Ento

This was our second trip to Oki, and staying at Ento, which wasn't there during our last visit, was undoubtedly the highlight of this journey. The stay exceeded all expectations. While it may seem inconvenient with access only by boat, no TV, and minimal amenities, the facility offers unique experiences such as a branch of the town library and exhibits from the Global Geopark. These features allowed us to enjoy an extraordinary time away from daily life. From the windows, we could frequently see boats passing between islands—a view that never got boring.We dined at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. The dinner was particularly outstanding with delicious dishes featuring local ingredients unique to Oki. They also arranged a surprise I had requested in advance, which delighted my companion immensely.The only downside was that the large communal bath was out of service during our stay; however, they kindly provided shuttle service to a public bath in town. We look forward to using their large bath on our next visit!

A panoramic ocean view from the window. It's no exaggeration to say this view is the reason for coming here. Far more breathtaking than any photo or video—nothing compares to seeing it with your own eyes. The location can be challenging to access due to transportation and ferry schedules, and good weather during your stay is essential, making it a rare opportunity. However, the view from the window here is absolutely worth it. I'm so glad I made it. Thank you for your hospitality!
