Concept

“A tiny dot on Earth”

Entô is situated in Ama Town, part of the Oki UNESCO Global Geopark, and serves as a lodging facility that also allows visitors to explore the Geopark’s wonders. True to its concept of “A tiny dot on Earth,” this hotel offers a unique experience in the midst of serene, unspoiled nature, far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

The hotel combines the functions of accommodation, with rooms, hot springs, and dining, and a space to immerse oneself in the Geopark’s appeal. In the attached Geo Room “Discover,” guests can learn about the formation of the Earth and the Oki Islands, preparing themselves for real-life exploration on the island. Additionally, the Geo Lounge features fossil displays, offering a glimpse into billions of years of Earth’s history.

All experiences here are designed to connect you with the Earth’s geology. You can venture out actively to explore the island or simply relax within the facility—what’s most important is to follow your heart and spend your time as you please.

Rooms

Annex: NEST WA (ネスト ワ)

The hotel features 36 rooms across its main and annex buildings, characterized by their modern and minimalist design. All rooms are oceanfront, separated from the grandeur of nature by just a pane of glass. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a sense of oneness with the surrounding environment. From the large windows, you can enjoy sweeping views of Oki’s stunning natural landscapes, from the vast ocean to the lush mountains, changing with the seasons. The serene atmosphere rejuvenates both body and mind.

The annex, NEST WA, offers various room types, including:

Luxurious Suites, Modern Japanese style rooms with tatami mats (ideal for families with children), Single rooms, rooms with baths including the view of the ocean.

Small Bathhouse

The hotel also has a large public bath with sodium-calcium chloride hot springs, known for relieving fatigue. Guests can soak in the warm waters while gazing at the surrounding nature, creating an unparalleled sense of luxury.

Dining

The focus is on local production for local consumption. Nearly all the meat and fish used are sourced from producers on the island. Anything unavailable locally is crafted in-house, and even the simplest ingredients are thoughtfully enhanced. Each meal is prepared with great care to delight guests, resulting in dishes that exude warmth and are exceptionally delicious.

Seasonal ingredients are combined with creative ideas from the staff, resulting in unique course meals that can only be experienced here. Because the menu changes with the seasons, every visit offers something new to discover.

Breakfast features locally grown Ama Town rice accompanied by a variety of side dishes and soups. The gentle flavors are so comforting that you may find yourself savoring each bite with closed eyes, feeling the nourishment seep into your body.
