“Naoshima Island's contemporary take on a traditional Ryokan strikes all the right notes. Beauty in simplicity — and of course private onsens and 5 star gourmet cuisine. Contemporary art adorns the walls and gardens and the service is impeccable. Minimalist Japanese style meets understated luxury.”

Hotel review

Everything about this ryokan invites relaxation, from the comfortable, light and spacious rooms to the gardens filled with sculptures and the helpful and attentive staff who make everything seem possible! Sit out on your private terrace and enjoy a soak in the onsen with no noise but the breeze in the trees. Explore the island's many artistic attractions with ease on one of the hotels ebikes or through their shuttle service. Feast on locally caught seafood and Wagyu beef! The café-bar Moya is a meeting place for locals, artists and guests alike.
