Amazing stay in a beautiful hotel designed by Tadao Ando. Service, pool and breakfast were amazing. The room was really great but a tiny bit disappointed by the bathroom which was a bit weird and not so beautiful especially compared to the rest. Lunch was also so-so. We didn’t have dinner there but regretted the lack of simple options (only a very expensive one).

Reviewing the past and learning the new, SETOUCHI RETREAT by Onko Chishin is one of the favorite hotels in Setouchi. This hotel designed by Tadao Ando is located on a hilltop about half an hour's drive from Matsuyama City. There is a golf course nearby and is an excellent location to watch the sunrise and sunset over the Seto Inland Sea.Tadao Ando took MINIMAL LUXURY as the basic design concept, discarded the cumbersome burdens, and used basic elements from nature to magically integrate nature and historical culture with the building itself. There are a total of 7 rooms, each with an area of ​​more than 100m. The space is extremely spacious, but the minimalist style guest rooms do not seem empty or alienated at all. Simple wood-colored furniture, earth-colored fabrics and fresh artwork are enough to make the space warm and welcoming. The huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows also highlight the most beautiful artworks. The panoramic view of the beautiful scenery outside the window will be an ultimate enjoyment.If you have the chance to go to the Seto Inland Sea, remember to stay here for a night or two. Personally, it is recommended to reserve a rental car in advance before going to Songshan. It will be much more convenient if you have a car. In addition, the hotel is also very close to various attractions. Nearby are Matsuyama Castle, Dogo Onsen, and the Tokyo Love Story filming location (A must-visit for Higashi fans is Umezuji Station) and Matsuyama Isaruha Shrine. These important attractions are only half an hour away by car. The entire city of Matsuyama is full of orange atmosphere. It is really a very special city. Especially for the hotel we booked this time, everyone should come and experience the exquisite design from Tadao Ando, ​​a master, and let your body and mind sleep in the most beautiful art gallery.

It's located on the grounds of a golf course, really far from the city.The post mentioned that it takes about 10 minutes to get to the convenience store, but it's actually about 10km away, so it's better to buy it in advance. There's nothing at the hotel.The room, facilities, etc. were originally an art museum, so they weren't very convenient, and the windows were electrically operated and slow and difficult to use.The baths also have quite a lot of chlorine, so this is a hotel where you can enjoy the building rather than the hot springs.The amount of food is small, but there is a lot of explanation.No refills of rice.This is my first time staying at a hotel like this.Late night rice balls are also available for an additional charge.Breakfast was also really average.
