A luxurious stay at SETOUCHI RETREAT by Onko Chishin
A 40-minute drive from Matsuyama Airport will take you to Seto Inland Sea Retreat Aonagi by Onkochishin, surrounded by mountains and engulfed in tranquility. This is a lodging facility designed by architect Tadao Ando, and offers a modern and sophisticated space.
The first thing you'll see is the magnificent view of Seto Inland Sea. The natural light pouring in through the large windows gently illuminates the room, giving it a sense of openness. The moment you step into the room, you'll forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and start enjoying a relaxing time just for yourself.
In the infinity pool, you can feel as if you are one with the ocean. At dusk, relax by the pool while watching the sky and ocean turn orange. A luxurious moment spent in a private space will soothe your travel fatigue.
Relax your body and mind with a superb SPA experience
The SPA experience is also one of the attractions. You can refresh your mind and body in a luxurious space overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The time spent relaxing with pleasant aromas is truly a blissful moment. The seasonal spa menu recommended from summer to autumn is the body and detox foot pack course, which includes a body treatment with highly moisturizing oil and a mineral-rich pack to relieve swelling and fatigue in the feet.
[Autumn Recommended Course] Body & Detox Foot Pack 75 minutes 19,800 yen (tax included)
Gourmet dinner
Dinner, made with an abundance of local ingredients, is also something to look forward to. The dishes carefully prepared by the head chef are visually beautiful and truly gourmet. In particular, the dishes made with fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea are exquisite. The menu changes with the seasons, so you can always discover something new no matter how many times you visit.
After your meal, head to the POOL SIDE BEER HOUR, which is held for a limited time at the infinity pool. You can enjoy the original craft beer "AONAGI SOUR ALE", made in collaboration with a local brewery in Matsuyama City.

The next day we went to Dogo Onsen
After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we head to Dogo Onsen, the oldest hot spring resort in Japan. Located in Matsuyama City, about 30 minutes by car, Dogo Onsen is a quaint building that evokes history. Since 2019, preservation and repair work has been carried out to strengthen the building's earthquake resistance, but the entire facility will reopen for business on July 11, 2024.
Stroll through Dogo Onsen town
The shopping street that connects Dogo Onsen Station and Dogo Onsen Main Building, affectionately known as "Haikara Street," is lined with old-fashioned buildings and shops selling local souvenirs, specialties, and restaurants.
Take a short walk to Matsuyama Castle
From Matsuyama Castle's main tower, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the city. On the way up to the top of the mountain by ropeway, you can enjoy the scenery surrounded by nature.
