Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, head to Tsushima Island at the western end of Ehime Prefecture. As the boat navigates through the calm waves of the Seto Inland Sea and docks at the port, the staff of Kamekawa Ryokan will welcome you. Hop on a light truck, relax and enjoy the rural landscapes, and in about 10 minutes, you'll arrive at your destination.
Kamekawa Ryokan retains a traditional Japanese atmosphere, yet the facilities have been renovated, and the bathing area has been beautifully refurbished. When dinner is prepared, the first thing that surprises you is the freshness of the ingredients. The sea bream just landed by the fishermen of Tsushima Island is rich in flavor, and the sea urchin is intensely sweet, spreading happiness on your tongue.
The cuisine at Kamekawa Ryokan is characterized by a simple seasoning that maximizes the flavor of the ingredients. However, this is a luxurious taste created by the entire island. From seafood caught by fishermen, to fresh vegetables grown by farmers, and agar processed on the island, everything is a gift from the island just a stone's throw away. The love for the ingredients is conveyed through this island-wide supreme taste.
It is recommended to take a leisurely stroll with a bicycle borrowed from the staff when the sun sets. Enjoying the rural scenery while feeling the sea breeze is also special. In the evening, it is also delightful to sip sake on the spacious veranda overlooking the garden, and the next morning, it is enjoyable to wake up early and take a stroll to observe the fishermen preparing the feast. A tranquil island time, completely different from the city, is sure to heal your heart.
