Kōda, Japan
Hitotsu Notojima
On Noto Island in Ishikawa Prefecture, Hitotsu Notojima distills the region's quiet, coastal character into eight rooms, each framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto water views. The design draws equally from traditional Japanese craft and Scandinavian minimalism — tatami, blonde wood, dark tile, and soaking tubs oriented toward the sea. Select rooms include private terraces and saunas; all connect to a spa with fragranced outdoor baths.
