The vast sky and the bluest sea you've ever seen. Of course you want to view beautiful scenery with your loved one, right? The Amakusa area, which consists of over 100 islands in the southwest of Kumamoto, is the perfect place for a trip with him. On an island surrounded by nature, you can go dolphin watching and visit a church full of exotic charm... Sharing a special view with him is sure to bring you even closer.

In "Amakusa," you can see a slightly mysterious and somewhat nostalgic landscape with a classical church standing in a quiet fishing village. Walking together through such an extraordinary townscape is sure to give you a fresh feeling that is different from usual. You will have a wonderful trip that will be memorable.

From an ocean view hotel where you can hear the sound of the waves to a villa where you can relax surrounded by trees, there are many inns in Amakusa where you can comfortably experience the nature, culture, and richness that is unique to this place. Since it's been a while since you last traveled with your partner, why not enjoy a luxurious time at a special inn? This time, we will introduce hotels and ryokan in Amakusa that are recommended for couples' trips.

This resort hotel is based on the concept of a "luxury cruise ship floating in the sky." When the hotel lights up, it looks just like a ship setting sail into the Amakusa sky. It is about a 30-minute drive from JR Misumi Station, the land gateway to the Amakusa Islands, so we recommend renting a car. If you make a reservation with the hotel, they can also provide a shuttle service.

All rooms have a large terrace and an open-air bath with natural onsen. From the terrace, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Amakusa sea and islands.

One of the pleasures of staying at a hotel is meal. If you take advantage of the anniversary plan, which is perfect for a special occasion, you can enjoy a dinner course that changes with the season, plus benefits such as sparkling wine. Enjoy a memorable time with the "Ultimate Amakusa Italian" cuisine, made with fresh ingredients from Kumamoto and Amakusa.

The hotel's pool is located in an open and airy location, as if it is floating in the sky of Amakusa. At night, it can be used as a "poolside lounge." If you raise a glass with your boyfriend while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Amakusa, it's sure to create a good atmosphere.

As you walk through the greenery of the trees, you will come across Ishiyama Rikyu Gosoku no Kutsu in Unzen-Amakusa National Park. This unique inn expresses the history and culture of this land, as well as the quiet passion of its people. All rooms are villa-style, so you can enjoy a relaxing time with your partner without being disturbed by anyone. It is about a 40-minute drive from Amakusa Airport, so we recommend accessing it by rental car.

You'd want to spend your precious time together in a special room, right? This time we're introducing the "Premium Villa C" room. This room is unique to Amakusa, with the theme of "Medieval Amakusa when Christianity was introduced." Located on the mountainside, it offers a sense of privacy!

The villa has a spacious open-air bath with natural onsen. During the day, you can enjoy the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the trees, and at night, you can enjoy the starry sky peeking through the gaps in the trees. Spend a very romantic time with your partner♪

"Hotel Ryugu" is a hotel located near the 4th Bridge (Maejima Bridge) of the "Amakusa Five Bridges" that connect the Kyushu mainland and the Amakusa Islands. It is just a short walk from Maejima Port, so active couples can take a boat trip.

Enjoy the start of an extraordinary journey with your partner.

We recommend the suite room "Angel's Ladder" in the annex. With a large deck overlooking the sea and the Amakusa Islands and an onsen spring bath, this luxurious space is perfect for a special trip for two. It looks like you could have a leisurely chat while watching the sky go dark...♡

The hotel has an open-air bath with a view where you can enjoy Matsushima onsen, known as the "beauty bath." There are also five other private open-air baths where you can spend some time alone with your partner.

Guests staying at "Tenshi no Hashigo" can enjoy a teppanyaki dinner in the private dining area "Teppan & Creative Cuisine Kokorozukushi." The dishes, which use carefully selected Amakusa ingredients such as seasonal sashimi, local vegetables, and Higo Akagyu beef, will nourish not only your body but also your soul.

The spa resort hotel "Amakusa Onsen Hotel Alegria Gardens Amakusa" is a 15-minute drive from Amakusa Airport.

When you arrive at the hotel, you will be greeted by an exotic landscape of blue sea and sky, and tall palm trees. The view from the lobby will stop you in your tracks.

Sea Cruise House Navio is an apartment-style hotel built in a seaside town in the Kami Amakusa area. It is about a 15-minute walk from Maejima Port, so we recommend taking the sightseeing train "Let's go on the A-Train Express!" from Kumamoto Station and then taking a boat to get there. The hotel is located in an area where you can get a feel for the lifestyle of the island's residents. You might feel like starting a new life with your partner, giving you a refreshing feeling.

We recommend the "Marisol" room with a kitchen for couples. It has a natural atmosphere and feels like you can relax in your own home. The sea is just around the corner, so you can take a walk around the fishing port with your partner or go to "Matsushima onsen" for a bath...spend your time relaxing and at your own pace.

If you're traveling with your boyfriend who loves the outdoors, we recommend a "Flamping-style" trip. "Flamping" is a portmanteau of the words "frank" (easy) and "camping." You can do this kind of "Flamping" at Marina Franping Village, about a 20-minute drive from JR Misumi Station. Even if you're not an outdoorsy type, you can casually enjoy the camping experience with your boyfriend.

The trailer house, which the owner imported directly from the United States, is a spacious 2LDK layout. It comes with a kitchen, toilet, bathroom, and a bedroom with a queen-size bed, so you won't feel the inconvenience that often accompanies camping. You can enjoy camping in a relaxed atmosphere with hotel-like comfort.

If you come to camp, the first thing you should do is have a BBQ at night! You can bring your own food or make a reservation in advance. They will prepare ingredients such as vegetables and fish from Amakusa for you. The outdoor BBQ area is covered, so you can enjoy BBQ regardless of the weather.

Islands floating in the clear blue sea, bridges connecting the islands, and an exotic church blending into the scenery... In Amakusa, travelers are greeted by scenery that cannot be seen in the city. Why not enjoy a memorable trip with him that is different from the usual?
