“Bohemian retreat by the inland sea”
+Situated beside a reserve with a river and large lily pond, Ensoh provides a bohemian escape for weary travelers. You will be right at home with your friendly host Brett, who is a native English speaker, and his lovely wife. They really go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The house is very arty and full of curios. With linen sheets, feather pillows and comfy futons, the home is fully equipped with everything you need. A functional kitchen enabled some memorable family meals and the beautiful sitting area with its own Japanese garden was an added pleasure. Our whole family loved it!

+Beautiful house on the hill. Very relaxing. There were also bicycles and a path for hiking behind the house. The decoration and garden was very beautiful.

+Beautiful old house, easy access to naoshima with the electric bikes provided. Bret and his lovely family welcomed us and gave us a rode back and forth to the train station. Highly recommended!
−Our kids a little afraid of the spiders around the house but we did not see any in the house.

“Relaxing couple of days”
+This was a gorgeous house to stay for a few nights. Very interesting artistic additions to an old Japanese house. Lots to look at inside! Hosts Brett, Sayako and Ren were so hospitable and welcoming. It was nice to relax in our own house and enjoy some space. Great access for day tripping to Okayama or the islands The beds were comfy

“Superb”
+We loved our stay at Ensoh. It is a lovely place, very quiet, comfortable and nice to have some space after a couple of weeks in hotels and ryokans. We stayed four nights and used it as a base while we visited Naoshima (the electric bikes are fantastic for getting to the port and riding round the island) and Hiroshima as well as the local area. Pick up and drop off from the train or bus from Okayama by the hosts ( as well as the bikes) make it very accessible. Well worth the detour from the main tourist trail!!

“Exceptional”
+Fantastic host and was super flexible when we had problems travelling due to a typhoon. If you’re looking for a corporate hotel experience this is probably not the right place for you but the house is full of charm, attention to detail and set in a beautiful location. Brett even picked us up at the train station and spent over an hour, explaining the local area and sharing his tips and experience. The possibility to use the four electric bikes to travel around the island made everything very easy. Would love to stay longer but I’ll flight awaits.

“Superb”
+Friendly hospitality, excellent recommendations for local activities and restaurants, plenty of room for a rainy day (we had 1, and used it as a rest day), good access to Naoshima, Okayama. Very quiet location, birds, sakura. Pick up and drop off at the station at start and finish of our trip
−Not a complaint ... it is a bit of a walk from the station, up a small hill. Those with mobility issues need to consider this
