Guest Reviews

• Lieselotte (7/5): - Das Essen war schmackhaft. Das Zimmer hatte keine Fenster zum öffnen, man hatte keine Aussicht.
• Joan (9/5): Lovely traditional ryokan - This is a lovely traditional ryokan with good size rooms and hot spring baths. It is possible to book a bath for private use. Our room had a view of the garden. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A very good Japansese breakfast was served and we booked dinner there too on one of our nights. Plenty of fresh and varied food. Good location about 15 mins walk from the train station and 5 mins from the bus station. Lovely garden. All good
• TSUYOSHI (5/5): ザ・昭和の宿 - 外観は雰囲気抜群 露天風呂、浴場が思っているよりも狭かった 風呂桶がガタガタで足が痛かった 朝ご飯が、、、
• Aiting (9/5): 很适合放松和给自己充电的地方 - 非常好的日式旅馆，服务周到，房间很大，泡温泉也泡爽了（虽然空间不是很大）。
• JEONGMIN (6/5): -
• taki (7/5): 食事が良かった - 露天風呂が1つで男女一方しか入れない‼️
• Jessica (10/5): One of the best stays in Japan! - Everything was perfect. The breakfast was delicious, the rooms were spacious and comfortable (with a great view!), location was fantastic too. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, especially Takeo-san. Thank you for making our first visit to Karatsu so memorable and showing us japanese hospitality! Everything was perfect!
• Sasarose (9/5): Excellent staff, delicious food, and comfortable room - The staff are highly accommodating and pleasant. The cuisine is delicious, and the accommodation is comfortable. The communal bath facilities are rather confined.
• Kim Yue (8/5): -
• Hiroko (5/5): 期待程ではなかった -
• AKIRA (8/5): -

• R.K. (8/5): 唐津を堪能するために良いホテルです。 - ロケーションが良いです。徒歩圏内で唐津内の観光名所を見物できます。唐津の旧家を温泉旅館にしたもので、雰囲気を味わえると思います。 室内温泉はあんまり大きくないです。露天風呂も別に設置してありますから、時間帯をみて2回楽しまれると良いかと思います。
• JUNKO (9/5): 良き時代の日本の宿 - 建物は、歴史を感じられ、とても趣きのある日本旅館でした。女将さんはじめ、従業員のみなさんが感じ良くて親切でした。お食事も個室でプライベートが保たれて良かったです。また行きたくなる旅館です。
• 川上 (5/5): - 人が少なくて、落ち着いて過ごせた。 設備が古い。温泉ではなかった。
• Lai Fan (10/5): - It is my second time to this hotel. Very nice experience! Will comeback again if having chance.
• シゲト (9/5): - 歴史のある建物 温泉の泉質 スタッフの対応 夕食の会席料理、佐賀牛がメインでしたが、その佐賀牛が少し硬く残念でした。
• SHUKO (7/5): -
• Robyn (10/5): Amazing, authentic, and a real privilege to stay there - Absolutely amazing to experience an authentic Japanese ryokan with incredible traditional breakfast. So pleased I discovered this place. The staff were extremely helpful and made you feel like part of the family. Room was huge and bed was very comfortable. I appreciated being able to make a private booking for the onsen and have it all to myself. If you have a car, definitely visit the Okawachiyama pottery village. Stunning pottery in a very picturesque location. Staying at this ryokan was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. I loved everything!
• Winter (8/5): Very good - The breakfast and onsen were great. Only a short stroll from everything and friendly staff.
• Hei (10/5): Exceptional -
• YoungShin (10/5): 또 오고싶어요~ - 한국인에겐 좀 추울 수 있는,.. 베란다에 샤워실, 화장실, 세면대가 있는 느낌이였어요 새벽에 넘 추웠으나 비데가 있어 넘 천만다행 오래된 느낌이나 낡진 않았어요 관리가 잘 되어있고 청결도도 좋아요 온천은 물이 뜨겁진 않아서 그냥저냥 잘 즐길만했어요 응대는 좋으시나 제가 일본어 영어 둘다 원활하게 하는 편은 아니여서 좀 헤맸으나 파파고 들고가세요 아예 소통이 안되진 않아요! 포근한곳이였어요 직원분들 모두 인상적이시고 좋아요 기회가 된다면 다시 방문해서 다 누려보고싶네요 ㅎㅎ
• ?? (4/5): - 美味しい海産物を食べるために選んだ宿でしたが食事は並レベル、期待外れでした。 通された部屋は洋室で高い天井の重厚な造り、その天井やドア、窓枠などは今どき見られない骨董美術品を思わせる素敵なものでしたが昔ながらの浴室とトイレが一緒の狭い空間に洗面台、不便でした。部屋の暖房も効きが悪くコントロールが難しい部屋でした。
• Crow (9/5): Overall, the stay is wonderful, and we'd love to stay at Wataya again in the future. - The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is quiet. It is particularly thoughtful to provide a dedicated dining room of dinner for us only so that we could enjoy the dinner without any concern of infectious respiratory diseases. The dishes are delicious. The dishes are delicious except one dish is a little bit too salty, but maybe it's simply because we are used to lighter-flavored food.
• Choi Chu Gregor (10/5): - 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.
• James (8/5): A great authentic experience - Very old world charm. Dinner was fabulous. Rooms were very spacious. Was a little tired with some odd pieces of junk that might be better stored away
• タツロウ (6/5): - 中庭は良かったが、値段を考えるとイマイチ
• David (10/5): We had a peaceful and relaxing stay - It was beautiful and historic
• Laurent (9/5): The warmth of the reception, the service and kindness of the staff were exceptional - We were touched by the exceptional quality of the service and kindness. The ryokan is a lovely building well situated for visiting the castle, the early Meiji villa’s and the pottery shops. The breakfast and dinner were of excellent quality. We were fully satisfied.
• Andrew (10/5): We really enjoyed our short stay. If we had known we would have planned to stay longer - Comfortable beds, beautiful room. Lovely staff All good
• Irene (10/5): Perfect for solo for romantic or family. Highly recommended. - Everything was splendid. Only 1 pillow. I would like another :)
• Jiwoo (10/5): - Very good!
• Boyeon (10/5): 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.
• Tk (8/5): Very good -
• Yuk (5/5): Passable - Not at all, the price is much expensive than the same level hot spring hotels in Japan
• Farzad (10/5): Best Ryokan in Karatsu - The western style room was AMAZING. The ryokan has it's own bathing facilities which are also awesome.
• Olaola (8/5): It is good but not amazing. - Good location, room decoration, staff are nice. Breakfast doesn’t quite match the room price.
• Yotsapat (10/5): - family
• Chatchai (8/5): Very good -
• DONGHYUNG (10/5): - 다들 너무 친절하시고 편하게 쉬었어요
• Yee (10/5): Beautiful Ryoken with unique Taisho period deco, great Onsens, great food, great staffs and owner. - Wataya is a gorgeous building set in a beautiful Japanese courtyard. Short and easy walk from the Karatsu JR station with bus stop outside if you are carrying lots of luggages and don’t want to walk. The shopping mall and supermarket right opposite is great and you can even have a haircut there. The tatami room is spacious and spotlessly clean. My room is facing a japanese garden and I can see the koi carp swimming in the pond, while enjoying a cup of green tea. The Onsens are impeccable so as the interior deco in the room and lobby. Having Onsen in the morning amidst the sunlight is just too much an indulgence. The staffs are super helpful trying to help me to book a restaurant over the phone in Japanese. The breakfast is tasty and filling, food presentation is so beautiful I felt sorry to eat them. I stayed for 2 nights only and I wish I could stay longer next time I come again, hopefully very soon~~~ Nothing.
• Mun (9/5): a very pleasant stay. - convenient location. food was very good and substantial. service was good too. the onsen was small. room was also a bit small.
• Richard (10/5): Amazing traditional ryokan experience - Being my second Ryokan stay of this type, I'm still learning the standards. I'm very glad Ryokan Wataya allowed me to book the room for 1 person, since many other ryokan only allow bookings for 2+ people. Staff welcomed me upon arrival, taught me some ettiquette and showed me the facilities. There's an outdoor onsen that is swapped between mens and womens use daily. But there's also a second and third onsen as well (switching daily, open later). These onsen baths have certifications on their mineral content if that's your thing. These are in addition to the normal shower/bathtub in your room. I was lucky enough to utilize all three baths during my 1 night stay, with no one else bathing at the same times. There are english instructions on the walls with the proper bathing steps. Water in the onsens are toasty hot and a bit slippery as you'd expect from hotspring water. I stayed in the Japanese-style Standard room, which was picturesque in terms of what I was looking for. Everything lightly smelled like cedar, or perhaps it was the tatami mats. Far larger than I'd need, since it's a 4 person room. There's a mini fridge in the room (with prices) stocked with sake, beer, and some various sodas in-case you need a drink right now. Breakfast was a full japanese style breakfast, which is set out by staff at a prescheduled time chosen by you. I assume there's probably an option to have the meals brought to the room. The price is very good, especially based on the history and feel of the building, level of service provided, and the hotsprings. The staff (and I think the owner?) did very well communicating, even with my barrage of english. One thing I should point out, is that the futon blankets might be a bit short for taller folks (north american/european sized). Though depending on time of year, your legs will be poking out anyways.
• Lena (8/5): short stay close to everything - close to Center on one side and castle on the other. the only things that would have been the cherry on top would be proximity to beach but as it was cold, that didn’t matter. o was able to walk to yakiniku dinner and Karatsu ware shopping plus able to come back and get some groceries. Oh yeah there’s a grocery store right opposite the road. The onsens switch out in the am but they let you rent it for 40 minutes for private use if you have tattoos. nothing
• Serena (10/5): I enjoyed it very much. - It was gorgeous and beautiful.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - とてもよくしてくださいました。 1組だけだったのでお風呂も貸し切りでしたし、ご飯も美味しくてくつろげて最高でした。 ありがとうございました。
• wiparat (10/5): Appi - Good location , nice view nearby canal. Officers are take care very well.
• Wenwen (8/5): 優美的古宅 - 很優雅的房子 有溫暖古老的氣質 服務人員很親切 也很願意服務 門口的奶奶很優雅 精確的服務每個客人 也讓每個環節以及環境能魅力的呈現 唯一美中不足是抽煙房居然沒有隔間直接在休息室旁 有人抽煙對我們沒抽煙或有小孩的家庭真的很困擾
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 全体的に建物設備が老朽化でした。元は老舗の歴史ある建物だと思い期待してたのですが、古さがちょっと良くない方に出てますね。ちゃんと手入れや補修をすれば素晴らしい旅館になると思います。こういう旅館を盛り上げられないのが残念です
• SeoSihwa (10/5): 편안하게 쉴 수 있는 곳! - 가라쓰가 작은마을이라 짧은기간동안 다 돌아볼수가있어요 그 중에서도 와타야료칸은 저렴한 편이고 마쓰우라강뷰도 멋지고 직원분들도 친절하십니다 갈땐 송영차도 준비해주셨어요 다만 오래된 시설로 낡은부분들이 보였습니다 그 점만빼면 100퍼만족
• Ying (10/5): - 酒店離車站較遠 四周亦沒有便利店 但環保不錯 有早餐和晚餐供應 去呼子或名城戶等景點 從酒店出發到巴士站都算近 如果打算去以上景點 都算方便
• DAE KI (10/5): 조용히 휴식할 수 있는 좋은 료칸 - 좀 늦게 도착하여 나카이상이 이부자리를 준비하는 상황에서 좀 재촉한 감이 있음. 그 외에는 모든 것이 매우 좋았음. 주변 지역은 매우 조용하여, 조용한 곳을 좋아하는 사람들에게는 안성맞춤임.
• やっちゃん (10/5): - 唐津駅にも近く、観光pointにも近い
• Verified traveler (8/5): 좋은 위치, 합리적인 가격 - 역사가 있는 저택을 료칸으로 사용하는 곳으로 가라쓰 역에서 걸어갈 수 있는 거리로 가까운 곳에 좋은 식당과 구가라쓰은행이 있고 가라쓰성, 가라쓰신사, 히키야마 전시관, 구타카토리 저택을 걸어서 갈 수 잇는 좋은 위치입니다. 좀 낡은 건물이지만 잘 관리되어 있으며 직원들도 친절한 편입니다. 천연온천이 있지만 도시 한가운데라서 노천탕은 자연의 분위기는 나지 않습니다. 실내욕탕에서 보이는 가라쓰성의 야경이 멋집니다. 가이세키는 방에 따로 차려주는데 평범한 편입니다. 가라쓰 명물인 한치회는 별도로 주문해야합니다.
• Wei-Chuan (10/5): Good service - This Japan style hotel has very good service. Our in-room dinning experiences are also fantasty.
