Touch the soil, savor each day
A small hotel in the countryside
About
About NOTEL
Shodoshima floats in the Seto Inland Sea.
NOTEL is a seven-room small hotel nestled in Hitoyama, a farming village rich in tradition.
Housed in a renovated former elementary school, the inn offers simple rooms and a dining kitchen you can use while gazing at the mountains.
Time spent at NOTEL is time to slowly savor everyday life. Walking through nature, cooking and eating, sleeping deeply—none of it is extraordinary, yet these are the ordinary moments that busy days somehow make hard to enjoy. We hope you can spend that kind of time here.
Use NOTEL as your base for a journey that touches everyday life on Shodoshima, not just its sightseeing spots.
We would be delighted if, while feeling the lives passed down in this land, you could spend time in which your mind and body gradually grow lighter.
