Setouchi Aonagi, Matsuyama, Shikoku Island, Japan
Architecture aficionados will love this intimate
seven-room retreat just outside of Matsuyama. Originally completed 17 years ago
as a private guesthouse, later becoming a small modern art museum, it’s now a minimalistic
wonderland. The gorgeous Aonagi Maisonette Suite with its spectacular Setouchi
Inland Sea views is a highlight; as are the outdoor lap pool and Japanese restaurant,
Minagi, home to casual Kaiseki dinners with an emphasis on the region’s abundant
seafood.
