Traditional Ryokan Hotel on the Shimanami Kaido
Setoda Inn is a traditional Japanese ryokan hotel located midway along the chain of islands connecting Honshu with Shikoku in the Seto Naikai National Park. Setoda is the main tourist town on the famous Shimanami Kaido, making it a popular rest stop for cyclists wanting to break their journey over two days.
The hotel is a short ferry ride from Mihara (which is just 25 minutes from Hiroshima city by bullet train). Pick-up from Fukuyama station is also available.
Setoda is best known for Kosanji Temple and the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art, both just a short walk from the hotel. Nearby, you will find numerous restaurants, a supermarket, a large drugstore, and convenience stores. A short cycle away is the famous Setoda Sunset Beach and the ferry to Rabbit Island.
