Good staying experiences in minshu, very near to JR station”

I was very worried when i booked this guesthouse because because there were some bad reviews about this place. However, everythinf turned out to be ok. The owner was not around when i arrived however he came after i emailed and a neighbour also offered his help to call the owner. This is a traditional japanese minshu so please do not compare with other backpackers hostel or hotel. Nice traditional minshu experience for me. All facilities functioned very well even though the facilities there look old. It is very nearby JR station but there is nothing to do at night and it is super quiet.

Order online, paid, phoned to make sure, then arrived to find a locked door with no one”

Where do I start? I ordered thru agoda, phoned owner a week in advanced to confirm my arrival day and time, I received positived confirmation, then arrived to find a "no show" situation. Hotel's lights off and locked down. No one. Phoned owner, owner said there's no reservation and he is far away. I read out my reservation id, 5 min passed, owner find my reservation. Geez. Owner told me to knock on neighbor Yamada-Inn for help. The women at Yamada-Inn told me blunt word-for-word it is none of her business. 5 min passed then finally she comes and offer to let me stay. Despite they tried to solve a problem, it can't be helped anyone could felt being treated more like a none-paying nuisance more than a guest. Imagine someone not versed in local language meeting that same horror, that could well be you.

A lovely traditional Japanese room. Shared bathroom and the ofuro is downstairs, but we did not mind this. Good location, walking distance (5 minutes or so) from the station. Our trip was focused on seeing the pottery and visiting theGen-emon kiln in Arita. There is also a fantastic museum for those interested in ceramics and the history of Arita pottery.

今回は佐賀を周遊して目的の場所を訪れる目的だったので宿は寝る為だけと、最安値のこちらの宿に。女性1人で初のゲストハウスはやはり不安もありつつ宿泊。必要なものは揃ってますが、冷蔵庫内のカビ、布団シーツの洗濯など上げればありますが、お値段には負けました。

很棒的和室住宿體驗”

老闆不愧是位藝術家:個性浪漫好客,為人親切善良;民宿地點離有田站很近,若是想體驗日式榻榻米和室生活,選這裡就對了!PS:老闆並無住在這裡,所以住宿前建議利用agoda的"與屋主聯繫"先告知住宿的日期與預估可能到達的時間,否則屆時若老闆不在,就只能現場撥打電話了。另也因為是日式榻榻米和室,所以隔壁房間若也有住人,會有隔音效果不佳的缺點。
