Soaking up the sights is only natural at Amanemu hotel in Ise-Shima National Park. Built around natural hot springs, called onsen in Japanese, the hotel incorporates the mineral water into spa treatments as well as in each spacious, minimalist room, where soaking tubs offer taps for cold, hot and hot-springs water. Set within a forest overlooking pearl-studded Ago Bay, the buildings are inspired by classic Japanese ryokan tradition, using natural materials in harmony with the views and surroundings. Take it all in from the restaurant, where a menu of local delicacies, including spiny lobster, marbled Wagyu beef and foraged herbs are a taste of the best of Japan.
