อะซูมิ เซโตดะ

Great hotel. Had an amazing stay. Location was fab and staff were wonderful. Thank you!

Just the most incredible experience we've ever had in a hotel. So much more that just a hotel, it's a whole Japanese luxury experience. Every member of staff was just incredible - friendly, efficient and really made the experience from the moment we stepped off the dock on the island because they met us there. The rooms are stunning - the pictures don't do them justice. The gardens are beautiful throughout the hotel - they feel very traditionally Japanese. The bathhouse is also stunning, I would recommend trying it even if you never have before! The dinner was incredible, their chef is extremely talented. The breakfast is perfect, a very traditional Japanese breakfast or a choice of a very good western breakfast if you don't fancy it. They managed to book us everything we wanted to do, from hiring bikes to organising a SUP tour. The island itself is so relaxing, a very different pace to busy Japanese cities. And the scenery around the islands is like nothing else, completely stunning. This was the hotel we planned our honeymoon around and I am so glad we did.

My daughter and I traveled to Japan for two weeks and stayed here in the middle of a 70K Shimanami Bike trip. I wish so much we'd booked an additional night. Of the seven hotels/ryokans we stayed during our trip, this was heads above all the others. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious and the ryokan was quite peaceful. The staff was wonderful- helpful and attentive. If I'm ever lucky enough to return to Japan and visit this area again, I'll return to this lovely property.
