Stay at NEMU RESORT

NEMU RESORT has two types of accommodations: hotels and villas, and both are characterized by spaces where you can feel close to nature.

Here we will introduce the charms of "HOTEL NEMU" and "NEMU Forest Villa".

HOTEL NEMU

The guest rooms at HOTEL NEMU are characterized by large horizontal windows, allowing you to enjoy a panoramic view of the NEMU RESORT forest.

There are three types of guest rooms in total, and the one pictured above is the "Deluxe Room."

The raised sofa and high-quality bed enhance the resort feel.

A spacious 1,400mm double bed, night steamer and coffee maker will further enhance your relaxation.

There are also plenty of limited amenities exclusive to this room, including Mikimoto Cosmetics skin care sets and cotton body towels, which will make your resort stay a reality.

▲The ``Superior Tatami Room'', a modern Japanese-style room, offers a relaxing space unique to a Japanese-style room.

The maximum capacity is 5 people, making it perfect for families with children or traveling with friends.

We are particular about the bedding in this room, and the high-quality bedding in pursuit of a "blissful sleep" invites a comfortable night's sleep.

All guest rooms are in great locations to view the sunset and starry sky, and if you listen to the large windows, you can even hear the birds chirping.

The open rooms where you can forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life are a unique charm of HOTEL NEMU.

NEMU Forest Villa

[Day 1] 15:30 ~ Beach bathed in the sunset

Forest Villa comes with a dedicated land car, so you can easily move around the premises.

Since we booked the SUP experience from 5pm, let's go to the meeting place, ``Sunset Beach''!

I arrived earlier than the meeting time, so I took a breather in the reclining chair provided.

The environment is so quiet that you can hear the chirping of birds and the sound of waves, so you can forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

[Day 1] 16:00 Private SUP ★

Enjoy "Private SUP" with a detailed lecture from a dedicated instructor!

This activity is recommended for those who want to enjoy a full 2 hours with their own plan.

After enjoying your SUP experience, work up a sweat in the villa's bathroom.

The bathtub is oblong so it's easy to stretch your legs, so you can relax and soak in the hot water.

[Day 1] 18:30 ~ Glamping dinner

For dinner, enjoy a glamping dinner exclusively for hotel guests on the wooden deck!

The hotel staff will do everything from lighting the grill, preparing the plates, and transporting the ingredients, so you don't have to worry about preparation.

Here are the ingredients for grilling. The box was filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas of Ise-Shima, such as Ise lobster, abalone, Isedori chicken, Shima healthy pork, and locally produced dried fish!

In addition to the grilled menu, there were also sashimi and desserts, so you are sure to be very satisfied with the combinations that you will never get tired of.

Let's keep grilling the ingredients before they lose their freshness. The iron plate has a large space, so you can cook about 2 people at once.

The hotel staff will clean up after your meal, so you don't have to worry about tidying up.

The best part of glamping is being able to enjoy camping easily!

[Day 1] 20:00 ~ Stargazing on the wooden deck

After dinner, why not enjoy watching the starry sky while sitting on a chair on the wooden deck?

It was a bright moonlit night on the day of the interview, so I couldn't see many stars, but if the weather conditions are good, you might be able to see a sky full of stars.

Light up a fire pit in your garden for an authentic camping atmosphere.

[Day 2] 7:00 ~ Morning Rela ★

If you are an early riser, why not enjoy yoga in the morning?

At the Yoga Terrace (Garden Room), ``Morning Rela'' is held every morning from 7:00 to 8:00, and you can enjoy yoga to wake up your body in a relaxed manner.

This is a light stretching program, so even yoga beginners can easily participate.

After moving your body with yoga, return to the villa and have breakfast ♪

Hotel staff will deliver a ``Forest Breakfast'' exclusive to guests to the wooden deck.

The rice bowl is filled with plenty of Japanese-style dishes made with ingredients from Ise-Shima, so you can have a luxurious time starting in the morning.

Because it's an easy-to-carry size, one way to enjoy it is to travel by car and eat it wherever you like on the premises.

[2nd day] 9:30 ~ Stroll by land car

It's about an hour and a half until check-out. If you want to make the most of your time, we recommend taking a walk around in a land car.

There are several other vantage points other than the ``sunset beach'' introduced here.

One of them is the ``East Viewing Platform,'' which is a perfect location from which to view Ago Bay.

You can get there in about 15 minutes by car and on foot.

The view of the sunrise from here is also beautiful, and it is especially beautiful within the grounds of NEMU RESORT ♪

Another recommended spot is “Tefutefu no Oka”.

This is a spectacular view that is symbolic of NEMU RESORT, with a vast lawn stretching as far as the eye can see.

You can relax both body and mind by lying down on the green grass and taking deep breaths while looking out at the 360-degree panoramic view.
