Amanemu – 6 Luxurious Retreats in Japan’s Ise-Shima

Aman Hotels and ResortsAmanemu

Tucked along the tranquil shores of Ago Bay and surrounded by the forested hills of Ise-Shima, Amanemu offers an intimate retreat where Japanese tradition meets refined luxury. Inspired by the elegance of a classic ryokan, this onsen resort is a sanctuary of stillness, inviting guests to slow down and embrace the restorative power of nature.

From the moment you arrive, the gentle rhythm of Ise-Shima becomes part of your stay—whether it’s the soothing embrace of mineral-rich waters, the spiritual presence of sacred shrines, or the rare traditions of the pearl-diving ama. Here, luxury isn’t about excess; it’s about harmony, authenticity, and moments that feel deeply personal.

Suites – Minimalist Beauty with a Private Onsen

Each suite draws on the simple grace of traditional Minka architecture, blending clean lines with warm, natural materials. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors inside, while a private onsen bath offers a deeply restorative ritual in the comfort of your own space.

Villas – Exclusive Sanctuaries for Families and Groups

The two-bedroom villas are designed for those who seek privacy without compromise. Generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, coupled with serene views, make these residences ideal for extended stays or special gatherings.

Wellness Rooted in Ancient Traditions

The Amanemu Spa spans 2,000 square metres, embracing Japan’s centuries-old onsen culture. Thermal waters flow into outdoor baths and treatment pools, complemented by tailored therapies, movement spaces, and peaceful corners for quiet reflection.

Dining – A Taste of the Shima Peninsula

Menus are shaped by the region’s natural abundance—fresh seafood from Ago Bay, locally grown vegetables, and seasonal delicacies prepared with both traditional craftsmanship and modern elegance. The bar and tea experiences celebrate Japan’s seasonal flavours in equally artful ways.

Immersive Cultural and Nature Experiences

Within Ise-Shima National Park, Amanemu places guests in the heart of a landscape rich with history and natural beauty. Walk ancient pilgrimage routes, explore revered Shinto shrines, or witness the skills of the ama, Japan’s legendary female freedivers.

The Villa Experience – Elevated Privacy and Privileges

Guests booking the Villa Experience enjoy exclusive benefits, including complimentary dining and curated off-property experiences, ensuring a stay that feels truly bespoke.


Getting Here

Amanemu is reachable via a 35-minute helicopter transfer from Chubu Centrair International Airport in Nagoya or a scenic Shinkansen and coastal train journey from Tokyo.
