It's a three-minute walk from Karatsu Station, which is very convenient. All room function controls and instructions are on the control panel next to the door in the room, supporting various languages. The room has a kitchen (induction cooker) and various kitchen utensils and tableware, as well as a microwave and a double-layer refrigerator. The WIFI speed in the room is very good, and the TV is a SONY smart TV. There is a washing machine and detergent in the room. Although there is no dryer, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to dry in the bathroom with the ventilator heating function. Overall it's very convenient and comfortable. It's a residential area nearby and quite quiet. There is no parking space, but there is Karatsu Station West Parking Lot a minute's walk away. The price is up to 500 yen for 24 hours, which is a very reasonable price.

Unlike a hotel, this room is in a large detached house and is very spacious and reasonably priced. I can't hear the sounds next door. 2 single beds and 1 double bed, kitchen, refrigerator, washing machine (with detergent), dryer and bath. It was clean, beautiful and relaxing. There is a coin parking lot within 3 minutes walk.

The inn feels like a room in a stylish condo right next to the station.Staff were not always on site, and I was able to enter the room smoothly by communicating via email or using the information terminal in the room.The rooms are spacious and you can cook a little food, so I think it's convenient for long-term stays.It would be a pain if you forgot your passcode at check-in, so it would be nice if you could print it out.

Used for one night.Check-in and entering the room, which I was worried about based on the reviews, went smoothly thanks to the emails sent in advance.The rooms are very clean.Single or double? It was a room with a single bed, but the double bed creaked. . It made noise when I turned over, so I couldn't sleep much because it bothered me lolThere are no tubs or chairs in the bathroom. It had a drying function with a 30-minute timer, so I washed it at night and it was barely dry in the morning. (Press it several times before the timer runs out...)There were two types of towels.As a side note, are there biker gangs in front of the station in the middle of the night? I couldn't get much sleep as I was running right next to the train. tears
