[2025 Tatsugo Hotels] Travel Guide for Miru Amami (Updated Jul)

Seascape Villas and Bayview Villas, which opened in July 2024, offer a new experience of being surrounded by the forest and sea in the nature of Amami Oshima. Built on stilt foundations, the wooden villas have a cave-like feel as if they are floating above the trees, and are filled with natural light pouring in through arched windows, with an exterior that blends in with the surroundings. Seascape Villa comes with a private pool, where you can enjoy a view of the horizon while enjoying the ocean view. Meanwhile, Bayview Villa offers a panoramic view of the bay through the forest from inside the room, and you can also enjoy a natural bath in the outdoor bath. The interior is made of natural materials such as collinwood, carbonized cork, Basho washi paper, and luminous shell, and the contrast between the cave-like silence and the sound of the waves heard on the terrace creates a comfortable sense of calm. The house is characterized by its eco-architecture that respects the surrounding ecosystem, with a resource-saving design using environmental surveys and panel construction methods. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

The sparkle of the morning sun reflects off the white sand, and below you spreads a secluded beach with few people. The waves are calm and clear, so you can see the small fish right there. Just one step down from the deck of the pool villa and you're right at the ocean. Sitting on a board chair and enjoying the sea breeze and the sound of the waves all to yourself, you feel like "time has stopped here." Each villa is extremely private, and in the mornings and evenings, you can relax and read a book or splash around in the water, undisturbed by anyone, with Akaogi Bay and the mountains in the background. #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

As the ocean turns orange at dusk, we are guided to our private room at AMANARI, and a course meal that makes use of Amami's nature and island ingredients unfolds before our eyes. We begin with a leisurely potage of turnip and cycad seeds. This is followed by a plate of shellfish and seasonal vegetables. The sashimi that follows is extremely fresh, and the taste of the island's ocean is felt on the tongue. The fried dish is Kagoshima-style fish kamaboko, and the warm dish is steamed taro buns. The main dish is Kagoshima black beef sirloin flavored with black vinegar sauce. It is perfectly cooked and soft, melting in the mouth. Instead of white rice, we are served a sushi platter recommended by the chef and miso soup of the day, and each bite of nigiri further deepens the afterglow of our island trip. The final dessert is seasonal anmitsu. A spoonful of it is packed with the bounty of nature and the kindness of the craftsman. It was a heartwarming island dinner to quietly end a long day. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

At restaurant AMANARI, the sea sparkles in the morning light. You start off with a healthy meal of colorful salad, seasonal fruits, and a green smoothie. Then comes the main course, which you can choose between Japanese and Western cuisine. • Example of Western cuisine: A hearty plate including grilled ham and cheese sandwich and bagel, and a hearty croissant. The dressing is exquisite, and some guests have commented, "It was so good I wanted to buy some to take home." • Example of Japanese cuisine: Full of island ingredients! A set of chicken rice, grilled fish, soft-boiled eggs, pickles, and small side dishes. A menu that lets you experience the flavors and culture of the island from the morning. All the food is handmade and brought warm to each guest's table, and guests have raved about the quality of the breakfast, saying, "The quality of the breakfast is particularly noteworthy!" #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

Hotel I stayed at during my stay on Amami Oshima [MIRU AMAMI] The room I stayed in was a private villa with a pool. The pool and balcony of the room had a view of the ocean, creating a luxurious space. I loved this room so much that I ordered some island food to go and had a relaxing girl's talk in my room. The food at the restaurant [AMANARI] attached to the hotel was also amazing. For dinner, we had a course menu made with plenty of seafood and mountain produce from Amami Oshima. For breakfast, you can choose between Japanese and Western dishes and enjoy the taste of Amami. Each dish was carefully prepared, so I was able to feel the atmosphere of Amami Oshima just by eating. And for lunch, we went to [AMANARI]. The terrace seats at the restaurant are definitely recommended! Other room types include ocean villas and hillside villas, and it's nice that they take you to your room in a cart from the front desk. You can also go down the stairs to the beach. I was very satisfied to be able to spend a relaxing and private island time at MIRU AMAMI!
