It’s a nicely done rental house. One floor, tatami bedroom and living room. The shower was suuuper good (push the child lock button on the shower lever to move it more to increase the heat further). It is adjacent to the owner’s cafe, so you can grab a nice coffee (milk or soy milk) easily in the morning (there’s powder coffee in the kitchen, too), and it is right across the road from the Haisha art house. Fairly close to a pizza/pasta restaurant that served surprisingly nice dishes (I had wild boar sausages with a watermelon soup as a starter), which is also the only no-reservation required place open in the evenings (there are two other restaurants open). The air in the place is really fresh and nice, because everything is basically new, and they have a separate air cleaner, dehumidifier and two air conditioning units… so it’s really comfortable even at the height of the heat and humidity outside. The bedding is a thick foam futon mattress with another more traditional futon mattress that you can optionally put on top of that (plus the rest. )I was comfortable. After check-in, you are free to come and go anytime, and there are some night time art sights. Take great care about the ferry times if island hopping. Some ferries permit you to take your bicycle (go electric… hills), and that will make things a lot easier. There are buses. There are very few taxis on Naoshima, and only a single taxi on Teshima that is unlikely to be unbooked.

The location was perfect, such a gorgeous part of the island. Really close to a lot of the art attractions and a fab beach at Gotanji. The accommodation provided power assist bikes which were excellent and essential for getting around at your own pace. The apartment was perfect in size and in facilities. The host gave us recommendations for places to eat which were so good.

One Rest and it´s owner and host was a great experience. Perfectly located close to Honmura Port and the Art House project ++. I will recommend One Rest to everyone going to Naoshima

Johnny was a very helpful host and speaks very good English. His place is convenient, clean and comfortable. A really good size for two people. Just a few minutes walk from the centre of Honmura and close to the bus stop for getting around the island. Also has space for a couple of bikes.

4th bed (on the sofa) was a bit lumpy

Great bathroom and shower!

Having more blankets available would have been good. No fault of this provider but the cafes and restaurants only seem to cater for day tourists. Start shutting down from 5pm. We went looking for dinner at 6pm and while over 12 restaurants the only 2 who had been open closed as out of food. So bri g your own or arrive early and load up from 7/11.

Facilities good. Great bath.

I was a little disappointed that we had to pay an extra $100 when adding a third person after booking. It seemed like a lot but I understand that pricing for lodging is different in Japan.

We liked the location but you do need to be aware of the ferry schedule if you plan to arrive at the Honmura Port. The house is conveniently located near the Art House Project, cafes and restaurants. We highly recommend Luke's Pizza & Grill which is an easy walk from the house. Our stay was comfortable with plenty of space for three people (2 on futon, 1 on the pullout sofa). The bathroom was spacious with shelves to store toiletries and a good-sized shower area with bath. Kitchen was well-stocked and came with instant coffee and tea which came in handy as the cafe next door wasn't open. Not sure if there were bikes we could have used, but that would have been really nice. We ended up renting e-bikes from the other side of the island. Communication with OneRest was easy and we always received a quick reply.

Centrally located in the art-house area. Comfortable and spacious for a solo traveller or couple. Last time I was in Naoshima I stayed at a guest house, sharing common areas with other travellers. I much preferred this option of having a whole property to myself. There is a small take-out cafe in front of the property but it operates only for a few hours in the middle of the day, so it wasn't a noise problem. You do occasionally hear the commerical fridge. It is close to a road intersection, so when the buses start moving it gets reasonably noisy (after 8am & finishing around 5-6pm). Not a big problem - but just advising. If you want to buy groceries - the local co-op closes around 4pm, and the 7-eleven, which is not far from the main ferry terminal, (& has longer hours) is a 30 minute walk away. So buy your supplies when you arrive from the ferry.

We absolutely loved the one rest private apartment. It was so spacious and had all the facilities we could possibly need. The tatami traditional style bedroom was lovely. The whole place was thoughtfully decorated and felt cosy. The owner was very helpful and kind. I thought honmura was a great location to be in perfect to bike ride or bus to other locations as well as having the beautiful art house projects in the same area. There was heating and cooling, all the amenities we could need. I did not ask about laundry but I’m sure Kisake would have helped with this as well.

This is wonderful place if you do not expect hotel comfort but rather local, rural accomodation. It is clean and nice, secures privacy and gives the flavour of local Japanese house. BAthroom and kitchen offer all what is needed. And it is close to all galleries and interesting places in Naoshima. The staff is very helpful and provides all local information and assistance. Overall it was very positive experience.
