Overview

Welcome to the Amakusa Islands, a place where small islands float peacefully across a quiet sea. Matsushima Kanko Hotel Misakitei sits just beside the fifth bridge, known as Matsushima-bashi. It takes about an hour and a half to reach the hotel from Kumamoto City by car.

From your room or the dining area, you can gaze across the sparkling waters and the scattered islands of the Amakusa-nada Sea. The hotel surrounds you with calm and natural beauty, offering a quiet retreat where warm hospitality and thoughtful care shape every moment of your stay.

Accommodation

Every room in the hotel faces the sea, giving you a direct view of the tranquil water and distant islands. As the sun sets behind the waves, you can enjoy the evening in peace and comfort.

You can choose from several types of rooms:

• Japanese-Style Rooms with either 10 or 12 tatami mats, some featuring a private roof garden.
• Western-Style Rooms with twin or single beds, offering clean and comfortable spaces for a relaxing stay.
• Japanese-Western Style Rooms that combine traditional flooring with modern beds for the best of both worlds.

All rooms include essentials like yukata robes, bath towels, a refrigerator, a TV, and a tea set. Some rooms also provide hair dryers. You’ll find thoughtful touches like pickled plum tea and traditional plum snacks waiting in your room.

Dining

The hotel takes pride in its fresh seafood, brought in daily from the Amakusa-nada Sea. Whether you enjoy your meal in the main dining room or at the teppanyaki table, you’ll experience the deep flavor of the region’s waters.

Choose from several dinner options:

• Special Abalone Plan: Enjoy local abalone prepared in several styles, along with red sea bream or lobster, depending on your selected course.
• Teppanyaki Plans: Watch chefs prepare your meal on a sizzling iron griddle while the Ariake Sea sparkles in the background. The sound, scent, and flavors come together for an unforgettable dining experience.

For lunch or dinner, the Misaki Tamatebako plan offers a seasonal spread, from casual bowls to elegant courses. The restaurant also features “Ambrosia,” a teppanyaki dining space named after the mythical food of the gods, open daily for lunch and dinner.

Onsen and Wellness

The hotel’s hot spring facilities include both indoor and outdoor baths for men and women. Large windows let you enjoy views of a Japanese-style garden while you soak in the warm mineral water.

For more privacy, reserve one of the four family open-air baths, each with a unique theme: AJISAI, SUMIRE, KOSUMOSU, and KIKYO. These baths are tucked into a quiet courtyard, each designed to help you unwind at your own pace.

At the Beauty Corner “Shell”, you can choose from six esthetic courses such as lift-up, moisture, or whitening treatments. Reservations are recommended, and guests who stay overnight can enjoy discounted services.
