3-Star Hotels in Naoshima

A 3-minute walk from Miyaura Port, it was a renovated private house in the Miyaura village and was used when I visited the 2022 Setouchi Triennale. There is nothing like the front desk and there are no staff. Use the reserved room, check out only by leaving the key in the room. There is no hassle. I used ”ROOM CHARLIE”. A rental room with a bedroom, living room and private bathroom. The kitchenette has a refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle, and you can cook a little. Clean, functional, easy to use and very good.

Room was comfortable though small . We had 2 meals in , which after a day out sightseeing was convenient for us and both were very good . We found a cafe in the nearby town where we had breakfast .the staff were lovely and helpful . Negatives . We were a fair bit older than most of the people staying there and as other reviewers have mentioned it is a hike from the port mainly uphill and then a steep flight of stairs to rooms ( luckily for us 1 flight as could have been 2 ) we are fitter than most so we managed ok but it could be a challenge for over 55,s if they are unfit .

This little guesthouse is simple but so well priced and met all our needs - mostly its close proximity (15 minutes walk) to both Honnura port area and the start of the Benesse house art zone, the main locations for the absolutely amazing art installations on Naoshima. Room was well sized, clean, secure and warm. The host was very friendly - he even gave us a lift into the Benesse area to give us a great head start on our day, and securely stored our luggage for the day. I would definitely stay here again. For those coming to Naoshima I would recommend staying 2 nights so you are not rushing your time on this beautiful serene island and make sure you book various galleries well in advance, they sell out even in off season!!

Large yurt with 4 beds. Very clean. Quite hard beds. Excellent location near Benesse Museum (walking distance, or next to bus stop). Excellent airconditioning. Toilets and shower are quite far from the yurts. Basic comfort but that’s ok. Very quite place. Diner is good: you get a large plate with plentiful of meat and some shrimps, vegetables to put on a table bbq. Breakfast is too basic and not our taste: Japanese udon noodles. Tip: go to the nearby Terrace restaurant : you get an excellent breakfast buffet with tons of choice for around 25-30 euro.

The staff person and owner were very available to help me with WiFi and getting settled. My bit server worked fine in all other places in Japan but not in their guest house. Also the bikes are terrible....despite being told that I could ride around the island ( even though the bikes were not electric) I in fact could not. I am a very experienced daily biker in London but those bikes were useless. V Rey v v heavy and I needed to walk them up to the museum despite being told I could ride anywhere on the island. They are heavy and a very strange design. Ditch the bikes and either get electric bikes or no bikes. Plus I had to pay for them. Also, pillows were extremely uncomfortable...large box shaped pillows that were very hard and high. Please get small soft pillows. Sheets and bedding otherwise perfect. Nice large rooms. No breakfast really to choose from except sliced white air bread. Loved location...but a bit overpriced for a dorm set up.
