A relaxed Ryokan style establishment with excellent views of the lake and from room 6 the Castle. Quiet and a little distant from the main hotel areas but with the local bus stopping directly at the door. Ebikes and bicycles for hire and only a short walk to the Japanese black pine forest and beach . A pleasant change to business hotels in the city. A very pleasant stay.

This was our favorite hotel on this trip. It has the most amazing view of the castle. You can walk to the castle a short distance or take photos from the hotel. The view from the bedroom is the river view. i enjoy very much The staff are lovely and happy to help. The welcome drink is a great whiskey and beer. It is recommended to book breakfast as you can have breakfast with a view of Karatsu Castle. I'm happy to stayed here.

This hotel is perfectly situated next to the river and an easy walk to Karatsu Castle. I could see the Castle from the wide breakfast room windows and enjoy the river view from my wide bedroom windows. The traffic noise did not bother me even though I am sensitive to noise. And the hotel staff members were extremely helpful and accommodating. The sleeping futons were very comfy when laid out on the tatami mats. The room was very spacious and many times the size of a regular businessman's single room. And there was a Japanese low table and legless chair with seat cushion for those who can use that arrangement as well as a room-wide wood table and bench, which I used for my computer messaging while enjoying the river view. I would return to the hotel again most definitely!

This was our favorite hotel on this trip. It has the most amazing view of the castle. You can walk to the castle a short distance or take photos from the hotel. The view from the bedroom is the river view. i enjoy very much The staff are lovely and happy to help. The welcome drink is a great whiskey and beer. It is recommended to book breakfast as you can have breakfast with a view of Karatsu Castle. I'm happy to stayed here.

比較的交通量の多い道路の側なで車の音が気になるのと、コンビニは少し離れていたので、あらかじめ必要なものは購入して行きましたが、冷蔵庫のスイッチが入ってなくて残念でした。ウェルカムドリンクでカクテルを頂いたのと、朝食をゆったりと頂けたので、嬉しかったです。

This hotel is perfectly situated next to the river and an easy walk to Karatsu Castle. I could see the Castle from the wide breakfast room windows and enjoy the river view from my wide bedroom windows. The traffic noise did not bother me even though I am sensitive to noise. And the hotel staff members were extremely helpful and accommodating. The sleeping futons were very comfy when laid out on the tatami mats. The room was very spacious and many times the size of a regular businessman's single room. And there was a Japanese low table and legless chair with seat cushion for those who can use that arrangement as well as a room-wide wood table and bench, which I used for my computer messaging while enjoying the river view. I would return to the hotel again most definitely!

Extremely comfortable rooms with a great view over the water. Staff are very helpful and the Japanese breakfast is delicious with high quality ingredients. Its highly recommended for the Castle as well as the views.

The property was very close to historical sites and a lot of sightseeing spots. And the view from the window had a nice view of the lake.
