Quiet cosy location with everything you need

Location, very quiet area, the accommodation had absolutely everything we needed, (including washing machine) the beds were cosy and comfortable, their was a fully functional kitchen, outdoor area, bus stop across the road, easy walk to Naoshima Port and Tsutsuji-so. The host arranged a ride for us to the port on the day we were leaving which was a lovely surprise.

We would say here again if coming back to Naoshima.

Comfortable beds, great shower/bath, quiet, use of bikes, location right at bus stop and near seashore, host drove us to e-bike rental as a courtesy. Ramen shop and Okonayami restaurant very close by. We arrived early and were able to check in. Location a short bus ride r a 20-minute walk from Honduran port.

A fantastic value property close to a few restaurants, the bus stop, and easy access to the art sites and museum.

Very cosy and the bike being free to use was an excellent addition.

I loved this little apartment in Naoshima!

This apartment had everything I needed for a three night stay. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. Tea and coffee were supplied. Microwave, gas stove top, toaster oven and a decent sized fridge were all there. The bed and pillow was the most comfortable I experienced in Japan. I really appreciated the washing machine as well as some clothes washing liquid. The heater worked well and I was cosy in no time. The apartment was very handy to the local bus stop, right outside the door! There were two eateries close by, one specialising in okonomiyaki and the other Italian.

Our 3 day stay was delightfully comfortable

This is a simple little apartment where everything works. It’s not fancy but really serviceable and in an excellent location for walking everywhere to see all the large museums and the small art houses. A lovely gesture from the owner who organised transport for us to the port when we left.

We loved our stay at Episode 1 and wished we could stay longer.

Loved the location and the host was very kind. Loved that we could borrow bikes to ride around the island. There were a couple of inexpensive restaurants nearby.

Lovely simple room for your stay in beautiful Naoshima

Was a nice clean room. We travelled to the room by bike which we hired as soon as we arrived at the port. Owner was friendly and the room was clean. They also have bikes you can use at your leisure but they're not battery powered so some may struggle with the hilly terrain.

Great for what I needed!

Clean, affordable, free bike (no gears or electric tho and there are hills so maybe hire one from the other side of town). Good location, even in off peak. Just check the times of the restaurants to eat as places close early. It’s a small island but you are on the other side of town so not as many options.

Perfection!

An altogether amazing stay for the Setouchi Triannale. The bus-stop is right outside and the host goes out of his way to facilitate your transfer to the port.

A very enjoyable stay in a quiet fishing village away from the busy part of Naoshima but handy to all attractions.

Great quiet location. Handy to art sites, either by waking,cycling or by bus. Host was very gracious and helpful. Close to great Italian restaurant and a great Okonomiyaki restaurant across the road. Bus stop just outside.
