ONCRI-KARATSU
The hotel is situated right next to the sea and the sunsets are stunning. The room is big and quite comfortable. My only complaint is the toilet had a continuous noxious odour that may be from the backflow or exhaust of other units.

Breakfast was great. Enjoyed the private family bath with Sauna. The room was a little smaller than expected.

A little old hotel, and need transportation to go out to town, but close to beach. Big bath was great. Hotel provides transportation between hotel and couple stations.

Beautiful room with jacuzzi and projector. Such a neat and beautiful mix of comfort, luxury and modernity. We loved it! Would love to come back to stay there if we visit Itoshima again. The camping coffee brewing set available to pick up from the lobby added fun for us definitely!
