Setoda ー Hiroshima
Located at the doorstep of the island's sea, right by Setoda Port. Since the late Edo period, a warehouse built by wealthy merchants has been overseeing this town as a salt warehouse. It has been renovated into Overview Coffee Japan Roaster. Across the street, on the first floor, an open dining establishment, MINATOYA, has been set up, and on the second floor, a hotel is provided. The former neighboring residence, once on the first floor, has been transformed into a delicatessen, 'hifumi,' using local ingredients, while the second floor has been expanded to enhance hotel accommodations.
The Activity Center collaborates with local guides, including farmers and fishermen, to offer tours, serving as a point of connection between the local community and the outside world throughout the entire facility. Since its opening in 2021, the facility has continued to expand, aiming to further enhance lifestyle functions within walking distance for the nearby neighborhood.

MINATOYA
MINATOYA is a restaurant inside SOIL Setoda; a space where locals and tourists intersperse.
Not quite luncheonette but not quite izakaya, the one constant at Minatoya is the flow of fresh ingredients from local farmers and fishermen, and the crackling of wood in the hearth fire on which they are cooked. We regularly invite chefs and producers who tread the line between traditional and innovative in a way that is natural and harmonious with the environment and community.

hifumi
A shop that combines a delicatessen and bento shop with a select shop related to food, housed in the renovated property that became the first installment of the SHOPHOUSE Project.
The concept revolves around 'delivering joy to everyday life through food.' The daily homemade side dishes and bento boxes use fresh ingredients obtained through direct transactions with local farmers and fishermen, aiming to create flavors that delight both the body and the soul.
With just the right balance of distance and attentiveness, the shop also offers products that build relationships with producers and the local community, including seasonings and tableware. hifumi embodies the spirit of SOIL and delivers the joy of food, serving as a pillar of daily life and a place where one can take home memories of Setoda.

We encourage residents, newcomers, and visitors to utilize the space to bring a co-created vibrance to the town.
