Hotel Anaga, a resort hotel at the southwestern tip of Minami-Awaji City in Hyogo Prefecture, is inviting guests to enjoy a little more of summer as the season's heat begins to ease and cooler breezes arrive. Under the theme "Just a Little More Summer," the hotel is proposing a resort stay centered on its garden pool and poolside area.
Set at the southern tip of Awaji Island with sweeping views of the Naruto Strait, Hotel Anaga is especially inviting once summer's peak has passed, when the sun softens and time by the pool feels all the more comfortable. Rather than simply sightseeing, guests are invited to make the hotel itself the destination of their trip — relaxing poolside with an ocean view, then moving on to a dinner built around Awaji Island's seasonal ingredients.
It's a season when the last notes of summer meet the first signs of autumn, offering a quiet, indulgent kind of resort time found only now.
A Garden Pool Still Worth Enjoying
Hotel Anaga's garden pool looks directly out over the Naruto Strait, offering an open, resort-like setting. Unlike the height of summer, the softer sunlight and pleasant sea breeze of this season make it an especially good time to unwind by the water.
Guests can do more than swim — reading in a deck chair or simply chatting while taking in the view are equally rewarding ways to spend the time. Even moments of doing nothing at all become part of the memory of the trip.

A Season to Unwind on Awaji Island
An open, scenic afternoon by the pool, paired with seasonal dining found nowhere else — Hotel Anaga is proposing a special stay to make the most of Awaji Island this summer.
Whether traveling with family, as a couple, or spending a summer holiday with someone special, guests are invited to enjoy a distinctive stay at Hotel Anaga.
Rather than treating summer as over, Hotel Anaga proposes savoring a little more of its afterglow — a resort stay for the Awaji Island of the days ahead, built around spending time at the hotel itself rather than packing in sightseeing.
A suggested way to spend the time:
- Midday: time by the garden pool
- Afternoon: an original cocktail at the poolside bar
- Evening: sunset views over the Naruto Strait from the guest room
- Dinner: a course featuring the season's best from Awaji Island and the Seto Inland Sea
- Night: stargazing, with a wish for any shooting stars
- The next morning: a quiet morning looking out over the calm sea
With Awaji Island's natural surroundings, seasonal ingredients, and the quiet atmosphere unique to Hotel Anaga, guests can step away from daily life and let both body and mind unwind.
