    We loved the location, only a 10-15 minute walk from the port, and beautifully located by a beach. Both the tents and the sauna was excellent. Plus we really liked the breakfast.

    Maybe wifi can be better but only in the rooms where signal is poor. Nothing more to complain about.

    The location, facilities, room, services, etc. Everything was perfect, more than we expected. And of course the staff was wonderful. They made it even better made us fell like home.

    Check out was at 10am, a little on the early side. Either way, they were kind enough to hold my bags as I zipped around the museums in the morning.

    Beautiful facilities, felt great to really escape and soak in the Naoshima views. The rooms were super clean and the location was convenient. After renting an e-bike at the port, access was super easy. Dinner was also delicious.

    We had friends that recommended another property that was booked. We are so glad, because we found Sana Mane!! Our Glamp Dome had water front sunrise views a private dining bunker that was the best meal experience of our vacation, our host was so friendly and helped with everything from sauna, meals and transpo. An intimate property close to nature yet high in creature comforts. This is a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal and very private. You will love it. And yes, there's a bathroom and heat in your dome-- it's better than a hotel room!

    We thought the breakfast and dinner were not worth the value. The quantity were very small and it wasn’t cheap. (My boyfriend is vegetarian and they were open to adapt the menu, but the cost was the same and in this case the perception of value is even worse.)

    The experience was very nice. We loved Sazae (sauna) and our tent with ocean view., Staff was very cheerful, amenities and facilities were nice and the room was very clean.

    Quite tricky to get along the 10 min walk with wheeled bags in heat! Backpacks are better. 4 can sleep in one tent... but unless 2 are kids, book 2 tents!

    Great tents, fire pit, little BBQ area (pre-book this) drinks and food can be ordered here too - menu in japanese

    No heat in the dome tent. It got a bit chilly at night during mid October.

    If you are still reading this and can afford to stay at this property, stop and book it immediately! The location is amazing: right on the beach of a little cove to the west of the port, an easy 1/2 mile walk. The large dome tent holds the beds, shower/toilet, a small round table and two beach recliner chairs. There is a very satisfactory AC unit (at least for early October). The beds are comfortable and face the clear portion of the dome towards the sea. Easily drawn curtains provided privacy and light blocking when needed. Meals are taken outside in a private, partially enclosed room next to the dome. We enjoyed 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners and enjoyed the quality of the food as well as the excellent service. Kobe beef was included as a large part of both dinners, and it was a pleasure to grill it up ourselves on the BBQ grill that is part of the dining area. The staff are responsive, cheerful, and competent. They were delighted to help us change meal times around and sample a few extras available at mealtime. Staying at Sana Mane was one of the highlights of our trip!

    Not much to complain although would be perfect if… The black out curtains are improved. A small gap at the top of the blackout curtain prevented from getting a good night sleep. But forces you to wake up early and get outside to enjoy the perfect scenery by the beach. Wonderful sauna facility designed by a famous architect Kengo Kim’s. We had trouble sleeping with mosquitoes inside the yurt. And despite having a good working air conditioner, it gets too hot in the morning with blazing sunlight directly hitting the transparent ocean view window of the yurt. Maybe the forest view is better for folks who likes to sleep in a bit late to catch the museum opening time.

    Great staff and owner! Very personal and caring in every aspects.

    You had to pay extra to use the sauna, while our stay was already very expensive. that said the sauna is incredible, it was designed by an architect, just a shame you have to pay extra when you are staying at the hotel.

    The tents with ocean view are exceptional, the bonfire at night was a really nice touch to meet with other people staying there. The breakfast & bbq for dinner were really nice too.
