Noёl is derived from the Latin word "birth". We created this space aiming to provide a place where people can encounter a new self by getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We would like to share with our guests the feeling that all of us had in childhood, that is to find a secret place that is hidden from the adults eyes, where you could enjoy your own imaginary world. We would be very grateful if visitors can value the facilities, the environment, and the space as if it were their own secret base or retreat place!
