We are located at the heart of the Karatsu town, the best location for your sightseeing plans

Karatsu has been the bridging town connected to the mainland of Japan since the past. From cultural heritages to nature like mountains and the Genkai Seas, Karatsu never fails to amaze. Our resort is right next to “Karatsu Castle” and the “stone fence path”. In just 4-min walk you can also see the “former Takatori residence”, the important tangible cultural property” in Japan. Tourist hotspots are all within reach.
