Wataya Ryokan in Saga Prefecture, built in 1876

#JapanTravel
📍Watayaya Ryokan
The biggest reason I chose Karatsu for my trip to Japan with my parents was because of Wataya Ryokan.
I wanted to go to Wataya Ryokan, which was built in 1876, so I planned a travel course from Fukuoka Airport to here🥳
I stayed for 2 nights, my parents had a tatami room and I had a western-style room, and inside there was a rental bath / separate hot springs for men and women / an open-air hot spring that could be used alternately for men and women for one day.

It was a bit old, but it was well-maintained and clean because it was renovated. The ladies were very kind, so I had a great experience. Breakfast and dinner were included, and for dinner, I had Saga beef one day and squid sashimi one day :) I added a bottle of beer to each dinner, so the cost for 2 nights, 2 rooms (including breakfast and dinner) came to 143,000 yen.

It was a trip where I could fully feel the analog sentiment, the feeling of being in a museum, the culture and sentiment of a Japanese ryokan, and I also liked the quiet atmosphere of Karatsu😊
