Accommodation in Imari

Good location but to get there from station is a bit annoying as you need to go around as there is no direct crossing. So you are wasting extra time going around but that city problem and hotel fault. Hotel is great. The usual old fashioned business hotel. Staff were great. I skiped breakfast so not sure about it. I want tried the hotsping either but not sure if if it is tatoo friendly tbh.. I had good stay overall. Wished my room was a little but higher though. 2nd floor is a bit low.

The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from Imari Train Station, with a very homey feel with friendly staff. We arrived via SHOWA Bus from Fukuoka Airport (approx. 2 hours 30 minutes - bought our tickets at the airport). The bus stopped at Imari Station, making access convenient. Room was spacious, with two double beds, a sitting area with TV, and a kitchen with a full-size fridge/freezer, microwave, and stovetop. The bathroom had a washer/dryer, and laundry detergent was available near reception for 100 yen. Entry to the building via a security card, adding an extra level of convenience and safety. The river behind the hotel made for a quiet and scenic walk, perfect for relaxing in the evening.Max Value Supermarket near Imari Station is open 24 hours. The best ramen in Imari is about a 15-minute walk from the hotel, near KFC.

The staff could not have been more helpful. I had a medical issue and a lady at reception arranged help for me. The hotel is only about an 8 minute walk from Imari Station where the Fukuoka Showa Bus also arrives and departs. There is a lovely Izakaya (pub) right next to the hotel car park and an Aeon supermarket nearby. The best thing is their buffet breakfast. A large choice of freshly prepared food with menu specials that change daily. There is a coffee and soft drink bar in the lobby. You can catch a train on the Matsuura Railway line from Imari to Arita but there is only one per hour. It is only a 15 minute bus ride to the pottery village of Okawachiyama but use the timetable outside Imari Station to plan your trip. Only ¥200 each way.

The property very convenient to Kawachiyama pottery village with lovely views over the hills surrounding the village. The owners generously left bottles of water and beer, tea,coffee, instant noodles and breakfast bread as there isn’t a food store in the village. There were also generous bathroom and laundry supplies and access to Netflix on the TV. They organised a taxi for me for my return journey to the station as soon as I requested it.

I genuinely recommend this place. It’s kind of magic really!

We are very thankful about the experience we had in youre home. Beautiful village, lovely house with fresh smelling flowers. We enjoyed a lot. Also the surroundings. We went for a big walk on the island nearby, to the Hatatsu Fureai to eat and to the viewing point on top of the village.

It was a friendly guy and really quiet near the mountains and warm while it was freezing cold outside. I would come back everytime!

A very warm cozy well maintained home, make you feel right at home. You can tell the owner Joy spent a lot of effort to up keep her lovely home, and she made you felt so welcome to her place.

Amazing place, we stayed 3 nights as basecamp to visit the surrounding area. All installations were clean and brand new. Rooms were spacious and well-equipped. Shared space in the top floor with kitchen was amazing. Nice bathroom with bath and washing machine.

hightech features and very clean stay. Quiet area.

We loved waking up in the villiage and,having the place to ourselves. We loved being able to explore and enjoy all the ceramics shops and have some interaction with the locals. We loved the warm and somewhat bohemian atmosphere of the house and the air conditioned tefuge from the heat.
