Sponsored by\u00a0Saga Prefectural Tourism Federation<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Opened in 2016, this small guesthouse is located in the home of Arita ceramics.\u00a0 The owner of this guest house, Hanneke, is very friendly and happy to help!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Guesthouse Keramiek is run by a Dutch owner who discovered the property and renovated it. Hanneke fell in love with the building and decided to restore it to its former glory, and you can see the care that has gone into this beautiful building. It\u2019s just a 10 minute walk from Kamiarita Station and very close to plenty of Arita ceramic shops as well as Touzan Shrine. The owner is available until 15:00 and again from 18:00 during the day. You receive warm welcome when you arrive and she will give you her business card so you can contact her. She knows the area well and can give you plenty of useful information to help you get the most out of your stay!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The entrance of the guesthouse has a selection of leaflets you can browse with information on Arita. The location is also ideal. It looks onto the main street of Arita, so as soon as you go outside you can easily access many of the Arita ceramics shops. If you visit during the Arita Porcelain Fair you are staying right in the centre of it.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The style of the guesthouse is a unique mix of traditional Japanese style and modern Western style. The d\u00e9cor features traditional Japanese tatami mats and sliding shouji doors, as well as Arita ceramic statues and cups to use. As well as this, there are western style sofas and tables. This combination gives the building a unique feel to it.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The rooms have plenty of space and are kept very clean. Your room is provided with a bottle of water and some snacks, with plenty more in the communal areas. Outside you can see the surrounding greenery. There are kitchen and bathroom facilities too, with one bathroom on the second floor. Plenty of towels are provided as well as shampoo, shower gel and hand soap. There is also a hairdryer available. Wifi and free parking are provided. If you are staying in winter, there are warm fleece blankets and you can use the heating function on the air conditioner to keep warm \u2013 Hanneke is of course happy to explain how to use this if you\u2019re unsure.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The guest house has both Western and Japanese style rooms, so you can choose from sleeping in a bed or futon. Up to two people can stay in a Western style room in a comfortable double bed. If you\u2019re travelling in a small group or with your family the Japanese style rooms are ideal.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n On the first floor there is a lounge where you can relax and meet other guests. The lounge has a TV you can watch while relaxing with a cup of tea. There is also a baby crib here if you have small children with you. This lounger also has a microwave and toaster oven. The second floor also has a Japanese style room with a table you can sit at to relax and maybe chat with other guests.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This guest house is a lovely spot to stay in with a warm, friendly atmosphere. It’s ideal for all kinds of travellers, whether you’re on your own or in a group. With plenty of space to relax and comfortable rooms to get a good night\u2019s sleep, you can get a nice rest here! Arita is a peaceful, quiet town so you can be sure to sleep through the night.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The website for Guest house Keramiek also has some great recommendations for things to see and do in Arita, as well as good places to eat. Several of these are within walking distance of the guesthouse. It is also conveniently located near Arita Kan \u2013 the tourist information hall.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Room prices are \u00a55,500 for the first adult, and \u00a53000 per person for any other adults staying (so for example, a room for two would cost \u00a58,500). The cost for children of primary school age is \u00a51000. This is great value for all the comfort and facilities provided! If you visit during the Arita Porcelain Fair prices are slightly higher at \u00a57000 for the first adult and \u00a52000 for each additional adult, with the price for children remaining the same. This is the busiest time of year in Arita and takes place from the end of April to the beginning of May.<\/p>\nA special kind of hotel<\/strong><\/h2>\n
