Shodoshima has long been a port of call for ships crossing the Seto Inland Sea.
Those of us who live along these waters know the richness this island holds.
People and cultures have drifted in across the years, mingling into something uniquely this island’s own—
its traditions, the wisdom of its people, landscapes of quiet beauty.
Carrying these ordinary yet irreplaceable things forward.
From that wish, “shimahaku / shimameshi / shimayu” was born.
Some find their connection to the island through the hot spring,
others come to know the culture through food, and others experience daily life through staying.
Three doors await—however you choose to arrive.
Travelers and islanders alike
can relax and find their own pace.
People gather naturally, and something unexpected takes root.
This island has always known how to hold change lightly—and that ease suits it well.
“shimahaku / shimameshi / shimayu” is where island and people come together.
We look forward to welcoming you at Tonosho Port.
