Restructuring the Traditional Culture of the Ryokan from a New Perspective

Located in Setoda along the Shimanami Kaido in the Seto Inland Sea, "Azumi Setoda" is a ryokan that incorporates many modern elements while respecting the good old traditions rooted in this land. The course meals, which feature vegetables from the Setouchi area centered around Setoda as the main ingredients and are developed using French techniques, are deeply flavorful. Its location at the entrance of the local shopping street is also attractive to travelers. Activities such as cycling tours and lemon harvesting experiences provide opportunities to deeply touch the charm of the region. A modern ryokan that looks to the future together with the community teaches the charm of a new kind of travel.
