Beautiful Hotels with Stunning Sea Views
In Tsushima City, which is divided between two main islands – the southern Izuhara, the central area, and the northern Kamitsushima, the gateway to Korea – accommodations are scattered throughout. Besides hotels, there are various guesthouses located in the mountainous areas of the island.
Since transportation on Tsushima is limited, renting a car is highly recommended for sightseeing. Thanks to the ria coastline with its complex terrain, hotels located along the coast offer beautiful scenic views.
Toyoko Inn Tsushima Izuhara

Located in Izuhara-cho, the center of Tsushima City, this is a standard business hotel from the nationwide chain Toyoko Inn. It is a tall building that stands out in the city, so you can easily find your way when you go out shopping or dining.
Parking is available, making it convenient for sightseeing by rental car. With Wi-Fi and wired LAN available, it’s also recommended for business travelers who need an internet connection.
A free breakfast is another bonus. Payment methods including credit cards and e-money are accepted.
Shukubo Tsushima Saizan-ji

A traditional temple lodging (shukubo) operated by the Rinzai Nanzan-ji sect’s Saizan-ji, it is especially popular among foreign tourists for experiencing Japanese culture. The moss-covered stone walls at the entrance and the longya-mon gate add an exotic atmosphere.
Although it is a temple lodging, the rooms and interior are very modern, with Western-style rooms featuring beds and hardwood floors where you can relax without any fuss.
Enjoy a recommended breakfast served in a dining area with a wood-burning stove while overlooking a beautiful Japanese garden! If you stay at a temple lodging, be sure to join the zazen (sitting meditation) service at 5:30 AM.
Oroshika no Yado

“Oroshika” refers to “Oroshikawan,” a bay located just in front of the inn. This guesthouse is run by a former fisherman couple and serves luxurious meals featuring Tsushima’s seafood in generous portions. The hospitable couple’s conversation will undoubtedly complement the food and drinks.
Since the owner owns a boat, you might even join him on a fishing trip. You can also try shore fishing from the nearby cliff. The fish you catch will be served on the same day—an authentic taste of life on an island surrounded by the sea.
Toyoko Inn Tsushima Hidan Katsu

This is a Toyoko Inn located in the Hidan Katsu Port area, where ferries bound for Busan depart. With parking for 77 cars, it is recommended for those arriving by car.
Although Toyoko Inn is typically seen as a business hotel, its location here is outstanding! From the windows, you can view the inlet of Sanyu-da Coast, where the emerald green sea welcomes you.
It also offers a free breakfast, and there is a day-use bath facility “Kamitsushima Onsen Nagisa no Yu” very close by. Despite being a business chain, it is filled with tourist appeal.
Yamazato no Yado Inakaya Saito

This guesthouse, marketed as a “farmhouse stay,” allows you to fully enjoy Tsushima’s rural gourmet delights. It is the only accommodation in Tsushima with a license to produce doburoku (unrefined rice wine), and the slightly sweet sake brewed from their own rice is highly praised! The sorbet made from this doburoku is also popular among women.
The owner-prepared game meat dishes featuring deer and wild boar are the pride of the guesthouse—Tsushima’s wild boar, raised on wild acorns, is free of gamey odors and tender with rich flavor. You can also experience making Tsushima soba and danzuke mochi—rare experiences you won’t find elsewhere.
Tōri no Sato Minpaku Tachibana Orchard

This is a guesthouse in the Tsutsu area at the southwest tip of Tsushima’s main island. As the name suggests, the owner specializes in fruit cultivation, growing various fruits such as plums in early summer and peaches in autumn. At the guesthouse, you can experience seasonal fruit picking, as well as activities like jam making and stag beetle collecting.
Right in front of the Tsutsu Port, you can enjoy freshly caught fish, and the wife, who is passionate about cooking, prepares lavish dinners including sashimi, simmered dishes, and sometimes even boat platters. This guesthouse lets you fully appreciate both the bounty of the sea and the mountains—a true farm stay experience.
Experience Minpaku Moriyama

This guesthouse offers a variety of wonderful experiences. Notably, the proprietress—who holds a teaching certificate—is very kind and instructs you in traditional tea ceremony, an experience unique to this place.
The guesthouse is also recommended for cycling; exploring the island’s natural beauty by bicycle with the sea breeze is extremely refreshing! In summer, you can also enjoy water activities at the shallow, calm Motegi Beach.
At night, savor Tsushima’s seafood delicacies. Dishes such as a marinated dish made with the slimy threads of Hiougi shellfish and simmered hijiki, a Tsushima specialty, are among the hearty, home-style meals that make this guesthouse shine.
Minpaku Yuzuriha

“Minpaku Yuzuriha” is notable for its irori (open hearth) that is present on the property! The seafood robatayaki (grilled over an open hearth) cooked over charcoal is exquisite. Despite being a guesthouse, it is a spacious two-story building with no cramped feeling whatsoever.
One of its highlights is the opportunity to experience cultivating shiitake mushrooms on a log. Grilling these thick shiitake mushrooms over the irori results in a delicious treat! The owner can also arrange for a fishing experience using a fishing boat from among his contacts.
Hiroko’s House

As the name suggests, Hiroko’s House is a farm stay where a warm mother greets you. Hiroko’s House is loved by everyone in the local community; even neighbors who aren’t guests often drop by to share a meal.
They serve local cuisine such as “iriyaki,” a dish prepared with locally raised chickens and seasonal fish that are simmered with a sweet-and-savory sauce and vegetables. The taste was once described by a French visitor who came to study rural tourism in Japan as “perfect…”
Moreover, you can also participate in charcoal grilling and vegetable harvesting experiences. Imagine the excitement of watching your own harvested vegetables transformed into a delicious local dish!
Minpaku Nagomi

“Minpaku Nagomi” is a typical local house located in central Izuhara. The proprietress, who used to run one of Tsushima’s most famous restaurants, serves healthy and delicious meals. Her cooking is not only tasty but also extremely wholesome—she is devoted to using ingredients and broths that are as healthy as possible.
Her signature dish is a simple deep-fried and simmered seasonal vegetable dish. As her philosophy goes, “When people eat good food, they become happy,” and you’ll feel both physically and mentally at ease with her carefully prepared dishes.
The International Ferry Terminal is Right Nearby
Tsushima is designated as part of the Iki-Tsushima National Park, home to many natural monuments such as the Tsushima wildcat. Since the island is mostly surrounded by mountains, activities like sea kayaking and trekking are popular, attracting tourists not only from within Japan but also from neighboring Korea. The airport and international ferry terminal offer excellent access, and there are supermarkets and dining establishments nearby for convenience. Many rooms offer views of the coastline, making it an ideal place to relax and escape daily life.
