Amanemu
Shima, Gunma, Japan · Virtuoso
Amanemu embraces the ancient Japanese bathing tradition of onsen, using nutrient-rich thermal springs to provide a contemplative and restorative retreat set among serene natural surroundings. Location Amanemu is set within Ise-Shima National Park on the Kii Peninsula, in the southwestern region of the island of Honshu. The resort overlooks Ago Bay, known as the Bay of Pearls – a blue expanse dotted with oyster rafts and islets. By CAR: Distance by car is approximately 124 miles (2.5 – 3 hours roughly on highway) By TRAIN: From airport, head to Nagoya Station (approx 20 minutes); at Nagoya Station, change to train for Kashikojima (approx 2 hours 10 minutes) to Amanemu. Total time 2.5 hours –…
Experience the curative powers of Amanemu. Its 21,500-square-foot spa centers around a mineral-rich onsen (there are two private pavilions, as well), fed by salt-infused springs from Ise-Shima National Park. Indeed, each of 24 suites and 4 two-bedroom villas has its own onsen, along with walls that open to tranquil Ago Bay or the surrounding forest. Practice yoga on the outdoor platform, witness a prayer ceremony at the Ise Grand Shrine, or go fishing with a local angler and have the chef prepare fresh sashimi from your catch. The UNESCO-designated Kumano Kodo trails are worth the day trip.
