Kagoshima Amami City
A top-floor panoramic bath overlooking Naze Bay, and an authentic Finnish sauna
Hotel Sundays Amami is an inn in Amami, Kagoshima Prefecture. From the panoramic bath on the top floor, a sweeping view takes in beautiful Naze Bay and the East China Sea. After relaxing in the open, airy main bathhouse, you can sweat it out slowly in an authentic Nordic Finnish sauna with sauna stones. The men’s sauna also has automatic löyly, and together with a cold plunge the hotel takes pride in, it offers a deeply refreshing experience. There is also a restaurant serving local cuisine, where you can savor Amami to the full.

An open, airy panoramic bath on the hotel’s top floor. While soaking, you can take in a sweeping view of the beautiful seascape of Naze Bay and the East China Sea. Watching the gradations of sky and sea shift with the hours, you can enjoy a luxurious bath that deeply relaxes body and mind.

An authentic Nordic Finnish sauna generously stocked with sauna stones. Water from the automatic löyly pours down at regular intervals, raising pleasant steam and waves of heat and warming the whole body powerfully in a quiet room. After a long, slow sweat, head to the cold plunge right beside it. Its crisp cold envelops the flushed body at once, leading to a bracing cool-down and the true pleasure of alternating hot and cold.
