A New Axis of Setouchi Cruising that Surpasses All Experience Levels

A rarity that fulfills the experience of a high-quality inn and the real thrill of a dramatic cruise. guntû, a small floating inn on the Seto Inland Sea, is truly a supreme existence that can be boasted to the world. Its stage is the Seto Inland Sea, also praised as the Mediterranean of Japan. It is unique to guntû that you can seamlessly enjoy emotional landscapes, historical spots, and art exploration such as the Onomichi Waterway, Tomonoura, and Naoshima. On board, enjoy a blissful time viewing the sunrise or sunset from a cypress bathtub and tasting gastronomy made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients. The moments feeling the seasonal sparkle of the water surface and the transition of nature are truly once-in-a-lifetime encounters. Dividing the Seto Inland Sea into three areas: West, East, and Central, the 2- to 3-night drifting journey provides a calm and luxurious time to simply enjoy the passing time.
