Located within a national park, this accommodation attracts with its breathtaking views of the East China Sea and the serene flow of time.
The open-air baths surrounded by nature are the essence of Gosoku no Kutsu. The naturally flowing hot spring has a soft texture that leaves your skin smooth to the touch. The ability to bathe at any time is also an appealing point.
The terrace next to the restaurant offers a breathtaking view. Especially at twilight, the contrast between the twilight sky and the East China Sea is striking, creating unforgettable memories.
The cuisine, centered around fresh local seafood, is highly regarded by many guests. Both dinner and breakfast offer dishes that highlight the rich ingredients of Amakusa.
Due to its mountainous location, care should be taken when accessing the inn, especially the villa C on the hilltop with narrow and steep roads. Extra caution is advised when visiting by large vehicles.
