THE STORY

A study in perfect balance. Perched on a cliff between the whirlpools of Naruto and the expansive Shikoku sky. Blending traditional Japanese hospitality and aesthetics with modern design and technology. A wellness resort that embraces the indulgence of fine wine and delicious food. Hotel Ridge is a luxurious natural escape where adults can reconnect with nature and reset their own equilibrium.

Located less than an hour from the city of Tokushima on rugged Shimada Island, Hotel Ridge is an exclusive resort with just 10 expansive suites. Each provides spectacular views of the famed Naruto Ohashi Bridge, the craggy islands of the Seto Inland Sea, and the untamed nature of the Setonaikai National Park, while the staggered layout ensures guests can repose in complete privacy. Modern Japanese-style rooms add a taste of local culture, while Western-style rooms offer higher beds and sofas for more comfort. Two onsite dining options turn the rich bounty of Tokushima's soil and sea into flawlessly presented Japanese and French dining experiences, and a natural hot spring and comfortably appointed spa provide ample opportunity for relaxation.

Hotel Ridge is a luxury retreat that revels in beauty of the changing seasons and the quiet of nature without foregoing the visceral enjoyment of fine dining and luxury accommodation. Come experience the uncomplicated pleasure of this exquisite wellness resort.

  • Hot Spring - Onsen Experience Japan's rich bathing culture at Hotel Ridge's gender segregated natural hot spring baths. The waters rise from 1500 meters below the earth, rich in iron and other minerals said to be particularly effective in relieving muscle aches and exhaustion. After showering with luxurious bath amenities containing crushed Akoya pearls from Mikimoto, slide into the indoor or outdoor bath to soak away stress and beautify your skin. By day, the rustling of the trees and gentle birdsong provide a soothing soundtrack for this relaxing ritual. By night, an awning of stars undimmed by city lights glitters above your head to send you off to sleep in perfect contentment.
  • Banriso An enclave of classic Nippon elegance, serving up flawless kaiseki, traditional multi-course Japanese dining, exclusively for staying guests. The facilities exude the spare dignity of an imperial residence, with undulating naguri-style wood floors and private tatami dining rooms surrounding a central courtyard garden, where a bamboo fountain murmurs in happy accompaniment to your meal. The cuisine turns fresh local produce into a seasonal dining experience that plays with texture, aroma and sound to surprise and delight even the most experienced washoku aficionado. Breakfast is served in a sunny dining room reconstructed from a historic Hakone residence, relocated here to preserve the architecture and provide a homey traditional atmosphere.
  • California Table Floor-to-ceiling windows and a breezy open-air veranda provide unobstructed views on Naruto Ohashi Bridge and the Seto Inland Sea. It's the perfect backdrop for enjoying the unpretentious French fusion fare and rollicking selection of wines from across the globe, including many from award-winning partner winery Ridge Vineyards in Cupertino, California. Fresh, seasonal ingredients are drawn from the rich agriculture of Tokushima and Naruto, with a particular emphasis on Pacific seafood, for a unique menu every day. Open to outside guests, California Table serves lunch, dinner and afternoon tea in a casual bistro atmosphere that's perfect for a romantic date, a family party or just a quiet solo cocktail with a book.
  • Cuisine Pleasantly tart sudachi citrus, silky hand-stretched Handa somen noodles, achingly sweet carrots from Kaiyocho, freshly caught and fearsome looking bladefish: a meal at Hotel Ridge is a veritable tour of local specialties both famous and relatively unknown. The fertile plains around the Yoshino River are the breadbasket of the Kansai region, while fresh and salt water fisheries provide a bounty of seafood. We source this high quality produce from a network of trusted farmers to ensure the peak of flavor for our farm-to-table cuisine. We are proud to support our hard-working neighbors by showcasing the bounty of Tokushima and the wider Shikoku region to the world.
  • RIDGE Bar The RIDGE Bar is where you can enjoy the special beverages in a setting of a spectacular view of a sunset in the Seto Inland Sea and the Naruto Bridge. You can expect to see just like a picture clipped from the beautiful scenic of Tokushima as it truly is. Exclusive Tokushima craft beer and special cocktails are served with Hotel Ridge hospitality, which will make your stay more memorable. Enjoy the blissful moments at the RIDGE Bar.
  • Heliport A new heliport facility was added to the property in February 2023, so the guest can fly into the ryokan directly from anywhere in Japan anytime. The helicopter is operated by Ogawa Air, which has about 80 places across Japan to clearance permission to land. It is a 30-minute distance from Osaka and only a 20-minute distance from Kobe Port.
