Unveiled in February 2026: Popular Ocean Executive Rooms with Semi-Open-Air Baths "YOI & SHIRO" | A Special Getaway Gazing Over the Seto Inland Sea

Hello from the staff at Hotel Ofutei.

Savoring the luxury of doing nothing while gazing out over the Seto Inland Sea.
Calm waters filling the expansive windows, islands glistening in the morning sun, and gentle waves echoing in the distance.
We wanted to offer a space where you could experience these scenes with even greater comfort and ease.

Designed with this vision in mind, our "Ocean Executive Rooms with Semi-Open-Air Baths: YOI & SHIRO" have been warmly embraced and highly praised by many guests.

Today, we are delighted to introduce the distinct charms of our new YOI and SHIRO guest rooms.

Two Special Rooms Designed Around the Ocean View

"YOI" and "SHIRO."

Both are Ocean Executive Rooms with semi-open-air baths, offering spacious 57 m² layouts that seamlessly blend traditional Japanese warmth with refined modern design.

Featuring Japanese-modern interiors with cozy tatami textures, each room includes twin beds and a comfortable living area designed for total relaxation.

The single greatest highlight is the sweeping view of the Seto Inland Sea expanding across the windows.

The moment you open the door, serene waters greet your eyes. Sitting on the sofa by the window, you can watch passing ships and shifting skies as time slowly drifts by.

Additionally, these rooms feature universal design elements to ensure a comfortable stay for all guests. Layouts minimize steps and thresholds wherever possible, providing peace of mind for wheelchair users, seniors, and families traveling with young children.

Because travel with loved ones is precious, we aimed to create a welcoming space where everyone feels effortlessly at home.

Moments That Feel Like Having the Seto Inland Sea All to Yourself

Gazing out from your room, the Seto Inland Sea presents shifting moods throughout the day.

From the first gentle rays of morning sun lighting up the sea to glistening waters and peaceful passing vessels--clear days, hazy mornings, or moments just after rain each offer a unique, breathtaking seascape.

Guests who have stayed with us often share lovely feedback, such as: "We spent such peaceful time admiring the view," or "Before we knew it, we had been gazing out the window for hours."

While exploring local sights is a highlight of any trip, these rooms evoke a feeling of wanting to check in early just to relax inside.

Another Luxury: Soaking in a Private Semi-Open-Air Bath

Both YOI and SHIRO feature private semi-open-air baths overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.

Soaking whenever you wish while feeling gentle sea breezes is pure bliss. Whether taking a morning bath as sunlight dances on the water or watching evening colors shift into night, it is an exclusive luxury crafted for these rooms.

The bath is equipped with an automatic fill button for easy one-touch operation. Filling completes in about 12 minutes, making it effortless to enjoy a bath right after arrival or just before bed.

Enjoy unhurried, private moments with your companions away from outside eyes.

*Please note that water in the guest room semi-open-air bath is not natural hot spring water.

The Lounge: Enhancing Your Special Stay

Guests staying in YOI or SHIRO enjoy complimentary access to the Premium Lounge located in the 1st-floor lobby.

From unwinding after check-in to relaxing before dinner or closing out your evening, the lounge adapts effortlessly to your personal pace.

The lounge offers draft beer, wine, whisky, coffee, tea, soft drinks, and sweets. Offerings change depending on the time of day, ensuring a fresh experience each time you visit.

Sip a favorite drink while gazing at the Seto Inland Sea, or reminisce about your journey with a spouse or friend.

Experiencing gentle time flow throughout the hotel--not just inside your room--is a distinct privilege of staying in YOI or SHIRO.

For Journeys with People Who Matter Most
