Facility

A place to prepare for an authentic experience.
Entô, also serving as the geopark's base facility, has an exhibition room called Geo Room Discover (admission: free) where you can learn about the formation of the Earth, the hidden beauty of the Oki Islands, and the unique characteristics of the Dōzen Islands. Once you've completed your introduction, head out to the ever-changing island landscape to experience the true colors, sounds, and scents that only nature can offer. Immerse yourself in landscapes you can only see today, and in the unique natural beauty and human activities that are found nowhere else.

A place connected to billions of years ago.
On the first floor of the annex (Entô NEST), you'll find a space featuring a panoramic ’Geo-Scape’ and fossils of ancient creatures such as dinosaurs. This space reflects the ongoing changes in the Earth’s landscape, stretching back billions of years to the present day, where you can now experience the Oki Islands. Sit back on the solitary sofa, feel the accumulation of time, and relax as you take in the profound connection to the past.

The fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits provided by the island’s producers, along with seaweed and herbs harvested by the staff, are the stars of Entô’s kitchen. With the motto of "local production for local consumption," our chefs add their creative touch to seasonal ingredients, crafting dishes that can only be enjoyed here on the island. These seasonal courses are designed to offer a unique culinary experience for all who visit.

The water is a mild, alkaline hot spring. Relax in the natural hot spring while watching ships pass by the sea through the window.

Next to the entrance hall of the main building (Entô BASE), there is a store (Select Shop). You can purchase the flavors and scents you experienced during your stay, as well as Entô original goods and carefully selected Oki specialties. Please feel free to stop by.
