Guesthouse Shell Naoshima

Review by hotel critic

Our family recently enjoyed a pleasant stay at Guesthouse Shell, and I thought I'd share a bit about our experience! The room was spacious and tidy, which made it easy for us to settle in after our travels. One standout was the thoughtful breakfast basket waiting for us in the fridge, complete with my name—such a lovely touch! We appreciated the access to a shared kitchen, where we found a small fridge, which was great for keeping snacks. The two bathrooms were convenient for our family, especially during busy mornings. The location was ideal, just a stone's throw from the ferry to Uno and close to various Art House Project exhibitions, which we really enjoyed. My daughter loved the cozy futons, while the adults had mixed feelings. If you're a cat lover, don't miss the chance to ask the proprietor about the cat room—it’s a delightful addition!
