Azumi Setoda Offers Nourishment For The Weary Soul
Home & Decor Singapore
|May 2021
Reimagined as a modern ryokan, Azumi Setoda on the island of Ikuchijima offers nourishment for the weary soul.
Few places in the world offer what Azumi Setoda has: a quiet and unassuming yet deeply rejuvenating experience for the soul. Imagine being awakened by sunlight filtering in from the courtyard-facing window and relishing a quiet, home-cooked breakfast in the communal dining room followed by meditation in the garden room or a session in the bathhouse.
Located in a 140-year-old compound that used to belong to the influential 17thcentury salt trading Horiuchi family, the residence has been carefully restored by architect Shiro Miura – who is trained in the sukiya style of Japanese architecture – and reimagined as a modern ryokan.
