    The bed was very soft and comfy. It had everything we needed and was well located on the bus line and with a good restaurant, Regalo, a block away.

    We arrived a bit early before check in time to store luggage and explore but they had the room ready for us to check in. The location although outside of the main town areas, has a bus stop right outside so it is easy to get to anywhere on the...

    The host was friendly, he offers bike for free. The room was very clean and the area was quite with few restaurants around. Location is not very central but the island is so tiny, so it really doesn't matter. There is a bus station nearby...

    The property was very close to the local bus route stop. The owner was friendly and let us in a bit earlier than check-in. The apartment met our travel needs.

    Comfortable, well sized cabins in a great location. Right next to the bus stop, and Benesse Museum is an easy 15 minute walk away. A number of places to eat in the same street and around the corner.

    I really liked Episode1. It was clean, the owners were very friendly and helpful. It’s very convenient that they offer bikes since transportation on Naoshima is limited and the museums are not so close for walking. I enjoyed my stay!

    The neighborhood is so nice and friendly. Basically you are in between town and the beach and the bust stop is right in the door. We arrived early and the property manager help us immediately and even opened the door of our room before check in...

    The quiet residential area was great, after the crowds of Benesse House and Chichu Museum. I wish I could have stayed longer, to make use of the kitchen facilities. Handy bus route, but I actually walked back and forth to the Onsen, and to the...
