I am not usually one to write a review but our stay at Azumi Setoda was phenomenal. The room was beautifully decorated and the attention to detail was next level. The staff were very attentive and always welcomed us with a smile.

This was a very special place to stay- I think possibly the best hosted experience I have ever had. It is a traditional ryokan and so I expected the courteous welcome and the room to be laid out with a futon while I ate, as well as a lovely ‘ofuro’ bath. However my expectations were exceeded because the staff gave a truly warm and welcoming, homely service - I really felt as if I were a guest in someone’s home. Everything was explained in detail so that I could appreciate the flowers, the history of the town, best places to visit, the local art gallery (they even have local artwork in the hotel) and of course the ‘Kaiseki Ryori’ (formal many course meal). I was quite sad to leave. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt like a ‘respected guest’ - thank you so much!

I found this hotel as a halfway point between two cities I was visiting by pure chance. And I’m very happy I did. The room was beautiful, with its own open air bath overlooking the trees. The hotel itself is surrounded by beautiful gardens, on a hilltop overlooking a valley. The dinner was an experience in itself, and the breakfast buffet was of ectremely high quality as well. I was the only non-Japanese but staff were incredibly accommodating, patient and helpful. A highlight of my trip.

The property itself is old and in need of repair or rebuilding. The futons are small and thin, and the pillows are inadequate. However, the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Also, the evening dance, magic and comedy show performed by three octogenarian ladies and the younger staff is extremely entertaining. The hot spring is nice too.

Everything was excellent from the moment they pick you up at the ferry terminal. Traditional ryokan with modern amenities. Dinner was great and uniquely Japanese. Went to the onsen in the early morning and it was empty so I had the place to myself.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Room was spacious with a tatami area by the window. All amenities available by reception, with a large selection of yukata for use throughout the hotel and in the onsen on the 3rd floor. Free hotel parking is available.

The view from the bedroom, the free shuttle service from the port (also in the evening to go and see the Torii by night), the free pick up and drop off of luggage to go sightseeing hands-free before check in and after check out, the onsen; the confortable futon beds. the lounge downstairs, with the terrasse and the hammocks.

Beautiful Ryokan in an old traditional building with a, lovely garden, right next to the sea. I enjoyed my stay right from the start with the warm welcome at check-in (owner could speak some English - thank you). The room was like the photos promised, a cosy futon waiting for me (there was also a tasty lemon treat in the fridge). Although small, the bath was nice and I could relax after a day of cycling. Breakfast was also delicious. Next time, I'll book dinner as well.

Beautiful view of the shrine from this quiet ryokan up and away from the tourist commotion. Very helpful staff and amazing food. Appreciated the private onsen. Very clear directions and ideas from staff and help with transporting luggage. Would definitely come back!
