A Mediterranean-style beachfront resort in Setonaikai National Park. From the guest rooms and restaurants, visitors can take in sweeping views of the horizon stretching from the Naruto Strait to the Pacific Ocean, the sunrise over the sea, and a moonlit path recognized as one of Japan's 100 Best Moons.
The resort grounds feature an outdoor pool open during the summer. Seasonal activities and experiences include swimming and water sports at the private beach in summer, digging for Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes in fall, and harvesting Naruto wakame seaweed from the waters in front of the hotel in early spring. Guests can also experience Tokushima and Naruto both outdoors and indoors through activities such as fishing for Naruto sea bream, cruising the Naruto Strait, indigo dyeing, and painting Otani ware pottery. Check the official website for activity dates.
The natural hot spring facilities include Hanada, an open-air bath on the 1st floor where guests can relax to the sound of the waves, and Ruri, an observation bath on the 8th floor overlooking the sea below. The men's and women's areas switch between morning and evening, allowing guests to experience all four baths.
The resort has five restaurants: Awa Local Cuisine Irodori, French Restaurant Four Seasons, Japanese Kaiseki Naruto, Charcoal-grilled Umikaze, and Terrace Cafe Ohge. Guests can savor seafood and mountain produce from Tokushima in their preferred dining style.
