    (Translated by Google) 2 I made a reservation with my family and visited. Use for lunch. It is said that you can stay at a cafe that has been renovated from an old folk house that is relatively new (Showa?). The telephone response at the time of booking was very kind! The light meal was also delicious. The goods in the store are good old America! It has a nice atmosphere with taste goods. However, the fact that there were many customers and the small table is not good for customers with children 😅 The atmosphere is that the owners do not welcome children so much, and every time a child takes some action, a strict look is given. I can fly. ... I couldn't eat very calmly. I reduced one star. There is a toilet and no parking lot, but there is a public free parking lot just off the store. * Visited November 2020 (Original) 2家族で予約して訪問しました。ランチでの利用。割と新目(昭和かな?)の古民家を改装したカフェで、宿泊もできるそうです。 予約時の電話対応はとても親切でした!軽食も美味しくいただきました。店内の丁度品は古き良きアメリカ!テイストのグッズが置かれていて良い雰囲気です。 でも、お客さんが多かったこと、テーブルが狭いのが子連れ客には辛いかな😅オーナーの方もあまり子どもを歓迎していない雰囲気で、ちょっと子どもが何かアクションをする度に厳しめの視線が飛んできます。…あまり落ち着いて食事できませんでした。星を一つ減らしました。 トイレ有、駐車場無しですが、店から少し降りたところに公共の無料駐車場があります。 ※2020.11訪問

    (Translated by Google) Ordered hot cocoa with marshmallows and a thick baked pudding ☕️ I thought it looked like a hard pudding, but it was surprisingly soft and delicious🍮✨ I wanted to have a drink in a mason jar, but it was cold outside and the cocoa warmed me up 🎵 There are various sofas and tables, and the comfort of sitting is different, so it might be fun to find a relaxing space that suits you. owner? is a foreigner, and I'm glad you took care of my coat⭕️ (Original) マシュマロ入りのホットココアと、お目当て濃厚焼きプリンを注文☕️ 見た目、固めのプリンかなと思ったが、意外と柔らかく美味しかったです🍮✨ メイソンジャーで飲み物を頂きたかったが、外が寒くココアで温まりました🎵 色々なソファーやテーブルがあり、座り心地等も違うので、自分に合った落ち着けるスペースを探すのも楽しいかも🌱 オーナー?が外国の方で、コートなど気遣って頂いて良かったです⭕️

    (Translated by Google) The location is difficult to understand, but it has a very calm atmosphere. I was late to visit and couldn't get the thick roasted pudding, so I'd like to visit early next time. This time, I had a tapi bowl and hot cafe au lait. It was very delicious. (Original) 場所は分かりにくいですが、とても落ち着いた雰囲気のいいお店です。 伺うのが遅くなってとろ~り濃厚焼きプリンをいただけなかったので、次回は早めに伺おうと思います。 今回は、タピ丼とホットカフェオレをいただきました。 とても美味しかったです。

    I visited Okawachiyama hidden pottery village for the first time, and noticed signs for Basecamp. Thank you for the warm welcome and a splendid lunch with authentic French rustic cooking, the onion tart and meatloaf were delicious , I want to return to try the Croque Madam, and borrow some books (haha). Wonderfully restored old house and lovely gardens, I shall definitely return with friends. Merci beaucoup!

    (Translated by Google) It was said to be open today, so I stopped by immediately. <br/> The owner was living in France, so the menu is based on the image of a French cafe. <br/> Drinks and desserts are excellent! <br/> Because the price is reasonable, I ask for extra extra, but it's annoying. <br/> The old private house cafe, which has been renovated by yourself (!), has a good atmosphere and a large number of seats. <br/> The atmosphere is calm and the owner is friendly, so you can relax for hours. <br/> There is a free parking lot near Okawachiyama, so it would be nice to park there before you come. (Original) 本日オープンとのことでしたので、早速おじゃま致しました。<br/>オーナーの方がフランスに住まわれていたとのことで、フランスのカフェをイメージしたメニューとなっています。<br/>ドリンクは当然のこと、デザートも絶品!<br/>値段も手頃なので、ついつい余分に頼んでしまいますが、ぺろんとたいらげちゃいます。<br/>ご自身で(!)改装された古民家カフェは雰囲気もよく、座席数も多めです。<br/>落ち着いた雰囲気で、オーナーさんも気さくな方なので何時間でもゆっくりできます。<br/>駐車場は大川内山の広めの無料駐車場があるので、そちらに停めてから来られるといいです。

    (Translated by Google) The atmosphere in the store is very calm and you can relax. It makes me want to stay longer. I drank coffee after eating lunch, but next time I want to go to eat lunch. A stylish cafe. (Original) 店内の雰囲気がすごい落ち着いた感じでゆっくりできます。 長居したくなるような感じです。 ランチは食べたあとだったのでコーヒーを飲みましたが、次回はランチを食べに行きたいです。 オシャレなカフェ。

    What a place!!! Get ready to be transported into another world! I loved it!! The interior design, the ambiance, everything! And the food!!! After my stay, i am starting craving for what i had there!! Not to mention the village! Authentic, (don't miss the Kyushu pottery). We will be back!

    What a wonderful place!! I stayed here with a friend and it was one of the best parts of our pottery shopping trip! The owners are so wonderful and kind. Room was very comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was great. The house is beautiful and so cozy. The very warm welcome we received made me feel like I was visiting family. Aside from staying here, we also tried our hand at wagashi making. They offer this workshop on a regular basis and making a reservation was very easy. I believe reservations are required. The wagashi we made was tasty and went very well with the matcha we made to go with it. Since we were enjoying it so much, we also had lunch here. The food was delicious!! I don’t see meatloaf very often in Japan so when I do, I have to order it. It was delicious! It was a beautiful day so we sat outside, which was very nice. We had some wonderful conversations with the owners and we even got a little tour of the town. The town itself is really charming, with older buildings and quite a few pottery shops. I highly recommend visiting Okawachiyama Pottery Village and either staying at Base Camp Imari or at least stopping by for a wagashi workshop and lunch. It will truly be a highlight of your trip. I will definitely be visiting again.

    The best place to stop and relax if you are in Kyushu. The food (meatloaf, salmon,...) as well as the bedrooms if you sleep there, are a hidden gem! The little town is also full of charms, with old traditional streets, and close to the sea and mountain. Perfect for find yourself again!

    A very nice place, with nice people, an ideal location for visiting this village. We would have loved to stay overnight to enjoy even more the lodge !

    We stopped there for lunch, and had a great time in this wonderful little village. The food was simple but tasty, healthy, plentiful and delicious, kind of homemade, which is exactly what we wanted. The atmosphere was relaxed and really pleasant. It was a welcome stop for the day!!

    伊万里焼の里にある、古民家を改装したような雰囲気のあるお店です。料理もお洒落でした。窓際に座らせていただきましたが、外の景色も楽しめました。冬だったので外の手入れは今一つ、伊万里焼の散策の休憩にお勧めです。

    This was my second time staying at Basecamp Imari and it was just as wonderful as the first time! For this trip, I brought my mom so she could enjoy all that the village and guesthouse have to offer. We did the pottery wheel experience in the local village and got to just stroll around the gorgeous little streets and enjoy the scenery. We also did two activities at the guest house with Mayumi-san. My mother and I did the kimono experience which was so much fun. Mayumi-san and her mother are both licensed to dress people in kimono and they took amazing care of us. It was extra nice doing the kimono experience with a mother daughter team 😊 Plus, the village is so picturesque it’s perfect, and peaceful, for all the kimono photos you could ever want. We also did the candy making experience which was a perfect ending to our visit - and surprisingly involved! Okawachiyama is a wonderful village to visit but staying at base camp Imari is easily my favorite part. I am already looking forward my next trip back! Thank you Gil-san and Mayumi-san for making my moms visit so memorable!

    A wonderful family run cafe and lodge. This Japanese-French couple has made a wonderful job renovating a traditional house in the little town of Okawachiyama. The taste, of the drinks and deserts, is delicious. As well it is the decoration and music, that creates a wonderful atmosphere. We did not sleep by them since we had a different arrangement, but came back the morning after for a good cafe and conversations.
