It takes about 1 hour by ferry from Takamatsu Port, and about 20 minutes from Uno Port in Okayama.
Naoshima is an island with a long history that prospered as a strategic point of maritime transportation during the Edo period.
Naoshima Ryokan Roka” opened in the Honmura district, where the old townscape still remains.
Many people think of art when they think of Naoshima.
Naoshima’s efforts to match the works of architects and contemporary artists such as Tadao Ando and Yayoi Kusama with the townscape and nature have been well received, and the island is now known as a “sacred place for contemporary art.
It is known to attract art fans from all over Japan and the world.
The neat exterior of the one-story building is Japanese style itself.
The large hipped roof at the center of the building is eye-catching, and beneath it is a sunken hearth!
This outdoor hearth is like a work of art.
It will be a place for guests to talk with each other around the fire.

The charm of Roka is that you can enjoy art in the entire inn.
The hotel has a collection of works by young Japanese contemporary artists, and looks as if it will become a new art spot on Naoshima.
Combined with the Japanese hospitality, it is sure to please guests from abroad.

The Seto Inland Sea, where Naoshima Island is located, is known for its delicious fish.
Naturally, the inn offers two different monthly courses for dinner: the “Sushi Course Plan” and the “Kaiseki Course Plan,” both of which feature fresh seafood as the main course.
The sushi course is a unique and creative style that only Rokasumi can offer, starting with an appetizer, followed by innovative sushi and a bowl of soup …….
You are sure to be excited to see what will be served next.
All of the dishes are vegan, of course, but they can also accommodate pescatarians who do not eat meat but do eat seafood and dairy products, as well as those with allergies.
This wide range of dietary accommodations is a delight.
