Kumamoto Kamiamakusa City
Spectacular open-air baths overlooking Amakusa Fuji and the sunset over the sea, with a natural chloride spring
"Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Amakusa Hotel Kameya" is an onsen hotel in Kamiamakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. From the panoramic open-air bath on higher ground, you can take in sweeping views of the Amakusa Sea dotted with islands and the beautiful mountain range known as "Amakusa Fuji." On clear evenings, the sky and sea turn a deep crimson, creating a spectacular view. The spring water is a natural chloride spring with excellent heat-retaining properties that leaves the skin smooth, and the warmth lingers long after you leave the bath. The large baths feature spacious tubs overlooking the sea and a fragrant hinoki bath, along with a dry sauna where you can work up a full sweat and a cold plunge bath. The main building also has a smaller bath with a different atmosphere. After bathing, you can relax with a seafood buffet, table tennis, and a manga corner, making for a well-rounded and comfortable stay.

A spacious panoramic large bath and open-air bath set on higher ground, offering a sweeping view of the Amakusa Sea and sky. From the tub, you can enjoy the mountain range known as Amakusa Fuji and the orange-tinted sunset, selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Sunsets. The water is a natural chloride spring that gently warms the body, and its heat-retaining effect continues after bathing, leaving the skin smooth.

A hinoki bath attached to the panoramic large bath, filled with the refreshing fragrance of wood. Its naturally soft feel and warm scent, combined with the benefits of the chloride spring, create deep relaxation. With the sea in view, you can enjoy a calm, restorative soak that loosens both mind and body.

A small bath and semi-open-air bath in the main building with a quiet, understated atmosphere. In a calm, private-feeling space different from the large bath, you can enjoy a soothing soak. It also draws natural chloride spring water, allowing you to slowly ease away fatigue in the warmth of the bath and the tranquil setting.

A dry sauna attached to each of the men’s and women’s large baths. In a simple, calm wooden space stripped of unnecessary decoration, you can quietly focus on yourself and gradually work up a sweat. The firm heat envelops your body, further warming you after the onsen and delivering a refreshing sweating experience.

A cold plunge bath located right next to the sauna room, designed to cool down an overheated body. After sweating thoroughly in the sauna, the pleasant coolness tightens the skin and enhances the refreshing effect of alternating hot-and-cold bathing. Its crisp chill runs through your whole body and builds anticipation for the outdoor air bath while feeling the sea breeze afterward.
