Homestays in Arita

Hanneke made us feel at home and always made sure we had all we needed. She's been a lovely host and the house is wonderful.

Hanneke the guesthouse owner was so helpful. It's a beautiful home, very comfortable, and if you like 80s style with a modern twist, you are in for a treat. Hanneka speaks English and teaches lots of the locals, so is very well connected and made some brilliant recommendations for food and ceramic studios to visit. She even helped me sort out a bicycle and drove me to the station at the end ... could not have been kinder. Thank you Hanneka and if I am ever back in Japan I will stay longer, two days was not enough.

Great place to stay, very comfortable, well decorated, clean, good location to explore the ceramic shops. Everything we needed. English and Japanese spoken. Hanneke was a lovely host and helped us with local advice, arranging a taxi and more.

Takeshi was a great host. The property was spacious, had plenty of character and had everything we could have wanted. Was amazed at the attention to detail. Thanks Takeshi

The guesthouse was beautifully decorated and we felt like we had a truly Japanese stay. Arita is a gentle and calm place that the guesthouse reflected. Everything worked well. We were greeted by the lovely host on arrival and felt very welcomed.
