Beautiful property with delicious food and an incredibly helpful and friendly staff! One of the staff members even saw us rummaging through a bowl of flags for their "Where are you from" map and we casually mentioned that we couldn't find our country but it was alright, then left for a little walk around the property. When we came back, the staff member had printed it out for us! Little details like that show the staff pay attention and go beyond what is required to help their guests. Would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

We stayed at the private Onsen room in the little house off the main building, and it felt very authentic. Service was superb Gary was very helpful and sent us on a beautiful walk the next day. The traditional Japanese meals were an experience on their own, but the private Onsen, and the beautiful grounds were the highlight of our stay.

Wonderful place to stay, so authentic, peaceful, back in time. The staff is extremely kind, the food is refined and delicious. The Onsen (hot baths) is divine. The property and surroundings are beautiful and steps away form the train station. I absolutely recommend this stay while in Japan, it will be a memorable souvenir.

This was our first trip to Japan, ever, so we wanted to experience authentic and traditional Japanese hospitality, and what an amazing surprise we got. We rented the suite, which is the annex. You basically get an entire traditional japanese house, with a private onsen, all for yourself. From the moment you arrive to the ryokan, you get the warmest welcome you can imagine. You are taken to your guest house and introduced to everything around a house. They provide you with Yukatas so you can feel comfortable. For dinner, they come and serve you like a 5 or 6 course meal (I can't remember exactly how much they were), fully authentic seasonal japanese food. Once you are done, they come pick up the food from your dining room, and set up the futons were you will be sleeping, really comfortable futons. By morning, they come and serve the breakfast and store the futons. Did I mentioned the amazing private onsen all for yourselves? What an amazing experience onsens are. Now I understand why it is so embedded in Japanese culture. The only thing I regret is not staying another night, since we had a very tight Japan schedule. But if you ever go to Japan, at least once stay in a traditional Ryokan to enjoy tradition. And I cannot emphasize how great a decision would it be to choose Nanten-en. And if you can afford the suite, go for it. It is something you need to experience once in a lifetime at least.

Zen like stay at Amami Onsen Nanten-en
Enjoyed our stay at Amami Onsen Nantes-en. Convenient location right next to train station. Friendly, professional staff. Large, traditional Japanese room with comfortable sitting area overlooking lovely garden. Dinner in room was delicious, server top notch. Breakfast in main dining room was also excellent. Small onsen overlooking forest very peaceful. If you’re uncomfortable being naked in a large hot tub environment with strangers this may not be for you. I also had a restless night sleeping on the futon, but my wife slept fine. One night was enough for me but I’m glad we got to experience a traditional Japanese ryokan.

Gorgeous traditional building complete with tatami floors, an onsen, and well-maintained grounds. Staying there felt like we were transported back in time (but with the modern luxury of AC during the hot summer). Amazing experience.

Truly like stepping back in time! Our one night here was the highlight of our incredible trip. The staff is so immensely welcoming; our room was absolute perfection (we stayed in the annex with private onsen). And the food, oh my goodness, the best meal of our lives, and we’ve traveled extensively!

Nantenen was exactly what I had expected from a traditional Japanese ryokan experience. I especially enjoyed the welcoming process and was awestruck by the detailed way the kaiseki dinner was presented. Breakfast the next day was amazing as well and filled us up for adventures for the rest of the day. Nantenen was conveniently located within two minutes stroll from the Amami rail station and was removed enough from the city but not inaccessible. My family and my fiancé really enjoyed the experience and would not hesustate to recommend Amami Nantenen to other travelers looking for this type of experience.

We had the great opportunity to stay here for one night when we were passing through to Osaka. The staff here is absolutely amazing. Gary is so knowledgeable of the Japanese culture it is astounding. The facility itself is really amazing. From the onsen to the garden it's just breathtaking. We had the pleasure of experiencing the multiple course dinner and the breakfast the next morning. If you want to treat your self, this is definitely a place you should want to experience. From the traditional bathhouses to traditional meals you can't go wrong.

Nanten-en couldn’t be lovelier. We stayed in this architecturally significant inn in cherry blossom season. Although conveniently located footsteps from the train station, it couldn’t be more peaceful. The staff is friendly and attentive, the grounds are beautiful to walk in, and there are great hiking/biking places nearby. We’d definitely stay here again!

This is a #1 place to visit. Really enjoyed the facilities. Great staff and delicious meals. However there is almost nothing else to see in Amami. There is a train station within 3 min walk that can take you anywhere around this region of the mountains. I’d stay here again

Upon check-in an English sealing staff (Gary) greeted us and talked us through information we need to know about the place and some interesting facts on Japan cultures. The place is great, our room is on the ground floor which the onsen bath and toilet just around the corner. Onsen opens throughout the night which is great as me and hubby checked in later and we popped in the bath in midnight which is lovely with the view outside. Staff were really helpful and happy to help us with anything we needed. Will visit again for sure.
