Ryokan Roka is a lovely, contemporary Ryokan an easy walk from the town of Honmaru, where the Art House Project is. The food is wonderful, which is a bonus because it is HARD to find good food on the island. We had a shiatsu massage and loved the hot soak tub in the suite. Excellent staff.

Roka Ryokan is a must if you plan to stay on Naoshima. My partner and I stayed in the deluxe ryokan in March 2024 which was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend this time of year where it’s not too cold to cycle around the island, however you can open up the doors and have the cool air enter the onsen area. The dinner included within the room was a highlight of the trip, where the beautifully curated menu showcased some of Japan’s best cuisine. We had a very special time here and will remember it forever!

Everything about the stay was exceptional. The rooms are designed in the most beautiful harmony with nature. The staff really make you feel like home.

All the food was fantastic and of a very high quality. They were able to provide for specific dietary requirements. The room was exquisite and the hotel won an architecture award last year. The staff were helpful and very responsive. Would Iove to stay there again. Location was walking distance to Chichu Museum.

no TV,

this is a super nice place to calm down yourself and take a break in live. Very relaxing. Hotel offers shuttle to the ferry terminal and other sightseeing spots. I like the private hot spring

Excellent place, perfect to relax after exploring the island. Enjoy a relaxing bath and after a delicious Kaiseki meal with sake pairing enjoy a Japanese Whiskey at the fireplace.

We loved the food but would have liked greater options - more a la carte

The whole Ryokan experience and the aesthetic of the rooms

Everything was tasteful, well thought out and the staff very welcoming. The rooms are very well appointed, the bath was excellent. The food was superb - we did both the standard kaiseki and the sushi on separate occasions, and the sushi was incredible.

Beautiful design. Private and luxury rooms/baths. Great meals. Knowledgeable and attentive staff. This should be a perfect 5 star review from everyone that has stayed here. It’s a new hotel so maybe some of the early reviews were from them working out opening issues. But our stay was perfect. They provide e-bikes and an on demand shuttle service across the whole island. Location is also very walkable to everywhere if you want to do that.

Perfect place to stay in Naoshima and to enjoy the art and nature. Don’t miss!

Sushi dinner was just ok and attitude of chef a tad strange. Minor thing.

It's like Japan: simple and perfect. Always-hot bath was wonderful. The lady from Belgium was most welcoming - thank you! Kaiseki dinner - superb! ... Everything was great basically.

Nothing to do with the hotel, but that night was very windy. The wind kept rattling the entrance door, so I could not sleep well as I am a light sleeper in general. The bathroom facing the mountain with floor to ceiling glass window gave me an onsen open feeling. It was clean and the temperature was very comfortable. It is surely safe and they assured no-one is outside, but I was shy to be totally naked in that environment. I drove a rental car to the hotel, and it was challenging to find a narrow street from the main road. I will ask for pick up service from the ferry terminal next time as they are so kind.

All staffs were amazing. Email communications was very smooth before the trip too. They are so friendly with high quality guest service manner and care. The staffs are from various countries, and they speak English. The foreign staffs speak wonderful Japanese too. A staff took us to buy lunch, took us to the museum, picked us up and completely took care of us and our needs. Dinner - it was wonderful. I was with my elderly mother, so requested less salt. All the food was so flavourful with Umami. I really wish I could go there again.

Not being able to afford living here I guess.

Everything. Not a single defect. Japanese luxury at its best. Worth every penny. Staff was remarkable too. As was everything really.

It is a ryokan so noise can travel. For the most part, very quiet, though you can occasionally hear other guests who forget to use their indoor voices (mostly Americans I'm sad to say).

This was the epitome of a modern ryokan--nods to the traditional with all the updated requirements. Beautiful aesthetic, amazing facilities, delicious food, and incredibly attentive staff. This really was a perfect stay.

Beautiful Ryokan, great and very attentive staff, excellent service, outstanding food - a very well deserved 10/10 and we hope to come back again soon! Location of the Ryokan is great to explore the whole island by foot or bycicle. The sushi dinner was the best sushi we had during one month in Japan. The room with the traditional onsen bath is beautifully designed and the attention to details was much appreciated - pure relaxation! Make sure to plan some time to enjoy the Ryokan itself next to exploring the art on the island

The rooms where not well sound proofed, which I guess it is hard to do in a Japanese traditional construction

Beautiful structure with large rooms, luxurious bathroom and private terrace. Dinner was a traditional saiseki Japanese meal and absolutely delicious. After dinner we had a night cap by the open fireplace. A great location from which to visit the whole island of Naoshima and the ryokan offers a comprehensive shuttle service.

We liked pretty much everything! Missed seeing the sea, but there were other compensations:-)

Beautifully designed contemporary ryokan. Simple but lovely garden setting with interesting art. Delicious food. Attentive, helpful staff. Wonderful shower/ofuro layout. Close to art village.

Naoshima Ryokan Roka is hands down the best place we stayed in Japan. The accommodation is stunning, tucked away and surrounded by trees. The rooms and shared spaces were beautiful and the private bath was enjoyed many times. We were also able to use Roka's E-bikes which allowed us to explore Naoshima with ease. The staff were exceptional - incredibly thoughtful, friendly and respectful and are without a doubt Roka's biggest assets.
