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.
