Handy location in small quiet community, within walking distance of Honmura and Benesse/Lee Ufan/Chichu along coast roads and via inland small roads. Also bicycles free to use. Nice having our own apartment including basic kitchen facilities, clothes washing equipment. Nearest supermarket Coop in Honmura. Bus stop Tenno shita for no. 2 bus from main port just outside the property.

Walls are very thin, it gets cold at night and in the morning, as it is on the ground floor, one can hear loudly all the noises around. They started to clean the next door making noise before 10:00 my checkout hour, when they could have waited only 30 minutes more for me to leave. The noise was very loud and unpleasant. Very rude as if not caring a tall. Which was the impression the owner made when checking in.

It’s a simple compound, with all the necessary (washing machine, kitchenette) felt big as I was alone in a space for double. Well situated, close to bus stops and walking distance from the art displays on the island.

The beds were a bit soft for me. Prefer a harder mattress. The owner wanted payment in cash - I expected that would have been managed through Booking. Com as all our other accommodation was.

Location is great. Right near the town bus stop. A few good cafe/restaurants nearby. Had bedroom, kitchen - which we didn’t use, shower room, toilet room. A bit of space to spread out. And good value.

The walls are very thin, we could very clearly hear our family talking in the cabin next to us.

Comfortable, well sized cabins in a great location. Right next to the bus stop, and Benesse Museum is an easy 15 minute walk away. A number of places to eat in the same street and around the corner.

It's a bit far from the main towns, but you can use the bus (although it's inconvenient with large suitcases) or walk to the Benesse House area or the famous pumpkin."

It's a small, fully-equipped apartment, and the owner lives in a house in front of the apartments. The owner is very friendly, gave me the key, and provided all necessary explanations. Right across the street, there's a restaurant where you can have a very good dinner (although I didn't see many other options)

Spacious accomodation. Located near a bus stop and a restaurant :)

My apartment was right next to the road, which actually didn't cause a problem but could have done if it were noisier. But you can easily request a different apartment when booking.

This was a budget friendly option for me. Although it doesn't offer the luxury of a good hotel stay, it does have really good facilities. The location was OK. There are two great family restaurants a minute from the property. But it is in a small fishing village, which, although charming, doesn't have nightlife. The bus stop is just outside the property, and you can easily get to all the art installations and museums on the local bus. The owner was really helpful. He dropped me at the ferry port on my last day.

nice little motel run by elderly friendly man. great okonomiyaki nearby.

Stayed in November 2023

There is no reception so you have to call the owner when you arrive. Luckily he live right in front of the apartment.

Small apartment in Naoshima, perfect for a couple of days stay. Has the bus stop 30 seconds down the road and an okonomiaki restaurant opposite the apartment.

The bed was a little low and too soft for my liking but 3 other friends who stayed at the same property were quite happy with their beds.

The location was really good; a stone’s throw from the bus stop. The small eateries within a 2 minute walk from the hotel served delicious food that were reasonably priced. Loved it that the kitchen had everything if you are inclined to cook a simple meal. We found the oven useful to warm up the pastries we bought for breakfast.

No bowls for food. Equipment rudimentary

Simple and comfortable

it was a little chilly at night. you need to turn on the heat. I forgot about it first night.

bus stop is right is by the property. Check it was smooth. The place has washing machine, and kitchen. it is walking distance from port and museum areas.

The beds are rather soft, which might be to some one else’s liking…

We booked this place during a busy time in Naoshima and we’re happy they had availability. It offers an entire apartment for the price of a hotel room. And we had free rental bikes. We couldn’t have been happier.

Nothing. I just wish we had known how easy the local bus is, so we would have felt comfortable getting a ferry to either port.

It was a really good base, right next to the bus stop, with a kitchenette and washing machine so we could have our own space. It was not fancy, but had everything we needed, including a couple of restaurants nearby.

Stayed in October 2023

The quiet residential area was great, after the crowds of Benesse House and Chichu Museum. I wish I could have stayed longer, to make use of the kitchen facilities. Handy bus route, but I actually walked back and forth to the Onsen, and to the museums. The unit is ‘no frills’, but is clean and comfortable.

The booking details and paperwork said they took credit cards - they don't. We arrived with insufficient cash and they had to drive us to the 7/11 to withdraw cash to pay for the tariff. The owner was pleasant about this but we were slightly concerned, as he only had a two seater car, so my underage daughter was left alone in the accommodation, while I went off with him to sort out the money. She was concerned being left alone. The advertisement also said that they offer free bikes. They don't anymore. When I asked why, I was told that previous guests had left the island with the key to the bike locks, causing inconvenience. Sounds like a reasonable reason but they need to update the online advertisement.

It's self contained and great value for money. There's a great local okonomiyake restaurant over the road. Located a stones throw from a bus stop. The owner was very friendly but doesn't speak English. He uses printed signs to communicate about the key / check out time etc. I speak Japanese, so no issue, but it might be for other guests.

Need more small tables or storage space for bedroom. More hangers. Lamps so don't need to use overhead light - which is very bright. Bed too soft

Perfect stay - the Naoshima bus stop is right across the street, very convenient. The room for 2 people (friends) was big enough that we had enough space. I liked that we had a washer in our room - always a plus! It has been very warm, so having good working air conditioning is a must. 3 places to eat within walking distance. Tried picking up some breakfast stuff at the Co-op market in the Art House project area but it closed at 4pm. Took the bus to 7-11 and got what we needed. Nice and quiet at night!

No shops close by - need to be organised for self catering.

Good location to access main galleries. Kitchenette and laundry facilities and bikes to get around.

But difficult to have a consistent water temperature in the shower.

Good location and comfy room.

The property is a bit old fashioned and used only during holiday seasons. A folded table is provided as a desk or dining table but space is tight! There is a table with an umbrella outside also. But you can walk to 2 good restaurants.

The owners of the property live across the road and were incredibly helpful and generous. They drove me to the 711 when I arrived for 3 nights during a holiday with no supplies. They also drove me to the port when I was leaving on a very hot day! The property offers free bikes which are essential for getting around the island. It is a 5 minute easy cycle to a the Benesse Art Site and the lovely beach where you can swim with the yellow pumpkin!
