Dive into a Unique Family Summer Experience at Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort

As the summer vacation approaches, families are on the lookout for the perfect getaway. Look no further than the Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort, a nature-rich haven located adjacent to Karatsu's beautiful Niji no Matsubara (Rainbow Pine Grove) and Genkai Sea. This summer, the resort is offering exclusive family-friendly experiential programs designed to engage and delight both parents and children alike.

Freshly Caught Dinner - A Hands-On Educational Experience

One of the standout offerings at Mercure Saga Karatsu is the unique accommodation plan that includes a hands-on fishing experience. Guests can fish for kawahagi (filefish) in the hotel’s live fish tank, and then savor their catch for dinner. This brilliant concept not only provides a fun activity for families but also serves as a wonderful lesson in the importance of food and life.

Children will love the excitement of using nets to catch their own fish, and legacy under the watchful guidance of hotel staff ensures that even those new to fishing can partake safely. Once caught, the kawuhagi can be transformed into sashimi or simmered for a delicious meal to be enjoyed at the hotel’s buffet. This memorable culinary experience teaches kids about the significance of the food chain and the vitality of fresh ingredients.

This exciting activity allows children to discover pine cones, symbolic treasures of the famed Rainbow Pine Grove, all while getting a comprehensive crash course in both fun and resourcefulness.

Participants can exchange these found treasures for local goods or drinks, enhancing the overall experience with a touch of local flavor. Reminiscent of the joy that fathers experienced with remote control vehicles in their youth, this activity bridges the generation gap as everyone gets caught up in the thrill of finding hidden treasures.
