Azumi Setoda

What We Think

Azumi Setoda stands as a testament to the beauty of Japanese architecture and design, where every element is thoughtfully curated to enhance the guest's experience of tranquility and harmony. Built around a 140-year-old family residence, the ryokan has been beautifully restored and expanded by renowned architect Shiro Miura, creating a bridge between its rich historical past and a modern minimalist aesthetic. The accommodations feature tatami floors, sliding fusuma doors, and elegant wooden baths, offering guests a deep sense of place and tradition. The on-site onsen provides a relaxing retreat, using naturally heated mineral water that soothes and rejuvenates.

What It Is

A tranquil boutique ryokan located on Ikuchijima Island in the Seto Inland Sea, offering a refined interpretation of traditional Japanese hospitality infused with contemporary elegance.

What It Isn't

A bustling resort; Azumi Setoda focuses on providing a serene, culturally immersive experience, emphasizing personal space and a connection to Japanese traditions.

You're Here Because

You seek a peaceful retreat that offers relaxation and luxury while authentically engaging with Japanese culture and tradition in a less-traveled part of Japan.

The Moment

Sitting in the serene garden as dusk falls, the sounds of the Seto Inland Sea gently lapping nearby.
