Cottages in Naoshima

Lou Lousberg Netherlands

Great location, 4mins from the ferry, the host was very welcoming and warm. The beds were very comfy and it was cozy sleeping together in the same room. Everything was really clean, highly recommend this place!

a really beautiful wee bungalow right on the beachfront. The managers met us at the ferry... but it is really only a short walk up the hill. A stunning position overlooking a bay... extremely comfortable and very beautifully designed. Some very noisy neighbors (also guests in the attached house) one night, but the managers dealt with that quickly so it was resolved the following night!

Four electric bikes were available, which is perfectly adapted to visit Naoshima. The house is fully equiped with brand new furnitures.

Just about everything but the host was the best part!

We love everything about JuJu Art House and Naoshima. Naoshima is a beautiful and unique island and Juju Art House is a must stay if you intend to stay overnights in Naoshima. It is located just about 7mins walk from the port and if you intend to cook, a big grocery store is just 5mins away. And if you cannot cycle and intend to take the town bus, there is a bus stop near the house (so u do not have to walk to and fro the port bus stop all the times). As for the house, all the great reviews you have read are all true! It is unique, spacious, comfortable, very clean and well maintained and managed. The game set is incredible even my 4 grown children had so much fun with it. Lastly the host is an incredible, friendly, most helpful and detailed person. He will inform you in advance of where to eat, what to look out for and always ready to provide you the best advice. Thank you Marc. Your house is the best and so is you.

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)
