Setouchi Retreat Aonagi
Serenity
Silence spreads the moment you step in
The noise fades leaving only the real
The luxury of simply taking the time to touch
and gaze upon my truths
and my feelings for you
Just you and those I deeply cherish morning,
noon and night
in this beautiful place away
from the everyday
Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture.
An elegant building suddenly appears
from a lush mountain path.
A 7-room all suites, designed by Tadao Ando.
A small luxury hotel renovated
and reborn from an art museum,
where only a small part was open to public.
Strip away the excess and regain your true self.
Find serenity in quietude,
gazing at the ever-changing scenery.
A place rooted in this concept, where the nature,
history, and culture of Setouchi are united.
The stillness and tranquility
of the Seto Inland Sea on the other side
of the expansive windows.
If you surrender your body and mind,
to the flow of time and sprawling scenery,
feeling the sunshine and breeze,
your natural self will begin to reemerge.
Spend two days and one night
in this extraordinary space of many expressions
undisturbed, with those you love.
How to luxuriate in this one and only space,
is up to the two of you.
After making your vows,
deepen your feelings while admiring the sunset,
letting memories blossom, under the night skies.
Wake up with the sunshine pouring through the windows
and feel affection for the warmth
of the one you love next to you.
The very time savored here,
a celebration of the two of you joined in matrimony.
