Port Uno Inn is a cool, down-to-earth spot perfect for travelers heading to Naoshima. The vibe is super chill, with a casual, backpacker feel. After a day of exploring, grabbing a beer and burger here is just what you need. Plus, almost everyone staying here is going to Naoshima, so it’s easy to swap tips and chat about the galleries.
The location is ideal, right across from the ferry terminal, and the laundry facilities are a great bonus for longer trips. Ming, Long, and Takashi, who work there, are fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help.
The breakfast is also worth mentioning—I loved the smoked salmon bagel. If you’re looking for a relaxed, friendly base to explore the area, this place is perfect.
