Tenku no Mori

As soon as you touch down at Tenku no Mori, you'll understand why its name translates as "heaven in the sky." This stunning resort, located under the watchful eye of Japan's volcanic mountains and surrounded by rainforest, will quickly become your personal haven.

Gaze at Mt. Kirishima from your private villa. The resort houses just three villas for overnight stays (plus two for daytime relaxation), so you can be assured of a peaceful visit at the 123-acre property. Indulge in the spa's open-air baths and extensive menu of body treatments, and in specially prepared local foods such as organically grown vegetables and free-range Satsuma-jidori chicken.

Glide through your natural surroundings in a helicopter... you'll get a birds'-eye view of the volcanic Mt. Kirishima and Mt. Sakurajima. Or hop on a shuttle to one of the exclusive golf courses nearby - not even a bad round will disturb your inner peace.
