Discover the Charms of Japan’s Islands with ritomaru

Since its founding, ritomaru has embraced the philosophy of cherishing what already exists while creating new value for remote islands. We have developed our resorts with respect for the natural environment and local traditions. We are a team committed to bringing smiles and inspiration to all living beings, restoring the joy of island life, and revitalizing Japan from its outermost regions. At our properties on Iki Island — “hatsuyama villa,” “ashibe house,” “Resort villa,” and “THE RITOMARU” — the island’s remarkable natural beauty and spirit of hospitality are expressed throughout every detail. Through your stay, you can experience ritomaru’s commitment to honoring nature and traditional culture. At “THE NEST Mori no Akari” in Munakata, the concept is “live naturally and play in nature.” Surrounded by lush greenery, this forest hideaway offers a luxurious experience where everyday comfort and extraordinary escape come together. Also located in Munakata, “Auberge Kala Munakata” offers a stay in a historic traditional home built in 1887, together with a diverse culinary experience including French cuisine, charcoal-grilled dishes, and a café. “THE RITOMARU Residence Akama Fukuoka” revives a Showa-era residence in Akama, Munakata, in a refined Japandi style. With an authentic tea room and bar, it offers an understated yet luxurious stay woven naturally into the rhythm of the town. At “Tomorrow is another day in my calm house” in Fukutsu, Fukuoka, the Mirror Sea stretches out before you. Surrounded by nature, discover a new style of stay designed to bring both mind and body into a state of calm. “ritomaru rooms” in Hakata is located in the lively Hakozaki area, centered around Hakozaki Shrine—one of Japan’s three great Hachiman shrines—and filled with cultural attractions, diverse restaurants, and streets made for exploring. “THE RITOMARU Minamiaso,” a renovated Meiji-era traditional house, is a private villa overlooking the Five Peaks of Aso and the surrounding caldera rim.
Once preserved for generations by the family of a former village mayor, the house enjoys some of the finest views and breezes in the village. Reconnect with the land of Minamiaso and restore mind and body with a sauna, cold bath, and reclining bath.
At “Minamiaso Ringatei LOG HOUSE by ritomaru,” the warmth of a log cabin meets an open interior surrounded by works of art.
