Best Ryokan in Karatsu
The western style room was AMAZING. The ryokan has it's own bathing facilities which are also awesome.

Very considerate and caring services
Dinner was exceptionally nice. A very nice outlook.
It would have been a good sleep if the pillows were softer and not so high.

또 가고싶은 료칸 우오한
조용하게 여유를 즐기는 여행으로 가라츠. 우오한을 완전 추천합니다.
바닷가 앞이라 산책도 좋고
대욕탕 전망도 굿!! 프라이빗 노천탕도 너무 좋아요
진짜 강추!! 아침 조식 퀄리티도 너무 좋아요
다음에도 또 가고 싶을 정도입니다.
료칸 바로근처 초밥집도 꼭 가세요!!
인생 초밥을 만날 수 있습니다.
The hosts are friendly even though they speak little English. Parking is sufficient. Room is clean and tidy. Food is delicious, especially dinner. Supermarket is right opposite the onsen, convenient to shop. The only thing concerns me is lacking of charging ports.
