AZUMI SETODA

There is plenty to do beyond the walls of the hotel. Simply cross the road to Yubune Bathing, the community bathhouse owed by Azumi, and soak your muscles in one of the alluring hot baths. Just a five-minute stroll takes you to the Shiomachi shopping district, the ideal place to hunt for souvenirs. The best way to explore more of the island is by bicycle, where you can glide through lemon groves or across spectacular bridges to explore the rest of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Alternatively, pick up a kayak or paddleboard and explore the region’s glimmering waters. For a more laid-back adventure, charter a private cruise where you can try your hand at fishing or simply absorbing hypnotic sunsets. Should you find yourself inspired by Azumi’s creative menu, immerse yourself in a range of food experiences across the island, such as Wagashi sweet making, coffee roasting, winery tours and orange and lemon harvesting.
