Susie, the host is very nice and good at English.She will tell you the history of this wonderful city. Also, she drove me to the JR Station when I could not get a taxi. The environment is nice and cozy, feel like being at home. I highly recommend this cozy home to you.

First, this place is really great and an incredible bargain. It is located on the edge of the old castle grounds, only minutes walking to Karatsu Castle. The views of the river from the room and of the castle during breakfast are fabulous. The comfortable futons and quiet comforters were great. Our twin room had a small attached bathtub and toilet but we used the wonderful private ofuro each evening. We stayed in room 201, next to the wide staircase, above the ofuro bath. This room is the most protected from the sounds of road traffic but the din of road noise is still there some. I am a light sleeper and my wife and I slept great here! If you like Japanese style breakfasts then you will love it here. We walked through the nice pine forest down to the beach, as well as thoroughly exploring the castle. We had a great lunch at DonDonTei, down the street from Riverside. The value of where this inn is located and the quality of your stay are first class, in our book. After a month in Japan, this 2 night stay was truly one of our highlights!

The hotel was really clean, and the amenities were nicely stocked. The room was quite spacious, and the place was very close to the station. The staff can speak English as well, which was very helpful.

Being my second Ryokan stay of this type, I'm still learning the standards. I'm very glad Ryokan Wataya allowed me to book the room for 1 person, since many other ryokan only allow bookings for 2+ people. Staff welcomed me upon arrival, taught me some ettiquette and showed me the facilities. There's an outdoor onsen that is swapped between mens and womens use daily. But there's also a second and third onsen as well (switching daily, open later). These onsen baths have certifications on their mineral content if that's your thing. These are in addition to the normal shower/bathtub in your room. I was lucky enough to utilize all three baths during my 1 night stay, with no one else bathing at the same times. There are english instructions on the walls with the proper bathing steps. Water in the onsens are toasty hot and a bit slippery as you'd expect from hotspring water. I stayed in the Japanese-style Standard room, which was picturesque in terms of what I was looking for. Everything lightly smelled like cedar, or perhaps it was the tatami mats. Far larger than I'd need, since it's a 4 person room. There's a mini fridge in the room (with prices) stocked with sake, beer, and some various sodas in-case you need a drink right now. Breakfast was a full japanese style breakfast, which is set out by staff at a prescheduled time chosen by you. I assume there's probably an option to have the meals brought to the room. The price is very good, especially based on the history and feel of the building, level of service provided, and the hotsprings. The staff (and I think the owner?) did very well communicating, even with my barrage of english.
