The Sekitei: Serene Luxury in Hiroshima

Stay The Sekitei features just twelve rooms. These are arranged in a number of independent buildings, all with wonderful garden and inland sea views. Each suite is individually designed and decorated, with traditional Japanese furnishings and comes with a separate living and dining areas with tatami (woven-straw) floors and Japanese futon bedding. Many rooms have a traditional cypress wood bath and rainforest shower, and come with garden or ocean views, and a fridge with minibar.

ChildCare Families with children are welcome to stay at the Sekitei but there are no specific facilities for children available at the ryokan. 

Dine Dining in the Sekitei ryokan is a unique experience. A Japanese set-menu is offered for breakfast, which guests can choose to dine in their rooms or in the dining room. Dinner is normally served in your room in the traditional fashion. The multi-course ‘Kaiseki’ meal is where each course showcases a different cooking method, unique flavours and is beautifully presented. Lunch is usually in a local restaurant where you can try an Oyster menu – the locals favourite.

Relax Guests can relax in the Sekitei’s library lounge, which features books and comfortable chairs. Alternatively spend your day exploring the town’s souvenir shops or unwind in the public onsen. Luggage storage and a safety deposit box are available at the front desk. Massage services can be requested.
