Lack of human touch. No movement around the house. Had a lot of privacy though but no one to interact with as a solo traveler

Traditional property . A great old home. They kept my luggage before and after check in. They had a great V and GF cafe across the road with amazing food

If you're looking for a luxury experience, this may not align with your expectations. It's a quintessential island/rustic guest house experience that worked great on a budget.

(Please note I speak Japanese) The staff are wonderfully kind and accommodating. We had no issues checking in/dropping our bags off early (very helpful due to the ferry schedule), and he went out of his way to give us recommendations for places to eat, even helping us make a reservation (which likely wasn't strictly needed, but we were very grateful nonetheless). They also provide a simple, hearty breakfast in the morning. The facilities are just what you expect from a guest house, which did mean sharing one bathroom and shower among all the guests––which was not a problem. The location was also fairly convenient for our needs: it's right off of a bus stop and is a very short walk to the Honmura port (from which we took an early commuter ferry back to Uno; note that we did enter Naoshima and leave for a day trip to Teshima via the Miyanoura port, which was a short bus ride or ~30 minute walk away). Overall, especially considering the limitations of staying on an island, we were pleased with this stay!

The host was very difficult to reach. Unfortunately they didn't take our phone calls and only sometimes replied to messages. The bathroom has a problem with mold.

This accomodation was exceptionally cheap and therefore so worth our money. The breakfast was as tasty and made you full which is perfect when wanting to use your whole day for exploring the museums on Naoshima. The host was friendly and even brought me some extra futons, when I asked for some. The location is amazing and right next to several of the art houses. You can also reach Chichu within 10 minutes by bike. The room was also quite spacious, even had a small TV.

Stuff was very kind

Room was comfy, good size, but there is a time we are allowed to shower, and can be an issue. The location is good, check in was easy, but to find the place was so so, because the name is not too visible. Was worth it.

Breakfast was included. But you need to book /reserve this the day before. This was not explained to us on checking in. Only saw contact email on small sign on shelf on last day.

Very well located.

Since the house is quite old, the facilities and bathroom may look a bit dated and not very convenient, but it’s not terrible. The staff didn’t seem very welcoming, which might be due to language barriers as their English wasn’t very strong. The staircase is also quite steep, so it might be inconvenient if you have heavy luggage.

The location is right in the heart of Honmura Port Village, close to the bus stop and various restaurants. The house is quite old, but the bedroom was clean and acceptable. We got a corner room with windows on two sides — bright and very comfortable. The price was reasonable and not expensive. The restaurant, which seems to be part of the ryokan, is located across the street and serves good-quality set lunch meals, though the price might be slightly on the higher side.

The food was delicious. As a vegetarian, it was difficult to find appropriate food in the country but at this guesthouse, you will eat well and feel nourished. I would stay again just for the food. :D

The room was a little cold, so I used both futons in the room.

Very friendly and helpful host, location close to Honmura Port and the Art House Project.

It's not a palace but it's pretty decent.

A room in a traditional house. We had the downstairs room, which wasn’t as noisy as we thought it would be, what with it being next to the bathroom and toilet. Other guests were quiet and respectful. In a good location in Honmura, an interesting village with mini art galleries, which I recommend visiting with the combined ticket. The breakfast of brown rice balls and miso soup was very tasty and nutritious and part of island culture.

Basic guesthouse with very friendly staff. Facilities are shared and clean. Lunch in vegan restaurant (opposite the guesthouse) of the same owners is very nice. They will also provide the breakfast plate which can be found in the communal kitchen of the guesthouse. Storage of luggage is no problem (before check-in and/or after check-out).

Breakfast was disappointed. 2 Onigiri(rice ball), Miso soup, and Tsukemono(pickle). Bathroom was too cold when taking shower.

It is located in the middle of Honmura. Especially it is right nextdoor of 'Art House project : Ginza' You can have great experience in traditional Japanese style house.

Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind. They made us comfortable and offered advice on what to do. They also let us keep our luggage there while we continued exploring the island on our last day. Arigato Gozaimashita!

As the house is traditional paper walls, it was a small bit noisy so recommend earplugs!

The owner was so lovely and welcoming. Room was basic but clean, in a traditional Japanese guest house with futons etc. Close to the art houses and a bike rental, as well as excellent vegan food in the adjacent restaurant.
