    Guest House Shell is a very cozy accommodation with traditional Japanese room decor. It's very easily accessible from the Naoshima Port Terminal, and there are nice restaurants and a few cafes around. The Art House Projects are just a 3-5min walk...

    Quiet and clean place. The owners, who were extremely kind, comes everyday to clean and collect payments in cash. Great value for money.

    本村港から近くご飯屋さんにも行きやすかった。 オーナーさんが優しく出迎えて下さり、説明書きも丁寧に書いて下さっているので快適に過ごす事が出来ました。 また、保護している猫との時間も設けて下さり、色々お話しを聞きながら猫とふれあいも出来ました。
