Ishiyama Rikyu Gosoku no Kutsu

Fifteen hillside villas with private open-air baths above the East China Sea

Private-bath villas

Just 15 villa-style cottages sit on grounds of about 33,000 m². Every villa has its own open-air bath and indoor bath fed by free-flowing natural hot-spring water.

East China Sea views

The inn sits on a hillside in Unzen-Amakusa National Park. The Deluxe villas look out to the East China Sea from the room and the open-air bath, and the Superior villas have second-floor balconies facing the sea.

Hidden Christian heritage

The design draws on the history and culture of Amakusa's hidden Christians, dating back to the arrival of Christianity in the 16th century. The Premium villas are Western-style rooms with high, church-like ceilings.

Local-fish kaiseki

Dinner centers on sashimi and grilled dishes of fish caught in the sea just below. Some plates are inspired by the food served to the Tensho Embassy, the young envoys who travelled to Rome in the 16th century.

Getting there

About 40 min by car or taxi from Amakusa Airport (Amakusa Airlines flights from Fukuoka and Kumamoto)
