Loved the town of Karatsu- little side streets were so interesting- watch the flower n fresh produce set up every morning. Ride bike to beach/castle area esp on a Sunday. Favorite treat was tasting Saga beef at CARAVAN殺

5/5 - Excellent

Karatsu offers variety of activities. We have enjoyed visiting famous potters and “Tanada” the layers of rice fields on ocean hillside.
