"Originally designed by Tadao Ando as a private museum and converted into a hotel, this property is prized for its extraordinary modern architecture in a castle town that claims Japan's oldest onsen." - Catherine Heald
"SETOUCHI RETREAT in Japan is an architectural achievement by Tadao Ando, recognized with a MICHELIN Key." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A hotel resembling an art museum, featuring two minimalist buildings and a long infinity pool overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. One room has its own onsen, another has a wood balcony and garden, all filled with works from renowned minimalist artists." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Tadao Ando’s masterful eye informs every inch of Setouchi — patient, quintessentially Japanese cleanliness and profoundly empty stretches of space induce a reverent consideration of the materials at hand. It’s never overbearing, but it does inspire a welcome silence; gazing at the abstract rock garden or through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll most definitely feel the frenetic activity of the mind slow to match your surroundings." - Mark Fedeli
