Azumi Setoda

We stayed at this accommodation for our honeymoon, just the two of us.It was a truly memorable and wonderful accommodation.First, the meals. Every dish amazed us. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding, and the use of broth and spices showcased the chef's skill and creativity in an exceptional way. The sommelier also provided detailed explanations, allowing us to enjoy wine by the glass. Additionally, the dining space was fantastic—though located near a corridor, it felt spacious and warm without any sense of disturbance. The tableware was beautiful; some pieces were from a nearby island's pottery studio, which we loved so much that we purchased them.The room had a two-story design that seemed thoughtfully created to ensure comfort in every space. We enjoyed it thoroughly until just before check-out time. One minor point was that there wasn’t a door on the shower booth; however, both the bathtub and booth were spacious enough that it wasn’t an issue.The warmth of the staff was also remarkable. They showed great care for my pregnant wife with maximum consideration. During meals, every staff member we spoke with knew about each dish in detail—it felt like they worked with genuine love for what they do.From meals to ambiance to hospitality, this stay left an unforgettable impression among all accommodations we've experienced so far. We would love to visit Setoda again just to return here!

The accommodation's building, design, built-in furniture in the rooms, hinoki bath, service, and location are something to be proud of in Japan. Perhaps because of this reputation, there are almost no Japanese guests; it feels like a foreign country as it is mostly occupied by Westerners. This speaks volumes about its high evaluation. However, since we intentionally did not make a reservation for meals at the accommodation to explore dining options in town, we almost became "dinner refugees." It would be great if you could offer a simple set meal service for dinner similar to the breakfast tray provided to guests. Additionally, we rented bicycles and made a round trip to Omi Island's shrine. This was also fantastic! However, seeing many rental bikes from foreign brands like GIANT and TERN made us envious. Considering your guest demographic, offering premium bicycle rentals would make this accommodation even more attractive. With high expectations for further improvements, I rate it 4 stars!
