Discover Ehime from scratch. A relaxing Hotel and the annex Aoyama Ryokusui, nestled in Saijo, the City of Water.
At the foot of Mt. Ishizuchi, the highest peak in Western Japan, lies Saijo City in Ehime Prefecture—known as a “city of water,” where pure natural spring water called “Uchinuki” wells up from the ground. ITOMACHI HOTEL 0 is Japan’s first zero-energy Hotel, designed to coexist with this rich natural environment. Architectural design by Kengo Kuma has been recognized for balancing environmental responsibility with a comfortable stay, earning the 2024 Good Design Award and the iF Design Award 2025. The Hotel has also been featured in the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection, attracting attention from Japan and abroad. In March 2026, the villa rooms reopened after renovation as “Bettei Aoyama Ryokusui.” These standalone rooms feature natural Onsen baths, allowing you to relax and enjoy unhurried time in complete privacy. The blessings of Saijo’s renowned water, dining experiences that highlight local ingredients, and soothing Onsen moments come together to create an ideal getaway to refresh both body and mind. Meanwhile, the main Hotel building offers a variety of room types to suit different travel styles, including cyclist-friendly rooms where bicycles can be brought inside and family rooms. It is ideal not only for business trips or sightseeing but also as a base for active stays exploring the Shimanami Kaido route and the Mt. Ishizuchi area. Enjoy a refined private retreat at “Bettei Aoyama Ryokusui,” or opt for an easygoing yet comfortable stay in the main Hotel building. Experience Ehime Saijo’s abundant nature and culture at ITOMACHI HOTEL 0.
I had been curious about this place for a long time, and finally got to stay here as I had hoped.With the Hotel building and the marche all on the same grounds, it was wonderful to be able to take a stroll even after check-in.Both the Hotel itself and the Room were very stylish and lovely.Regarding the towels provided in the Room, I would have appreciated being able to borrow one extra small towel for drying hands after using the restroom.For dinner, we enjoyed Japanese cuisine at musubi, and we also saw some international travelers who had bought ingredients and were cooking in the coworking space.Not only was every dish beautifully prepared, but I was also deeply impressed by the head chef’s character and kindness, as well as all of the staff’s thoughtful hospitality. I would love to visit again just for this meal.At breakfast, we could choose a main dish and a soup, while drinks, side dishes, bread, rice, and soups were served buffet-style—an excellent balance overall.It truly became a wonderful memory. I would love to make this my regular Accommodation whenever I travel to Ehime.
MONAMHEE 8/31/2026The Hotel has a quiet, modern atmosphere, creating a comfortable and relaxing space. The power outlets in the guest rooms are well placed and plentiful, making them very convenient for guests.
