Overview
KAMENOI HOTEL AWAJISHIMA welcomes you with sea breezes, panoramic ocean views, and a complete renewal set for August 1, 2025. Inspired by the image of a cruise ship sailing the Awaji Sea, the hotel is being transformed into a unique destination where land and sea come together to offer you comfort, flavor, and relaxation.
Located just a short drive from local attractions like Nijigen no Mori, Happy Pancake Awajishima Terrace, and Sennenichi Sake Brewery, the hotel also makes a great base for sightseeing around Awaji Island. When you return, the ocean greets you from your room and the soothing waters of the hot springs help you relax into island time.
Accommodation
You can choose from a wide range of rooms, all designed with the sea in mind. Every room faces the Seto Inland Sea, so you can fall asleep to ocean sounds and wake up to sunrise over the water.
Stay in a Premium Room with a private natural hot spring open-air bath and terrace. This space is ideal for families, groups, or anyone looking for an extraordinary break. Children can enjoy the grassy plaza while adults unwind in the bath any time of day.
If you prefer a more traditional touch, book a Japanese-Western room with tatami flooring and beds. Couples often choose this room type for its calm atmosphere and scenic views. Western-style Superior and Standard Twins, Deluxe Rooms, and Comfort Twins offer additional options for families, friends, and solo travelers.
All rooms include modern essentials like Wi-Fi, a bath or shower booth, beds by Simmons for a restful sleep, and thoughtful amenities such as yukata, slippers, toiletries, and more. Universal design rooms are also available, making sure everyone enjoys a smooth, comfortable stay.
Dining
The hotel’s new restaurant opens in August 2025 with a fresh design inspired by Awaji’s famous onions. Under soft, warm lighting, you’ll enjoy meals that celebrate Awaji’s seasonal ingredients, presented in a setting that engages all five senses.
Dinner features creative kaiseki cuisine crafted by the head chef, Sadao Sakamoto—a recognized master craftsman in Japanese cuisine. His dishes highlight the region’s bounty, including sea bream, octopus, and local vegetables. You’ll also enjoy signature clay pot rice topped with octopus and salmon roe, a seasonal specialty during summer months.
If you’re traveling with children, they can enjoy special meals that include Wagyu hamburg steak, fried chicken, and shrimp. All meals are made with the same care and attention as the adult menu.
Start your day with a generous breakfast buffet. Whether you prefer Japanese dishes like hotpots and salads made from Awaji onions or a lighter Western-style breakfast, you’ll find something to satisfy your appetite. In the evening, if you’re still a little hungry, the hotel offers complimentary late-night dandan noodles in three flavors—red, black, and white—served with a drink.
Onsen and Wellness
Enjoy the wide-open feeling of the hotel’s newly redesigned hot springs. Soak in the open-air baths with views over Harima Nada, where the sea and sky stretch endlessly in front of you. New men’s and women’s bath areas each follow a unique theme, offering you a fresh experience with every visit.
Relax under the gazebo and watch the seasons change from the comfort of the natural spring waters. On clear days, your view extends all the way to Shodoshima and the Ieshima Islands.
The Ogurayama Hot Spring flows naturally into the baths, giving you both beauty and healing in one place. The large public baths are open morning and night, letting you bathe whenever it fits your rhythm.
If you have tattoos, use of private bathing facilities may be the best option. Please check with the hotel staff at check-in for available options.
