Amami Onsen Nantenen (Nantenen Co., Ltd.)

This hot spring inn is located in a rural area surrounded by mountains and rich in nature, and is easily accessible, just a 40-minute train ride from Osaka city and a 1-minute walk from Amami Station. The 110-year-old main building is a traditional wooden Sukiya-style building designed by Tatsuno Kingo, who also designed Tokyo Station, and is designated as a national tangible cultural property. The Japanese garden, which covers an area of 10,000 sq. m, offers seasonal scenery such as cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. The inn is proud of its Japanese cuisine and hot springs that make use of seasonal ingredients. The cuisine is also suitable for vegetarians. Put on a yukata and geta and stroll through the garden, take a bath in the hot spring, relax in your room with Japanese cuisine and alcohol, and then sleep in your futon. The rooms are covered with tatami mats, and in the tokonoma alcoves there are seasonal hanging scrolls, flower arrangements, Japanese tableware such as pottery and lacquerware, and Japanese cuisine, so you can experience Japanese culture without leaving your room. The surrounding area is a rural area where the original Japanese scenery remains, and we recommend walking, cycling, and trekking. Kawachinagano city is a treasure trove of history and culture, with famous temples that are designated as national treasures and important cultural properties. It is also blessed with a rich natural environment, where you can enjoy hiking and swimming in the river. If you travel a little further, you can also visit the World Heritage site of Mount Koya and the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group.
