A New Hotel in Shodoshima: edit x seven Setouchi Shodoshima

edit x seven Setouchi Shodoshima hopes that its guests experience a unique stay somewhere between freedom and comfort.

The overall style of this hotel allows guests to feel at ease rather than overly formal within a high-quality space, letting them relax during their journey’s destinations.

The same hotel brand also has a location in Gotemba, where guests can enjoy spectacular views of Mount Fuji; this time, they have chosen Shodoshima—where mountains and sea intertwine—to reinterpret a lodging experience that soothes both body and mind.

How to get there: Take the ferry from Takamatsu Port to Tonosho Port — it takes about one hour to reach tranquil yet vibrant Shodoshima. From there, you can take a taxi or drive to the hotel (about 30 minutes).

Comfortable Rooms Ideal for Solo Travelers and Groups

edit x seven Setouchi Shodoshima has 45 rooms in total, including luxurious options such as a top-floor ocean-view suite measuring over 120 square meters and a garden suite with a private pool.

There are also bunk-style rooms suitable for families or friends to share and socialize, as well as spacious rooms that blend traditional Japanese elements with modern, contemporary design.

Whether you're a traveler who wants to remain peacefully alone in your room or a group who wants to sit on the sofa and chat casually, you'll find a comfortable space.

Each room is equipped with a front‑loading washing machine and kitchen facilities.

If you enjoy cooking, you can buy fresh ingredients in town and easily prepare simple dishes you'll be happy with.

We also recommend using the BALMUDA Bermuda kettle to brew the hotel's signature blend created in collaboration with New Zealand specialty coffee brand COFFEE SUPREME — the coffee is delicate and smooth.

Exquisite and Delicious Dining

The hotel's restaurant uses the abundant ingredients of the Seto Inland Sea, for example, local Shodoshima olive oil and soy sauce, along with vegetables harvested on the island, presenting a refined Western-style menu rich in regional flavors.

Especially notable is the seafood paella that incorporates seasonal catches — the crisp, caramelized rice at the bottom and the sweet, intense flavors awaken the appetite.

Breakfast is served buffet-style; in addition to tasting somen noodles, Shodoshima’s signature soul food, loved for its delightfully springy, smooth texture, there are also light options such as hearty vegetable and egg-salad sandwiches.

If the weather is nice, you can sit in the outdoor terrace seats and start your day accompanied by the deep blue sea view.

A Spa with Sea Views and Other Leisure Facilities

The property houses Shodoshima’s first sea-view onsen spa, edén Setouchi.

The facility features a cold plunge pool, a sauna, and an infinity pool—allowing you to relax your body and mind while gazing upon the irresistibly beautiful, unreplaceable scenery before you.

Shodoshima’s famous Olive Park is about a 30-minute drive from the hotel. There you can rent the broom from “Kiki’s Delivery Service” and stroll up to the hilltop Greek windmill to take fun photos as the heroine Kiki.

The souvenir shop also sells olive soft-serve ice cream, organically grown coffee, and a variety of olive oil and soy sauce products — from skincare items to cooking seasonings.

In addition, the island is home to a famous sake brewery, Shodoshima Shuzo, which brews sake using olive yeast. The sake has a light yellow hue and offers fruity aromas with a sweet‑tangy, tropical-like flavor.

To convey the charm of sake, the shop houses a coffee bar and a bakery converted from a warehouse.

You can not only taste dishes made with nutritious sake lees, but also enjoy Japanese hot‑dog‑bun breads made from sake rice, available in plain, soy sauce, cinnamon, and matcha varieties — each bite releases a gentle brewing aroma and a pleasant chewiness.
