Ryokans in Higashimatsuura

"This property is 3 minutes from the station and has surprisingly comfortable beds. That's it for pros. This property is strange and uncomfortable to stay at. Every room has 2 signs in it telling you what not to do. It would be hilarious if they weren't serious. There are threats of fines if you move furniture and warnings about how the fire alarm will randomly go off is certain doors are left open. Yet for all these precautuons, it is very run down. Theres a big stain on the sofa. The cookware was filthy. There's no kitchen towel to help dry cookware when you wash it. There's mold in the shower. There's also a creepy floor access panel by the washer. Where does it go? I do not know. There's no dryer, however you wont be able to wash your clothes anyway. There's a room guide with English to explain how to use the various appliances. For the washer, it says to turn it on and set the course and go. But that doesnt work. The water to the washer had to be activated first. The previous person staying here didn't figure it out because there was still soap waiting in the washer. Overall, a huge disappointment. Just save your sanity and stay in a hotel. "

"I was a little wary staying at a shipping container hotel, but I was blown away by this place. Really everything was perfect about it. The room was spotless and had all the amenities you could need.The staff were very friendly and helpful, and were prepared to deal with a language barrier. It even has laundry and free light meals that were quite good! And all for a great price. Next time I'm in Karatsu this will he my go-to."

"Merci à tous pour l’accueil, la propreté, la chambre était vaste, le petit déjeuner était excellent, Konod nous a accueilli tous les jours avec le sourire. Nous remercions toute l’équipe. Il y a des tas de belles choses à voir à Karatsu. Jacqueline et Françoise "

"Very helpful and friendly staff. The whole hotel is beautiful and our room was just stunning-very tasteful and incredible views"

"Amazing place, beautiful and very central, with friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. "

"Old fashioned Japanese hotel, but clean environment. Free coffee on arrival and light breakfast was offered. Open air onsen was very nice Only issue was, there was no toilet inside the room which things a bit interesting at night when the human nature was calling. Otherwise lovely hotel with friendly staff"

"this place is so chill and my child love it"

"The checkin process was super simple. They have a tablet in the unit that you use to communicate to their agents. The agents spoke English which made everything that much easier. They answer the tablet everytime and quickly. Wish they had a bathroom upstairs."

"No tattoos allowed in the common Onsen. "
