Umekiya

A Relaxing Stay to Enjoy Awaji Island

Umekiya is a cozy inn located along the western coast of Awaji Island. It features only five guest rooms, providing an intimate atmosphere. Originally a dining inn called "Umekiya Ryokan" that has been around since the Meiji era, it was a familiar place for locals, often used for weddings and gatherings, but unfortunately had to close its doors. In December 2019, we reopened as "Umekiya," preserving the charm of the old ryokan while undergoing renovations. We strive to create a space that reflects the ambiance of the times while accommodating modern travel styles. While we may cause some inconvenience, we hope you can take your time enjoying not just Umekiya but the whole town of Tsushi as well. 【Important Notice for Guests】 ■ About Rooms and Bathrooms ・The guest rooms do not have shower, toilet, or washbasin; these are shared facilities. ・The guest rooms are located on the second floor, while the toilet and shower are on the first floor. ・There is no bathtub available; showers can be reserved for exclusive use for one hour at a time. ・There is a hot spring facility just a 5-minute drive away, and we provide discount tickets. ■ About Meals ・Dinner is not included.
