Suminoe Ryokan

The historical Japanese-style hotel in Shimanami-kaidou.

Shimanami-kaidou, Setoda(Ikuchi island) is the place which was thriving in ship traffic and the town keeps the air of that time. Suminoe Ryokan is located by the pier. It was formerly a villa of wealthy merchant. The wooden building built over 100 years ago is reminiscent of the past and it\'s surrounded by a commanding and soft atmosphere.

Regarding dishes, the female manager of this hotel says that she places importance on foodstuff, seasoning and set out. They use fresh Setouchi fish sold directly by local fisherman or fish merchants. The recipe and seasoning of the dish served in an elegant plate matches the calm climate of Setouchi. The carefully-prepared dish attracts gourmets so much that they now open a sister shop in Ginza, Tokyo.

You can overlook sunset from the oceanfront view room. Time goes by slowly when you are having a view of "Nagi" (the calm state of the sea without wind and waves) in Setouchi.
