Guesthouse Furuki

321-4217 Tochigi, Mashiko, Mashiko 3288-6, Japan –

LOVED the place. Very 70s somehow. Very authentic and fun... with a Pottery component.

Miriam, United States of America

It was a real potters place, a great place to meet other people interested in pottery. We were well looked after in a relaxed sort of way.

Grace, New Zealand

staff informative, friendly, helpful and accommodations authentic. Staying in a working pottery fantastic for us as potters.

Hilda, United States of America

Beautiful setting, incredible old village-style architecture and working studio with constant pottery activity. Great place to meet other people interested in ceramics - and not just collecting, but making. The owners don't speak English, but they have studio assistants who do, so it is easy to get around. They have bikes you can borrow and a kitchen you can use stocked with amazing cups and plates from local potters.

Seth, United States of America

Staff was so friendly and helpful. Perfect place to stay for anyone interested in ceramics.

Well located just a short walk to pottery shops. Excellent pottery class with 2 members of staff teaching us, who both spoke excellent English. Near a lovely little cafe and shop called Starnet which serves delicious wholesome fresh food and salads. The house is a lovely old traditional wooden house. We were there in February and it did get a bit cold but heaters were provided which solved the problem.

Old farmhouse nicely preserved. Beautiful wooden floor near entrance. Walking distance to Hamada's museum. Informal staff. In fact, so informal I did not get a receipt for my payment. I am trying to find how I can have them send it to me via e-mail.

Within walking distance of the pottery shops of Mashiko. Good place for folk coming to experience pottery on a budget. You have to be prepared to look after yourself. Once we had got over the student flat feel of the place we were quite comfortable. The toilet and bathroom were clean.

Diana, New Zealand

This is the place to stay if you are a potter or want to explore Mashiko. It is a lot like a hostel, with great energy and people who love Japanese ceramics and culture.

The traditional Japanese house built in the Edo period is full of character, the staff were friendly, and it was only a short distance from the Hamada museum!!!
