Tsutsui  

On Japan’s Setoda waterfront, opposite Setoda Port, this century-old ryokan/guest house sits a minute from Setonaikai National Park. It’s an easy stroll to Hirayama Ikuo Museum (about 8 minutes) and Kōsan-ji Temple (about 10 minutes). Established in 1910, the property has 14 Japanese-style rooms and a quietly romantic vibe.

Rooms are traditional Japanese style, some with harbour views, air conditioning, refrigerators and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels. Expect simple, tidy rooms with slippers and complimentary toiletries, plus safes and irons available on request. The house special is a signature lemon bath made with locally grown lemons.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and relax in the lemon-scented bath. The ryokan offers free on-site self-parking, complimentary wireless internet, an elevator, designated smoking areas and lobby newspapers. Baggage storage and small on-site shops add extra convenience.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. The property has an elevator and basic guest services like phones and safes for work or travel needs.

Full breakfasts are available daily for a fee (served around 7:30–8:30 AM). For local flavor, nearby spots serve okonomiyaki and takoyaki, popular with both locals and visitors.
