forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.8 out of 5 (21 reviews). Guests report that the staff accommodated their needs as families with children as they came up, arranging early check-in and moving their car. They praise the hinoki cypress bath in the room, along with being able to use the public bathhouse across the street, sauna included, as freely as they liked. On the other hand, some report that dinner is a course served one dish at a time, so it takes a while, and that children, who receive fewer dishes than adults, may not feel full, leading them to ask for extra dishes early.

Overview
Azumi Setoda is a ryokan in Setoda on Ikuchijima, at the midpoint of the Shimanami Kaido, that opened in March 2021 in the roughly 140-year-old Horiuchi Residence, once the home of a wealthy merchant family. The house, which prospered in the shipping-agent and salt-field trades, was restored using natural materials such as cedar, hinoki cypress and Fukumitsu stone, with touches of sukiya-style architecture. All four room types are generously sized at 50 to 70 sq m. Each room has its own hinoki cypress bath, so families with babies or young children who find a communal bath difficult can take their time bathing privately in the room. The maisonette rooms pair twin beds with a Japanese-style tatami room, where co-sleeping on the tatami is easy to arrange. Across the street is the public bathhouse yubune, which guests can use as often as they like during their stay, sauna included. Dinner is a course built around what is in season in the sea and hills of the Setouchi region, served on tableware handed down from the Horiuchi family. With lemon orchard classes, rental bicycles and other experiences that capture the Shimanami spirit, it is a place where the whole family can enjoy Setoda.
