We are pleased to share that Entô has received the
Japan Travel Awards2026 – Sustainable Award.

but something we stand with.

and for expressing sustainability as something open and without barriers.

At Entô, we will continue to listen carefully to the rhythm of the island,
and to explore ways of offering hospitality that is honest,
and without separation.
