If you’re looking for a clean, safe and well maintained accommodation. This is it. The area around it doesn’t have much to offer during the evening. It’s in an expensive shopping area and a stores in close up early. It is close to the train station. I didn’t really enjoy it because it seems mostly functional as opposed to warm and welcoming, but it certainly was convenient.

A super convenient location near the station, shops, and restaurants. The room was clean, stylish, and spacious. When I travel to Karatsu again, Karae will be my number one hotel choice for sure.

Convenient and clean

Convenient location - a few blocks from the JR station, a few blocks from the bus station and a lot of restaurants around the area. It seems very new, it's very clean. Good wifi.

駅から近く、アクセスが良い。無駄なものがなくて、わかりやすい。エントランスなどもきれい。 駐車場の案内がもう少しわかりやすかったらよかった。一方通行が多いので、ぐるぐるまわってしまったし 料金もそれぞれだったので、かなり高いところに停めてしまってショック。 ホームページに、その辺の情報も欲しかったです
