PLEAST Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City; hereinafter 'PLEAST') will open the private rental villa 'HIMOROGI KARATSU001' in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, on April 25, 2026. HIMOROGI is a hospitality brand based on the concept of 'traveling as if living in this land,' weaving the climate, landscapes, and hidden tourism resources of various parts of Kyushu into a stay experience. Through this opening, we propose a stay value that allows guests to more deeply savor the historicity and natural environment of Karatsu.
■ A Location Embraced by the Sea and Castle, Unique to Karatsu
'HIMOROGI KARATSU001' is a private villa standing on the seaside overlooking Karatsu Castle. Located right by the Genkai Sea and just a 1-minute walk to the beach, guests can enjoy walks in the morning breeze and spend the evening wrapped in the sound of waves and the light of the castle. While it is well-located as a base for sightseeing, the charm also lies in being able to spend time alone without worrying about surroundings once back at the villa. It fulfills the desire for a stay that relaxes the mind and body, away from everyday life.
■ Enjoy Sauna, Outdoor Air Bathing, and Hot Springs at Your Own Pace
The facility is equipped with a private sauna. Outdoors, there is an outdoor bath that serves as both a cold plunge and an open-air bath, allowing guests to fully enjoy 'totonou' (refreshing) time along with outdoor air bathing. Entering whenever you like and resting as long as you want is a luxury unique to private rentals. The spacious bath uncurls the fatigue of travel while allowing guests to savor the very air of Karatsu.
■ Nighttime Becomes a Memory with Bonfires and BBQ
In the semi-outdoor space, guests can enjoy their evening around a bonfire. Gazing at the flickering flames is a charm unique to villas, different from hotel stays. Since it also supports BBQ, it can be used for various scenes such as family trips, group trips with friends, or anniversary trips. Along with the indoor space filled with the warmth of wood, we provide a time where the stay itself becomes the main event of the trip.
■ Capacity for up to 6 People, Pet-Friendly
The capacity is 6 people, with one queen bed and two double beds in the bedrooms. In addition to spending time comfortably with family and friends, guests can also bring up to two medium-sized dogs (under 10kg), making it an ideal destination for trips with pets. Free parking for two cars is provided.
■ 'Travel as if Living' in Karatsu
HIMOROGI is a hospitality brand that shines a light on Kyushu's seas, mountains, culture, landscapes, and under-recognized regional resources, proposing a 'trip that doesn't end with one visit.' Our goal is a stay that allows guests to savor not just sightseeing or transient consumption, but the air of the land, the flow of time, and the sense of distance from people and nature. You can enjoy a unique time here, feeling the sea, history, stillness, and warmth of wood in Karatsu.
■ Environmental Consideration Beyond Comfort
At HIMOROGI, we also incorporate efforts to reduce environmental impact as much as possible. The building adopts a wooden unit construction method (CLT CELL UNIT) that utilizes domestic timber, assembling box-shaped structures made of wooden panels inspired by traditional joinery concepts. Minimizing the use of metal hardware is one such effort. The HIMOROGI logo is based on the shape of this joinery (butterfly-dovetail). By incorporating sustainable architecture utilizing CLT and domestic timber, we are developing facilities that balance environmental consideration with regional charm. By designing architecture, location, and stay experience as one, we aim to create new value that gently connects the region, travelers, and nature.
