Family hotels and homes in Imari

Very comfortable and nicely furnished property. Owner is hospitable and sensitive to needs to guests. Our family truly enjoyed our 1 night stay at the property.

The owner is very kind and generous. The scenic of the city from house's balcony is impressive.

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

Convenient facilities, wide space. Good CP value.

I went 7-eleven right in front of the hotel.

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 owners and staff are incredibly friendly, creating a warm atmosphere. It is set up well to facilitate interaction between guests. Location is well situated about halfway between the station and Takeo Onsen, with lots of options for food and drink within a short walk.

We had a lovely time staying in this traditional Japanese style apartment. It is tidy and spacious, has lots of details hidden around the corners. The host was very friendly, responsive and helpful, provided detailed suggestions about placed worth visiting in Takeo and even guided us to see fireflies at night. The day we checkout out of the apartment we forgot backpack on the bus, the host was kind enough to contact the bus company for us right away. This is by far the most pleasant stay we ever had in any country.
