    I had a great stay in Karatsu in Green Flamingo. The house is well located right next to the beach and a fantastic pine grove (a must to visit!), and is a short walk to the castle. Sean was extremely welcoming in so many ways, going great lengths...

    The hosts were such a nice couple they helped me with the correct bus routes, Sean picked me up from the station and offered to drive up Mt. Kagamiyama while the weather was nice. The beds were great, room had good A/C and beautiful decks you can...

    The hosts were incredibly nice and full of good advice: they offered to pick us up and bring us to the station, to show us nice view points, they recommended good places to eat and good activities in town... The best! The place itself is well...

Company info

Magnolia Japan Co. Ltd was founded in 2013 in Tokyo. Our first business was running a cafe in Tokyo for nine years but have now relocated to Karatsu. Here we have a yoga studio and bed and breakfast accommodation, but also continue online orders for cakes and baked food. Sean and Ikuko will do their best to help you have a wonderful visit.

Property info

Green Flamingo is well situated between Karatsu Castle and Nijonomatsubara pine forest, and only a few minutes' walk from beautiful Karatsu Bay. Your cozy room has a desk, a table and chairs and its own balcony, but you can also use our spacious resort-style roof terrace when the weather is good. Of course, we will happily pick you up from the station when you arrive and can give help and advice about the attractions of Karatsu and the surrounding area.

Neighborhood info

Karatsu is a hidden gem in many ways. The views of the bay from Kagamiyama and from the top of the castle are spectacular. Many people travel here just for the 5km drive or cycle through Nijonomatsubara pine forest. November's Kunchi festival attracts thousands, and of course rustic Karatsuyaki pottery is world famous. There are plenty of stores and actual worktops around town to visit. Yobuko morning market, which is famous for squid and other seafood is close-by and easy to visit, while Imari and Arita are a pleasant drive away. The town is walkable, but we also have bicycles for guests to use.
