NOT A HOTEL SETOUCHI

Mihara, Japan·3.7 (9)

Photography by Kenta Hasegawa, NOT A HOTEL, Kenta Hasegawa / NOT A HOTEL

Nestled on Mihara's tranquil shores, this architectural gem transforms a historic 100-year-old farmhouse into eight bespoke residences, where raw cedar beams and earthen walls harmonize with panoramic sea views, inviting guests to savor slow luxury in Japan's island idyll. The design celebrates Setouchi's cultural rhythm through communal wood-fired baths, sun-drenched terraces, and farm-to-table feasts drawn from local bounty, evoking a profound connection to nature and heritage. Here, every stay becomes a meditative escape, blending impeccable craftsmanship with the sea's endless whisper.
