Naoshima Cottage

Great little roomy cottage. Very clean and beautifully designed. A little out of town (10-15 walk) and a late check in, but a delightful stay.

Great stay here! We had considered some more expensive options on the island but everything was smooth and easy with this hotel. The bag delivery was easy and we rented our bikes through them too!

The cottage is very roomy and served my needs well. I checked in at Naoshima Tours, which is a couple blocks in from the ferry terminal and then it's about a 10 minute walk to the cottages. I had a roller suitcase and rucksack appropriately packed so I could leave the suitcase at Naoshima Tours and proceed with my rucksack. (They will transport luggage to/from the cottages for a fee.) Overall it's convenient but be prepared to get to the location. The cottage has a small kitchen area with refrigerator, sink, and microwave, which I used to make coffee in the morning and heat some takeout one evening. I reserved breakfast on two mornings, which is served in the hotel dining room, a short walk on a path up the hill adjacent to the cottages. The bathroom area is very small behind a sliding door with sink as you enter, toilet to the right (behind a door) and shower to the left. It was adequate for me. The only complaint I have is that there was no provision to hang up towels, which were provided in a basket in the kitchen.
