部屋のユニットバスは利用せず、大浴場に行きました。 シャンプーバーがあり、お風呂も広めですいていて、 洗面コーナーでのドライヤーもゆっくりとできました。 以前はスリッパに名前シールを貼って、他人のものと取り違えないような仕組みになっていましたが、 なくなっていましたので、引き続きしていただけるとありがたいです。 ウェルカムラウンジ 新しく始まったサービスで、フリードリンクとお菓子（グミやマシュマロなど）がありました。 コーヒー、紅茶、ソフトドリンクだけでなく、 ビールとスパークリングワインまであって驚きました。 開放感のある会場で、のんびり過ごすことができました。 駐車場は無料、近くにコンビニもあって便利です。 また利用させていただきます。

The room is very tidy. Although there are not many choices for breakfast, there are many kinds of bags, which taste very good. There are also many choices of drinks. I will go there again next time. The price is very good, the service attitude is very good, and the location is very convenient for me, because Very close to the bus terminal, and there are many photo spots nearby

We chose this hotel as part of a stopover, so we could visit nearby Yobuko (to eat squid). Looking at the Japanese travel sites, it was unclear to me what the difference was between the east and west wing, but I'm so glad to have chosen the east wing which turns out to be their newer addition with premium amenities such as a communal onsen bath by gender and a co-ed rooftop thermal pool/bath that you can go to in your bathing suit. This hotel appears to be owned by DHC, which is a Japanese cosmetics manufacturer because everything in the hotel bears their brand. The nice thing is that their products are very stellar and they are readily available. The communal bath is particularly well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, facial wash etc. They also have a full spa facility with steam and dry sauna, aromatherapy rooms etc It was also a pleasure to have access to the beautiful baths and pool almost exclusively. We spent a lot of evenings after dinner soaking on the rooftop, listening to the sound of the waves. The hotel is about a 30 minute walk away from the center of the city, but it is a beautiful route that takes you past the castle. The entire experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

The bed in the double room is too small and the two are too crowded. I hope that Ctrip can mark the size of the bed when I give the double room (I see that the size of the double bed is marked on the booking). In addition, the distance between the hotel and the train station seems to be a little bit longer than what is marked on the Internet.

This hotel was a really great surprise. Just a short walk from a JR station the hotel is situated right next to the ocean. You can fall asleep listening to the waves. The bathroom had a separated toilet and a big bathtub. The bed was really comfortable and you also had a few snacks as well as a water heater in the room. The city itself is about an hour walk along the beach or you can just take the train into the city. (just make sure not to miss the last one) When we were there (in October 2019) there was a construction side next to the water but since it seemed temporarily. Maybe ask before booking to get a room away from the construction side (still with ocean view)

Yoyokaku is a traditional and authentic ryokan that offers gorgeous, old-world architecture, comfortable rooms, fine kaiseki dining, a gorgeous garden and signature Japanese hospitality. In a way, it is sort of an extension of Karatsu by emitting a sense of history, tradition and culture that visitors to the area will definitely appreciate. While we do enjoy the traditional ryokan experience, we tend to shy away from them because of some of the compromises that typically accompany a stay in one of them, such as poor sound insulation (including creaky floors), the lack of heat insulation during the cold Winter months and slow internet speeds. If our stay at Yoyokaku is any indication, most of the shortcomings are nonexistent here, while all of the charming aspects of a traditional ryokan stay are in abundance here. First, the property itself. The architecture, decor, landscaping and furnishings are all otherworldly... each small step down one of the charming wooden corridors made us feel like we were slipping furthe back in time (at least to the Meiji era, if not earlier.) The subtle nuances are very difficult to explain in writing; thankfully, the Chairman (and the current owner's father), Akihito Okouchi was a wonderful host and walked us through the property, explaining many of the subtle aspects of the craftsmanship involved in the construction (and restoration) of the property, as well as some of the history behind Yoyokaku as well as Karatsu in general. He speaks pretty good English, by the way, which is partly why Yoyokaku is quite popular among foreign guests. The current Okami-san (the proprietress and the Chairman's daughter-in-law) was an English teacher prior to marrying into the family, so communication will definitely not be an issue should your Japanese skills not be up to snuff. The magnificent and immaculately maintained garden is dominated by old ”Matsu” (Japanese Pine Trees), which really gives this ryokan a sense of place. As an aside, nearby Yoyokaku is one of the country's three most famous pine groves (called Niji no Matsubara.) There is a small gallery of Karatsu-Yaki pottery by famous local artisans that is on permanent display, and also available for purchase. This is another thing Karatsu is know for, and will provide you with a nice history lesson just by staying at Yoyokaku. We chose a room called ”Tonbo” (十坊), room 211, which is a corner room on the ground floor with an awesome view of the garden. It's purely a Japanese room - no sofa, no sitting chairs, Western beds... the room is of the Tatami variety, and has a low table in the living room and you sit on the floor (albeit on Zabuton cushions.) After dinner, the staff will lay out the Futons; in our case, since the room had two sections, they laid out the Futons in the room adjacent to the living room, so there was no need to have the table dragged off to the side to make way for the Futons - I could continue working on my laptop (and all of the accompanying el

Self-driving will be more convenient, because it is almost a few minutes walk from the railway station (East Tangjin / and Dota / Tangjin), and the bus passing by is only running until about 5 pm. If you want to take a taxi to the hotel, please be sure to get off at Tangjin Station. There are more taxis here. There is a staff member who let you choose welcome drink, and also asked if you want to use the family style that night, each section is used for one hour, until 10 pm. The bathroom in the room is slightly smaller, so I asked if I should use the family style. The brightness of the lights has a lot of adjustment, and the air conditioning and heating are also very sufficient. The electrical socket is insufficient but there is a drag su, and there are 4 plugs. There is no Japanese phone number to ask the staff to help call the taxi, they are very friendly and willing to help. Extra breakfast, you can eat while watching Tangjin City, the scenery is very wonderful.
