Sado Resort Hotel Azuma
8,3/10 Excellent - Based on 84 reviews
Embraced by the raw and wild beauty of the western coast of Sado Island, this ryokan in Sado evokes a poetic dialogue between nature and serenity. The open-air onsen baths, cradled by the murmur of the waves and the clouds dancing above the garden, offer a soothing refuge for the soul, while the private thermal baths, overlooking magically charged landscapes, turn every moment into a sensory escape. Here, every corner invites a true inner rebirth, enhanced by the gentle local traditional live music that vibrates through the atmosphere.
Playful and delicately authentic, the architecture of the rooms resonates with Japanese heritage, blending tatami floors and graceful futon beds. The large bay windows unfold captivating panoramas, where the sky embraces the ocean in an infinite palette of blues and golds at sunset. Whether you opt for a spacious family room or an intimate oasis for two, each space invites you to express fullness and contemplation, comfortably cradled by the breath of the waves.
Gourmands or dreamers, you will be charmed by the authentic flavors of the Nagisa restaurant, where Japanese culinary treasures are revealed with poetry. Not far away, neighboring establishments like “すしやまるいし” extend these gourmet escapes with refinement, sublimating the seafood products that whisper their story with every bite. Immersed in this dreamlike setting, each meal becomes a journey to the very heart of the island’s soul.
