Annex-Style Retreat Serving Seasonal Setouchi Seafood
Set on a quiet hill overlooking Miyajima and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, "Garden Inn Sekitei" blends seamlessly into the gentle slope that stretches from the rocky ridge down toward the water, framed by a beautifully maintained Japanese garden. Small pavilions are scattered throughout the grounds, while twelve detached guest rooms extend from the main house. Hidden study rooms and salons tucked behind the annexes offer moments of serene retreat. The peaceful views of Miyajima and the Seto Inland Sea, the soothing hot springs, and dishes prepared with fresh seafood—including conger eel—and an abundance of mountain delicacies create a deeply moving experience. Time flows gently here, inviting a graceful and unhurried day of travel.

Guest Room

A Number of Unique and Charming Guest Rooms

A small pavilion, refined through repeated redesigns in pursuit of a one-of-a-kind private retreat, offers a gentle sense of solace. Photographs that trace the origins of Sekitei line the bedroom wall, creating a quiet realm far removed from daily life—an atmosphere that invites complete surrender to stillness.

Graceful Time with Clouds Passing Above Miyajima

From the second floor of the main house, sweeping views of Miyajima’s silhouette and the sea unfold in front of the room. As pages turn while resting on a daybed or in a rocking chair, the gentle atmosphere naturally invites the body to drift into a quiet doze.

Quiet Comfort on the Sofa Overlooking the Garden

At "Hanare Seizan," the terrace connects directly to a private garden, creating a seamless flow between the room and the outdoors. The tatami-lined engawa features a Børge Mogensen sofa, inviting unhurried moments spent gazing at the scenery. The garden reveals a different expression with each season, offering a deeply personal and tranquil space.

Spa

Rock Bath Surrounded by Lush, Vibrant Greenery

In the late afternoon, the sunlight shining through the maple leaves makes the surface of the water sparkle in the open-air bath. At dusk, the scenery changes, and the bonfires and lanterns illuminate the area, inviting you to a mysterious and mysterious atmosphere.

Savoring the Refined Warmth of Smooth Whitewood

The bathroom is completely covered in elegant white wood from the bathtub to the walls to the ceiling, creating a refreshing space. The pleasant scent of plain wood, full of nature's blessings, will soothe your mind and refresh you.

A Gentle, Spacious Private Bath for Every Guest

Set beneath a towering camphor tree at the edge of the garden, the spacious private bath creates an elegant atmosphere with its whitewood finishes and earthen walls. A dedicated post-bath salon offers refreshments, providing a thoughtful touch that enhances the sense of comfort and care.

Cuisine

Dishes Showcasing the Union of Sea and Mountain Delicacies

An uncompromising dedication to monthly seasonal menus forms one of Sekitei’s core expressions of hospitality. Each dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, creating moments of quiet joy as the beauty of the cuisine conveys a sense of heartfelt care.

Captivated by the Delicacies of the Seto Inland Sea

Among the many Seto specialties, conger eel is popular, including small sardines, sea bream, flounder, filefish, shrimp, turban shells, sea urchins, abalone, and octopus. The course begins with the appetizer "conger eel samadhi" and includes a selection of items that allow you to fully enjoy the charm of conger eel.

Anago Rice Cooked in an Iron Pot with Sekitei’s Heartfelt Touch

Sekitei’s devotion to conger eel runs so deep that no amount of time or pages would suffice to convey it fully. Over a century of pursuing the finest anago has refined the flavor of its signature rice dish, offering a depth and richness that speak to this long-honored craft.

Facility

Moments That Restore the Spirit Through Nature

Stone garden offers serene nooks throughout the garden-facing grounds, each designed for unhurried moments of rest. The scenery shifts beautifully with the time of day—from fresh, sunlit mornings to ethereal silhouettes at dusk—revealing new charms with every visit and inviting repeated strolls through the garden.

Small Gallery–Like Ambience

At dusk, bonfires are lit in the garden, and the orange light from the lanterns reflects on the shiny black, flat-tiled hallway. White porcelain from the Lee Dynasty and Shigaraki ware vessels line the corridors, creating a quiet, gallery-like atmosphere that draws visitors into a space of understated beauty.
