Azumi Setoda
The Kyoto-based architect Shiro Miura handled the restoration with an eye to creating calm, light-filled guest rooms as well as appealing shared spaces. The result is a boutique ryokan with many perfectly executed elements — minimalist interiors, exposed beams, clean lines, low-rise furniture, pale wood and washi paper, huge glass panes revealing views of a peaceful courtyard garden — and a few exclusive features, like an open-plan restaurant where local and seasonal ingredients are prepared with French techniques. The atmosphere is low-key but socially oriented; unless otherwise requested, meals are served communally, and the traditional bathhouse across the street hosts both locals and hotel guests.
For private soaking, each room comes with a cypress tub. All are sleek and sanctuary-like, with granite floors, bespoke blonde-wood furnishings, and sliding screens opening to private stone-lined gardens. Some have balconies, and a few feature two floors with tatami rooms and private patios with daybeds. Azumi Setoda emphasizes community, and there’s an island to explore just outside, but the rooms alone are reason enough to choose this hotel for a peaceful retreat.

Estilo japonés elegante y acogedor. Un diseño de interiores y detalles espectaculares. Muy recomendable sin duda
The design of the hotel is gorgeous. Beautiful contemporary minimalist restoration of classic Japanese architecture. Dinner in restaurant a real gastronomic experience. Staff super kind. The town is quiet and cute. The ferry ride to get there fun, scenic and convenient ly close to the hotel.
Simple, traditional, functional, quiet. Feels like you are visiting a very special place before the world finds out about it.
