Uno Station × Recommended Hotel·Ryokan

A new stadium-integrated Hotel for a new era, created by Onko Chishin—the operator of Setouchi Retreat Aonagi and Goto Retreat ray, both selected as “One Michelin Key” in the MICHELIN Guide’s Hotel Selection. Of the 149 guest rooms, 126 face the Tamano Keirin velodrome track, offering breathtaking views of daily training sessions below and the Seto Inland Sea beyond the track. Just a 5-minute drive from the ferry terminal to the Setouchi area, this Hotel is ideally located for exploring the islands of the Seto Inland Sea and visiting the Setouchi Triennale, a contemporary art festival held once every three years.

Beyond the gentle sea breeze lies "Setonite," a private glamping experience offering an extraordinary escape with expansive views of the Seto Inland Sea. Under the clear blue sky, small islands shimmer on the sparkling sea. Listen closely, and you'll hear the soothing sound of gentle waves and the pleasant chirping of birds. Take a deep breath amidst the grandeur of Setouchi's nature and feel liberated from the everyday. How you enjoy this special time is entirely up to you. From local cuisine, culture, and activities to unique experiences made possible by connections with the local community. Discover a distinctive way to spend your time in Setouchi, born from the encounter between you and this extraordinary place.

A highly convenient location as a base for exploring Setouchi expands the possibilities of your journey. Just a 3-minute walk from Uno Port, the gateway to the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, including the globally renowned "Naoshima" for contemporary art. This convenient location broadens the horizons of your travels. ~Your Setouchi island journey begins in Uno~ With a natural modern design subtly infused with traditional Japanese elements, the space offers a calm and serene atmosphere. Furniture and decor throughout incorporate motifs inspired by the Setouchi and Okayama regions. We have prepared a Room that helps you refresh your mind and body, setting the tone for an active and fulfilling journey.

A private, whole-house Accommodation created by fully renovating a Showa-era home at Uno Port—the gateway to Okayama Prefecture—where ferries come and go to the Setouchi islands where everyday life and art intertwine, such as Naoshima and Teshima. What you’ll find here is a way of spending time that extends naturally from life in a seaside town: time to receive shifting light and passing breezes with your whole body, like a vessel. Interpreting Setouchi and Uno in our own way, we have composed an introspective space through custom-built furniture, antiques, music, and books. This is an in-town retreat—not for showing off to others, but for reconsidering your connection with yourself and the place, and for letting sensory, poetic feelings quietly mature.In other words, this is not a luxury Facility: there are no lavish meals or staffed services. There is no TV in the Room. And because we have preserved the structure of a Showa-era house, it may be somewhat less comfortable or insulated than modern homes. There is no breathtaking ocean view.We would be glad if you choose this place as somewhere to spend cradle-like hours—soaking in the afterglow of your journey, or resting right in its midst.

Experience the relaxing island time and immerse yourself in ART on the small island of NAOSHIMA, located in the heart of Okayama and Kagawa Prefectures, known as the "Sunny Land." Enjoy an ART tour while feeling the refreshing Seto breeze during the day, or experience the uniquely illuminated artworks like the nighttime pumpkin—an exclusive experience for those staying on the island. SPARKY’s House is conveniently located within walking distance from Miyanoura Port, the gateway to the island, and close to dining options. It is a safe and welcoming accommodation for solo female travelers and families with small children. In summer, enjoy swimming at the nearby beach, and in winter, the illuminations are highly praised. Come and witness the seasonal beauty of the Seto Inland Sea throughout the year!
