Absolutely beautiful modern ryokan experience. Very quiet. Dining is in the restaurant, not the room, which is fine. Service is lovely by an international, less Japanese staff (needed as there are simply not enough people living on Naoshima to support the museum/tourism). We went in the summer raining season before schools let out, and it was very peaceful.

These are first rate rooms and the whole area is beautifully designed. Excellent dinners but it falls short on the 'western' breakfast. Highly eccentric and should be removed or completely reworked. Very pleasant staff willing to shuttle you to wherever you like.

So beautifully minimalist, superb decor and amazing service from the staff. The sushi dinner was delicious. It was so easy to organise pickups and drop-offs.

Calm, peaceful, excellent dinners and breakfasts. Loved the onsen bath in room overlooking the forest area with bamboo sculptures. Spaciousness of bedroom and not having to sleep directly on tatami mats! Thank you for spectacular stay!!

The facility is beautiful. Could have been better with a public onsen or a real onsen instead of bathtub with onsen essence. Felt gimmicky serving tourists perhaps first time in Japan. Head chef speaks fluent English but did not interact with us. Attracts and gears towards foreigners. The walls between rooms are very thin, able to hear noise from both sides when sliding doors or playing music. For authentic Japanese ryokan, it did it felt like that.

Experiência excelente em Naoshima
Experiência incrível.
Voltaria com toda certeza.
Hospitalidade, disponibilidade, serviço, instalaçōes, apartamento e comida excelentes.
Minha única crítica é quanto ao horário restrito para café da manhã e jantar.
O café começa as 08hs apenas. No meu caso eles gentilmente anteciparam 15’.
E o jantar deve começar até as 19:30 pois se trata de um longo menu degustação.
Tirando esses 2 pontos, o Roka entrega uma grande experiência.
