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.

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.
