Calm, peaceful, excellent dinners and breakfasts. Loved the onsen bath in room overlooking the forest area with bamboo sculptures. Spaciousness of bedroom and not having to sleep directly on tatami mats! Thank you for spectacular stay!!

These are first rate rooms and the whole area is beautifully designed. Excellent dinners but it falls short on the 'western' breakfast. Highly eccentric and should be removed or completely reworked. Very pleasant staff willing to shuttle you to wherever you like.

Absolutely beautiful modern ryokan experience. Very quiet. Dining is in the restaurant, not the room, which is fine. Service is lovely by an international, less Japanese staff (needed as there are simply not enough people living on Naoshima to support the museum/tourism). We went in the summer raining season before schools let out, and it was very peaceful.

The facility is beautiful. Could have been better with a public onsen or a real onsen instead of bathtub with onsen essence. Felt gimmicky serving tourists perhaps first time in Japan. Head chef speaks fluent English but did not interact with us. Attracts and gears towards foreigners. The walls between rooms are very thin, able to hear noise from both sides when sliding doors or playing music. For authentic Japanese ryokan, it did it felt like that.

Dishes are delicious. The service of staff is good, some of them can speak English, so it’s good. However hot spa is not good enough. Actually it’s uncomfortable to use. Ah! Campfire is very impressive at night and the zen style garden is also nice,

행복한 나오시마 료칸 여행
1. 숙소가 굉장히 청결하며, 조금의 흐트러짐 없이 모든 사항들이 완벽하게 준비되어 있습니다.
2. 안도 타다오의 나오시마와 일본의 료칸을 완벽하게 즐길 수 있습니다.
3. 아침과 저녁 식사 또한 높은 퀄리티의 일본 전통음식을 체험할 수 있었습니다.
4. 직원들이 정말 친절하고, 세심하게 배려해준 덕분에 행복한 여행을 할 수 있었습니다.
조만간 다시 방문할 예정입니다.
감사합니다.
