Rumah Kotej di Naoshima

It is a lovely Japanese typical house, impeccably clean, every detail meticulously cared for with Super Helpful Hosts who picked us up at the port in a brand new huge luxury SUV and drove us around, drove us to the bicycle rental, drove us next day to the other port. The hosts made local dinner reservations for us at a hidden local gem Japanese restaurant called Ebisukamo just 3 blocks away from the house. Delicious local food. The house is well located in Honmura (a typical Japanese village) only 5 min walk from Honmura ferry port with unbelievably comfortable Western style beds & soft premium bedding. Not tatami mats - these are real Western beds with excellent comfort & lovely duvets. Heated well (we were there Dec 28 & 29 and were very warm). The large kitchen is sunny with large wooden table for 6+ to eat. The stove works well, medium-large refrigerator with small freezer. There is a good clothes washing machine in the bathroom and dryer in the bathroom. Our 3 adult kids slept in 3 fabulously comfortable twin beds in the back bedroom and the sliding doors closed between that bedroom and the living room where the hosts set up a large queen bed for my husband & I. There was a little sofa & coffee table next to our superbly comfortable queen bed. Absolutely excellent place to stay with hosts who go the extra mile for you and the perfectly well-maintained home they rent is extremely pleasant, sunny & comfortable, and interesting typical Japanese also. Highly recommend.

The house is great, the location is perfect and the staff is amazing. It was very clean and we had a lovely stay. The owner left some food for us (bread, bananas, coffee and jam) and was very welcoming.

The host is very kind and gave us a ride to a bike rental shop after checking in and to the port after check out.

The hosts were wonderful! They picked us up from the port, took care of our luggage, and dropped us off afterwards. Wonderful location and stay. Would go back any day!

I fell in love with this house. It was incredible. Everything I imagined a traditional Japanese style home to be. Plenty of space. A calming aesthetic. Quality home. A lot of outdoor space which must be wonderful in good weather. Plenty of heating. Plenty of blankets. Pyjamas supplied. I wish I could live there - that’s how beautiful it is. I am so grateful for the chance to stay here. Good value for the space. Also, I have to thank the hosts for being so kind, warm and friendly in their communication and for being so generous and helpful. This would be an ideal base for exploring Naoshima. I walked to Uno Port in 30 mins, but without backpack it could be quicker. Probably there is a bus but I didn’t look. It felt so nice staying in a town not routinely visited by tourists. After the crowds of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka etc this was a welcome respite and a chance to slow down and see a small town, real life.

This perfectly preserved traditional japanese house proved to be the perfect housing for our stay exploring Teshima and Naoshima. Alan, the host, proved to be invaluable in his recommendations about how to best visit the islands. He also gave us tasty addresses for lunch and dinner and even drove us there at night. We think the villa is the perfect setting for a family, it provided us for a welcome respite during our very busy 2 weeks in Japan. We rented bikes and thanks to them, we were able to crisscross Teshima although your youngest son is only 10. Alan not only welcomed us right at the ferry arrival but was always in touch with us before and during the stay. 10/10 ! (The sister villa "Queen" looks very nice too)
