Is the address linked to go to Airbnb Shintenjo? I was appalled that they were leading me to a strange place and searching for it. In the end, I sent a message to the host, Ryu Sang, and took a picture of it on Google Maps to find it.It's really close to Imari Station, and I recommend picking up something to eat at the Lawson Combini Shop on the way, or going to Ninba Udon located on the way for dinner.The guesthouse was generally clean and nice. Especially the bed and blanket 👍

It's an Itai guest house, but the cost performance is good. It is also conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants around the station.It's a little disappointing that the owner misunderstands Google Maps as a place to expose customers who have bad manners, but this is a place where users share information, so I can understand why they want to argue against people who don't have good manners. Why not use those excuses to improve your business?Thank you for taking the trouble to respond using the reply function. It might be a good idea to let people know in advance by posting the owner's explanation on the reservation site or on the signboard, saying, ``If you're looking for comfort, please choose another hotel.'' Since it's cheap, you'll be told later that you have to put up with comfort, and you won't get your money back, so of course the reviews are not good. The owner is the only one who thinks "I don't like it a little" and it's not just the owner that gives it a low rating.The accommodation area on the second floor is very hot in the summer, probably because the building is old.The air conditioner on the second floor only runs from dusk until morning, so I couldn't relax while lounging around in bed during the day, so I went to the common space on the first floor.The temperature settings are just perfect, making it hard to sleep.Good cost performance. Easy access to restaurants around the station. In the summer, the accommodation area on the 2nd floor is hot, and the operating hours of the air conditioner has been decided, so you should go 1st floor or sightseeing outside during the day . The temperature setting is so exquisite that it's just hard to sleep.Thank you for taking the time to refute using the reply function. It may be a good idea to post the owner's explanation on the reservation site or signboard, saying, "If you want comfort, go to another hotel." It's cheap, so you 'll be told to put up with comfort later, and I won't get any money back. I wonder if I have the right to go elsewhere.

This hostel was acceptable. It wasn’t anything exceptional but it housed me for 2 nights and I got to explore the village of the secret kilns. I wanted to rent a bike but for 5000¥ for the day it seemed a little unreasonable. The air conditioner doesn’t turn on until later in the day so spending time in the hostel until evening isn’t possible. The AC was set to 27C which was slightly uncomfortable for sleeping. Next time I’ll pay a little more and get a nicer spot.

Didn't get good service otherwise. Lovely beds with a large shared kitchen and bathroom with plenty of space. It is also close to the station

4/5
It's close to Imari Station and easy to find.(Go straight and turn right to the left)Right next to it, there is a cafe with a retro atmosphere that sells hambagu (Imari beef), and there are many restaurants and convenience stores.The neighborhood was clean and pretty, so it was nice to take a walk in the morning and evening.Although it is small, there is also a kitchen so you can prepare a quick meal.The shower room and toilet are also clean.There's nothing special, but it's good enough to stay for a day or two.

Last time I stayed for 2 nights, and this time I stayed for 2 nights. Compared to other guesthouses, the cleaning is better, the toilet, shower room, and kitchen are very clean, and the futons are fluffy. The staff are quiet and friendly people who will give you accurate and kind answers if you ask them a question.
