What other travelers are saying about Uno Port Inn
We stayed at the Uno Port Inn as it was convenient to get the boats to Naoshima & Teshima during our September trip.
What a lovely little place! A comfortable room with a good sized breakfast and clean bathroom facilities (toilets and shower are not shared with others, but they are not inside your room).
The staff were superb–especially Minh–who helped us with planning our days and also luggage forwarding.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a budget-friendly accommodation option within close proximity of the art islands.
Overnight stays typically include accommodation in traditional tatami mat rooms with shoji screens, a communal bathing area with harbor views, and two meals—dinner and breakfast. Both meals feature fresh seafood caught daily from the Seto Inland Sea and regional specialties from Okayama Prefecture.
From Okayama Station, take the JR Uno Line for approximately 50 minutes to Uno Station. The inn is located just a 5-minute walk from the station. Okayama is well-connected to major cities including Tokyo, Osaka, and Hiroshima via the Shinkansen bullet train network.
Yes, Uno Port Inn is ideally positioned for visiting Naoshima Island and other art islands of the Seto Inland Sea. Ferry services to Naoshima depart regularly from the port terminal adjacent to the inn, with the journey taking only 20 minutes. The inn serves as a convenient base for exploring the region's contemporary art museums.
Advance reservations are required for overnight accommodation at Uno Port Inn. Day visitors interested in viewing the historic building should contact the inn directly, as public tours are limited to preserve the authentic experience for staying guests. Walk-in visits are generally not accommodated.
Minh, Long, Momo and all the team did a fantastic job in making us feel welcome and in taking care of us. The location is perfect for the passenger boats and the ferries to the art islands - any closer and you'd be in the ticket office! The included breakfast has a small fresh fruit, yoghurt and granola combo [or a bread basket choice] followed by a roll or beigel with an egg, bacon, sausage , fish sausage combo of your choice. Perfect if you're in a hurry to catch a ferry - the roll comes pre-wrapped too! The whole place has a lovely relaxed vibe with retro jazz music playing in the cafe. We had some excellent dinner recommendations for both nights of our stay. The rooms, named after film directors, are compact and very clean and you have your own private bathroom close by.
Give Long a promotion!
This inn is very convenient (including breakfast) when visiting the islands. However, the star of the show was Long who was extremely helpful and even came up with ideas how to plan our days efficiently!
Highly recommended 🫶
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at UNO Port Inn! The hospitality here is exceptional. Every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Our room, the “Miyazaki,” named after the legendary Japanese director, was cozy, charming, and full of personality. It’s clear a lot of love and thought have gone into this place.
The food at UNO Port Inn was also very good. The bagels were delicious, and the breakfast overall was balanced and satisfying, adding greatly to our delightful experience.
The staff were incredibly helpful, giving us detailed advice for our day trip to Teshima. Thanks to their thoughtful preparation, everything went perfectly smoothly.
If you’re debating between UNO Port Inn and the nearby “Uno Hotel,” don’t hesitate. Choose UNO Port Inn. The other place is a soulless imitation that has stolen the original idea and is unfairly taking customers. UNO Port Inn offers a genuinely special experience at a reasonable price, with warmth and character you won’t find anywhere else. Highly recommend!
It’s a Japanese style bedroom with the futons on the floor. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s a bit quirky because your private bathroom is down the hall for which you have a key. Has it all: homemade breakfast, location across from the ferry terminal making it easy to go toNaoshima art Island, laundry facilities for you too. How perfect is that I like this place a lot.
