Amami Onsen Nanten-En Tours and Activities

Watch snow fall and cling to tree branches along the mountainside while relaxing in the natural hot springs at Amami Onsen Nanten-En. Onsens are said to have healing powers from the mineral content in the natural flowing water. In addition to the healing water, Amami Onsen is a traditional Japanese inn, or ryokan. The inn is nestled in the mountains of Kyoto prefecture, a mere hour train ride from Osaka. The sights and sound of the city give way to tranquility and picturesque views along the route, which concludes near the remote Onsen.

Amami Onsen features a 10,000 square meter Japanese-style garden. From the cherry blossoms that burst to life in the spring to the crimson, orange, and gold fall foliage all the way to the fairy tale winter wonderland, the garden is one of Amami Onsen's best attractions. The Onsen can be enjoyed on a day trip from Osaka, but to get the full experience, guests should consider staying at least one night. Along with lounging in traditional Japanese robes, sleeping on plush bedding and calming the nerves in the hot springs, guests enjoy traditional home-cooked meals made with seasonal ingredients.
