A superb addition to the creative haven of Naoshima Island, Ryokan Rokasumi brings new levels of luxury to this fascinating region. A traditional ryokan feel is retained in Roka’s classic design features, tatami matting and exemplary Japanese hospitality. The spacious suites all with private open-air baths - as well as outstanding dining options – elevate the experience here above that usually found in even the better ryokans.
Every element of the property’s eleven suites and tranquil grounds has been designed to instil a feeling of serenity, as well as a conscious connection to the natural environment. After a soak in the privacy of your open-air bath, unwind on your deck taking in the gentle island breezes or stroll through the gardens discovering the sculptures hidden in the greenery. Contemporary artworks are dotted throughout the ryokan and grounds, providing a deep-rooted sense of place; Naoshima is, after all, known as Japan’s ‘art island’. A fine collection of galleries can be found within easy reach of the ryokan, as can the charming port village of Honmura.
