Azumi Setoda is the reinspired family estate of the Horiuchi family, a prominent lineage of affluent merchants who had thrived in the salt production and shipping sectors in Setoda. Embracing the legacy of the 140-year-old structure, the residence retains its precious architectural essence, while the guest rooms have been thoughtfully fashioned into contemporary and soothing spaces. The dining experience is centered around Italian cuisine crafted from the finest Setouchi ingredients, presented on tableware that has been passed down through generations of the Horiuchi family.
Niwa
Niwa rooms have a small garden. Yukimi shoji screens, which are designed to open vertically in order to watch snow as it accumulates on the ground, enable the garden view to be enjoyed from every point in the room. A sofa at the foot of the bed functions as a place to recline, substituting the engawa of traditional ryokans. The granite floors feel cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
