"THE ZK WEST COAST," newly opened on the west coast of Awaji Island, is a special resort where you can enjoy exclusive views of the vast ocean and golden sunsets. The VILLA building offers all ocean-view rooms with private gardens, providing a luxurious retreat. The HOTEL building is conveniently located as a base for sightseeing, ensuring a comfortable stay. Experience an extraordinary time immersed in nature at this unique destination.

This is a private, one-group-only Accommodation renovated from a former beach hut left on a closed swimming beach on Awaji Island. Set on a wide stretch of sand in a quiet fishing town, there are no other buildings around. A place to step away from the bustle and spend time embraced by the vast sea and sky. While preserving the Showa-era exterior of the beach hut, we kept the interior understated, choosing natural materials and furnishings designed to be loved and used for years to come: a large wood-burning stove; a spacious bathroom and wood-fired sauna; dinner finished in your Room by our chef using local seasonal bounty; and the ever-changing sea and sky right before your eyes. Rather than chasing what is new or flashy, we hope you will connect with what has long been here. Like another home, we aspire to be an island retreat you will return to again and again.

Located at Ako Misaki in Setonaikai National Park, this Accommodation boasts an exceptional setting and takes pride in serving seasonal ingredients prepared in a variety of styles. Enjoy the beautiful Seto Inland Sea throughout the seasons from your guest room, the open-air bath, and the restaurant. To the east you can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge; straight ahead, the Ieshima Islands; beyond them, Awaji Island; and to the west, Shodoshima Island. The large public bath’s open-air bath also offers sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea and a spacious tub for a wonderfully open, relaxing soak. A highlight is the rare low-temperature salt sauna—rub Ako salt onto your skin to promote perspiration—which is especially popular. For dining, enjoy creative kaiseki cuisine centered on seasonal seafood. Oyster dishes are particularly popular in winter.
