The interior of the hotel, including guest rooms, restaurants and lounges, has been renovated to create a new facility that combines comfort and a high-casual resort feel for a wide range of guests, including those with children.
In addition, the ‘Samana Foundation’ was established to mark the opening of the rebranded resort. The funds will be used to contribute to the conservation of nature and the local community on Yakushima Island, a World Heritage Site.
All Onsen Suites have ocean views, allowing you to have the bright blue gradient of the Yakushima Sea all to yourself. The rooms are also equipped with an in-room, free-flowing hot-spring bath, allowing guests to enjoy the natural hot-spring water 24 hours a day, whenever they like.
Outside the rooms, which are chic yet functional, you will find spectacular views of Yakushima from a variety of angles, from ocean views over the horizon to mountain views of the World Natural Heritage-listed area.
This is a natural hot spring with free-flowing hot spring water, which was ranked No. 1 in the Kagoshima Prefecture user-voted category in the 2023 NIFTY Hot Springs Annual Ranking. It is said to ‘relieve stress’ and ‘improve sleep quality’, and its moderate temperature makes it possible to enjoy a long hot bath without strain.
Enjoy seasonal produce from local producers with whom you have a close relationship in a buffet-style resort dining room.
The lounge welcomes travellers with a carefully selected drinks menu. It offers a space that is close to the hotel’s guests.
The terrace is perched on a steep cliff. The view is spectacular wherever you look – the ocean stretching out in front of you, Mt. Mocchom when you turn around, the sunset beautifully tinting the sky and sea, the stars in the sky – it’s an experience of being swept away by Yakushima’s nature.

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.
