An Enchanting World Inspired by Ghibli on Awaji Island

The finely detailed, engrossing fantasy settings of magic realism define Ghibli's lavishly imagined universes. There is no shortage of whimsical innovation—talking animals, flying castles, and woodland spirits all captivate audiences and transport them to fantastical and imaginative worlds.

Awaji Island's Auberge "French Forest" offers a window into this kind of otherworldly experience. This luxurious hotel and restaurant complex is composed of three separate chalets, each providing a unique dining experience.

La Rose blends French and Italian flavors, Grand Baobab merges French and Basque cuisines, and Prince Etoile combines French and Italian influences.

Each chalet offers a distinct taste of culinary excellence amidst a setting reminiscent of a Ghibli-like fantasy village.

The restaurant itself has a posh yet cozy atmosphere that evokes the charm of Ghibli films. Surrounded by lush greenery, the restaurant's charming structures are nested within an enchanting garden, creating a scene straight out of a fairy tale.

Adding to the sense of fantasy and wonder is a horse-drawn carriage on the grounds, enhancing the magical ambiance of the Auberge "French Forest".

Unforgettable Gourmet Experience

Originally used to describe charming inns in a countryside in French, the term "auberge" has evolved to encompass the modern concept of "destination dining", where gastronomy is the main reason for travel.

Awaji Island, renowned as one of Japan's premier culinary destinations, offers the finest local ingredients for the innovative French cuisine at Auberge "French Forest". Guests can savor this exceptional culinary experience while also enjoying an overnight stay in the rooms.

Chef Ryotaro Murakami, a certified sommelier as well, who trained at a renowned three-star French restaurant, carefully selects wines to complement the outstanding dishes at La Rose.

Along the garden path, Prince Etoile showcases the abundance of Awaji Island's ingredients, focusing on the art of sauce-making. Meanwhile, Grand Baobab has earned acclaim for its inventive fusion of French and Italian cuisine.

You can relax in the luxury of your roomy second-floor suite after a delicious dinner. To enjoy the magnificent views of the undulating island hills, open the window!

Savoring this leisurely pace of life intertwined with an exceptional island scenery, the mundane world appears incredibly distant. Tonight, step out of reality and take center stage in a charming story that is chock-full of lovely, delectable surprises around every corner.
