“Beautiful and peaceful place with lovely staff”

Located in a ceramic shop square, the hotel was the perfect place to stay during our long weekend of exploring Arita. The room was simple but had everything we needed and every morning started with a delicious breakfast and the staff did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

It was excellent stay. The personal is very nice and giving great service. The 2 floor room was nice, the breakfast was outstanding!

Lovely and comfortable and clean. Staff were so nice. On beautiful porcelain shop street away from the town centre.

“Super love the place.”

Very quaint, minimalistic, quiet, calm and peaceful.

“Top marks on amenities and breakfast, but loosing points in other areas”

The hotel (at the back of the restaurant) is very stylish and modern, with amazing amenities inside the room (I've never had a hotel put out delicate porcelain cups and glasses for guests to use). The aircon was really great, as the room(s) get quite hot. The breakfast was definitely the best I had on my whole trip through Japan - by far.

“Super comfortable bed, clean room and kind staff!”

The bed was so comfortable!! By far the best sleep I've had!! People are correct the wifi signal isn't great in the loft but it's not the worse. The design of the loft room is so beautiful and very comfortable. The location is nice surrounded with beautiful pottery stores and a yum bakery! But if your walking it can be quite challenging as it's 35 minutes walk uphill which can be tough with luggage. Overall loved my stay th staff were very nice too!!

“The dinner was amazing and the stay was just right for us!”

The hotel was clean and the staffs are very friendly and polite. The loft room was just nice for us. We love the space and amenities that come with the room. The heater serve us well after long day out in the cold.

Situated in the pottery precinct Dinner was great especially the risotto, but let them know in advance if you can’t eat shellfish or squid

The hotel staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The rooms were excellent and clean and the hotel's overall aesthetic was just fabulous.

“Compact style hotel with quite location and well design.”

This place is quite and compact Japanese style. I booked two types of room ie. compact double bed room and maisonette comapct double bed room. It is located beside the porcelain shop and far from the resturant. I recomended to have the breakfast at the hotel.

Everything looks great, exceptional service by the hotel staff and the room was awesome.

“very nice place to stay!”

i had a wonderful time at aria huis! the staff were lovely, the room was exactly what i expected from the pictures (very nice), the bed was super comfy, the shampoo and soap smelled really good. summer in arita was extremely hot but i was very happy in my air-conditioned hotel room. i was travelling alone on a trip focusing on pottery and the hotel was wonderfully placed within two rows of shops, one of which also had a bakery i enjoyed breakfast at. i didn't get to eat at arita huis itself this trip but i look forward to returning and trying their food when i do. i will say that the location is a bit inconvenient - far from the train station and food options - but there are often cabs around and i suspect other pottery-related things around arita sera that i didn't get to visit this time around. if you're driving this is a really good option, if you're relying on public transport i'd say think about if you're willing to take a cab to and fro. walking the 24 minutes might be fine in other seasons but in summer it was a lil intense. also, in general i'd recommend doing research and checking on/making reservations at places you want to eat bc opening times aren't super consistent!

One good design hotel. I booked a duplex loft room. Love the design and space arrangement.

“A nice accommodation for porcelain shoppers”

Very conveniently located among lots of porcelain stores.

“Cute accommodation in a unique area, especially convenient if you intend to shop heaps!”

Hotel is in a special part of Arita with many specialty ceramic ware shops! It's a convenient place to do all your shopping. I noted many carpark lots, so I bet this gets busy during Golden Week when everyone descends on the town.

“Funky accommodation in beautifully designed hotel.”

Location was great if you are into ceramics as public transport was intermittent. Breakfast was great; a traditional Japanese breakfast. If you stay on the days the restaurant is open, book the dinner as part of your accommodation package.
