Family hotels and homes in Imari

We had great time at Joy House. Host is so helpful and joyful and accommodation is one of best B&B during my Japan trip. View from house is nice and place is very quiet.

Very well located. There is a restaurant in front of the hotel. very good one.

The style of the house is very unique. The Space of the accomadation is quite perfect. When stayed there, I kinda felt like home. The most favourite thing for me is the washing machine with built-in dryer. This place is recommended!

Staff were lovely - really accommodating and patient of my bad Japanese. There was a bath and pyjamas. Very comfortable, the AC was easy to use. Even the hotel restaurant was nice, and good value (ideal seeing as there aren't many food options in the area)

We are seasoned ryokan customers, and have been to quite a few around Japan, and Shukubo Shingetsu is seriously one of the best. It's relatively new and unknown at this point, but definitely is a hidden gem. There are 3 units available for booking, and we booked one of the two that have two-people capacity. PROS: 1) The whole house has a lovely wood smell (I think it’s Japanese cedar, sugi). 2) All 3 of the units (we've asked to see them all) are beautiful, modern and very very comfortable. They're designed by a famous architecture firm in Tokyo. 3) It's one of a handful of ryokans in Arita, which makes it rare. 4) If you're a huge fan of pottery (which we are), you will LOVE the detials around the house. The umbrella stand, the overhead lamp shades, the vases around the house are all beautiful antique Japanese Aritaware. 5) The food is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The chef (Yasunori-san) is amazing, and that's compared to a lot of other much older and much more established ryokans. Try it, you absolutely have to try his food. He also uses leftover rice from the rice course to make extra riceballs for guests as a midnight snack, which is great. 6) Bed was firm and comfortable! 7) Private onsen in the room was great. 8) Snacks and drinks in the room are 100% free. 9) Netflix in the room! 10) The owners also own a beautiful antique pottery shop, which is also a must-visit. 11) Free parking! 12) The owner of the Ryokan is a lovely lady named Tomoko-san and speaks excellent English, so foreigners would feel very very welcome.

The staff is very kind and friendly and speaks very good English. The location is superb, very close to any point of interest in Takeo and extremely close to the public baths. The facilities are good and the value for money is great. Overall, this was my favourite stay in Japan so far, thank you

Satomi san! She is very a considerable hostest. we were comfortable staying, Takeo city is attractive to enjoy relxation for us. I wish to revisit next holidays. The classical Japaness room is nice,we experienced a special days.

Very impressive clean & cosy & modern & traditional all balanced perfectly well Love to bring my family next time. Should try dinner & breakfast
