Mountain Lodge Amanosato

Luxury is woven into every corner of this hotel.It is the ultimate retreat where you can feel indulgence with all five senses.From fluffy towels you can truly feel against your skin and wonderfully comfortable bedding, to rooms filled with every comfort, everything here is designed for relaxation. There are also three private reservable natural hot-spring baths—perfect for unwinding at your own pace, warming both body and soul without worrying about anyone else.The cuisine is equally exceptional: beautifully presented, seasonal dishes made with a strong commitment to local ingredients. The in-room minibar also features carefully selected drinks, and the all-inclusive bar counter offers an impressive lineup of fine spirits.And the best background music of all is nature itself—the sounds of insects and birds as you do nothing in particular and simply relax. For those used to city life surrounded by man-made structures, the sweeping rural scenery and the gentle fragrance of seasonal flowers feel like a feast for the heart. This is how “luxury” quietly spreads through every part of you.Above all, the greatest luxury is meeting the wonderful staff. From welcome to farewell, their flawless yet heartfelt hospitality soothes you in every moment—it’s true healing. We always look forward to our conversations with everyone here.Before each stay, it has become our tradition to visit Niutsuhime Shrine—a UNESCO World Heritage Site about five minutes away by car. This time, we joined a talk held from 5:00 PM in the lobby lounge about Niutsuhime Shrine. The storyteller shared fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that only someone closely connected to the shrine could tell; before we knew it, around 30 minutes had flown by. The next day after checkout, we visited Niutsuhime Shrine again and also explored nearby historic spots we learned about during the talk. It allowed us to worship from a completely new perspective—and we discovered power spots we never would have found on our own. The traditional house café near the shrine that was recommended to us was also wonderful, making this trip even more meaningful than ever! We heard these talks will continue on an irregular basis—if one happens during your stay, we highly recommend joining.We also heard that on some days there is a guided visit starting at 7:00 AM (meeting at the lobby lounge) for worship at Niutsuhime Shrine.No matter how many seasons pass or how much time goes by, this is a place we want to return to again and again.It’s truly a blissful hotel—so full of happiness that it feels impossible to find anywhere else!

We stayed here as a couple to celebrate a birthday.From the meals and baths to the Room amenities and Shuttle Service, everything was filled with hospitality, and they were flexible in accommodating our requests, making our stay truly enjoyable and happy.Some Accommodations offer inclusive bar drinks or well-equipped Rooms, but this place is on another level—we were able to enjoy an extraordinary sense of luxury.We would definitely love to visit again.Thank you very much!
