A New Cafe

I went with my wife to visit a cafe opened by an acquaintance who lives in Hungary. The located is at the beginning of the river Okutama valley and the natural scenery is fantastic.
He explained to us that they shuttle between Tokyo and Budapest.

He explained to us that with the help of various people, he built an octagonal building. Among them, one person, a student from Budapest, stayed a share-house near the cafe and helped with the construction.
The garden is still under development, but there are several art pieces that presented by a craftsman, and inside the cafe, paintings by his female acquaintance, who are top-notch painters, adorned the walls. There is another large painting still in progress, but it seems she will come from Osaka to stay for a week in May to complete the painting.


ハンガリー在住の知人が奥多摩にカフェを開いたというので妻と行った。
奥多摩川の土手にあり、自然の景観はすばらしい。その人は東京とブダペストを行き来している。
色々な人の協力を得て自分たちで八角形の建物を作ったと説明してくれた。
一人はブダペストから学生が住み込みでDTYを手伝ってくれたそうだ。
庭はまだ整備途中だったが、工芸家のオブジェがいくつもあったり、カフェの中には彼の知人で一流の画家の絵画が飾られていた。まだ完成途中の大きな絵もあったけど、5月に一週間泊まり込みで大阪から来てくれるらしい。

Is the cafe and river located in Okutama valley? I wasn't sure if "Okutama valley" was referring to the river itself or the area the cafe is in.

He explained to ussaid that they shuttle between Tokyo and Budapest.

I think "said" sounds a little more natural here, but what you had was grammatically correct. I'd reserve "explain" when someone is describing the reason behind something or trying to make something more understandable.

He explained told us that with the help of various people, he built an octagonal building.

"said" would work well here too. Is the octagonal building the same building as the cafe?

Did you mean to say that both the craftsman and his acquaintence were top-notch painters?

This is 100% correct. I personally write "café," but either way is fine :)

I went with my wife to visitMy wife and I went to a cafeé opewned by an acquaintance who lives in Hungary.

I rarely say "I went with a friend to XYZ"... I almost always say "My friend and I went to XYZ."

I think if someone asked who I went with, I would say "I went with a friend." But usually, I say "My friend and I went..."

TheIt is located is at the beginning ofwhere the river of Okutama vValley begins, and the natural scenery is fantastic.

He explained to us that they (?) shuttles (?) between Tokyo and Budapest.

Who is "they"?

He explainedalso told us that with the help of variousother people, he built an octagonal building.

When I read "various people," I think some are tall, some are short, some are fat, some are thin...

What do you mean by "craftsman"?
Also, it's not very common to specify between "male" and "female" acquaintance, unless it's important. Otherwise, it might sound a little negative, like you are surprised that a woman can be a top-notch painter.

There is another large painting that is still in progress, but it seems sthe artist will come from Osaka to stay for a week in May to complete the painting.

The craftman is one who creats sculptures by carving stone.

I was a little unsure so I left it. Is the river called Okutama Valley? Or is the river called Okutama and it's located in a valley? Or is the river located somewhere called Okutama valley?
