It is a unique inn which has an impressive matsuri-kan (festival hall) replicating food stalls from the Chichibu Yomatsuri (the Chichibu Night festival). Guests can enjoy not only an open-air cypress bath and a large bath, but also book a private open-air bath for a fee. Meals served as guests gather and sit around the irori (Japanese traditional fireplace) include natural delicacies special to the mountain village.

No watch, No noise 〜Free yourself from time and embrace tranquil serenity〜 Located right in front of Hamasaki Beach with a view of Karatsu Bay, it stands in a hidden area reminiscent of a private villa. “ONCRI KARATSU” is a seaside resort that cherishes the blessings and connections offered by the sea. Once, Eric Moller, a British merchant living in Karatsu, was so moved by the stunning scenery of this beautiful beach that he built a villa here, boasting an exceptional location.
