Overview
Auberge RISORA is a retreat auberge in Akune, Kagoshima, made up of 5 villas, each with its own theme. The bath in every room is fed straight from the source by the property's own spring, Rinne no Yu, so your family can bathe on your own in your room's bath. Breakfast and dinner are both served in the restaurant, and meals accommodating allergies can be arranged. Villas 1 to 4 are for 1 to 2 guests and Villa 5 is for 1 to 4 guests, so families of three or more will need Villa 5. Age restrictions for children, child rates, co-sleeping and baby items are not listed in our information, so if you are traveling with children, please confirm with the property before booking.
Rooms
The accommodation consists of 5 villas, each with its own theme, for a total of 5 rooms. The whole property is announced as scheduled to open in fall 2026. Villa 1 is RISORA's only dog villa, at 107 sq m. Its living room, courtyard and covered terrace flow into one another, it comes with a private groundwater pool, pets are allowed, and it is for 1 to 2 guests. Villa 2 is 100 sq m, laid out so that wooden latticework wraps around an indoor bath and a detached bedroom. Villa 3 is 111 sq m, and its tub is a specially designed neyu (a shallow bath for lying down in). Villa 4 is 116 sq m, with a private sauna, a wood-burning stove and a water garden.
Villas 1 to 4 are each for 1 to 2 guests, and whether children count toward that number is not listed in our information. The villa for three or more guests is Villa 5: 146 sq m, with no steps, a private study and two bedrooms, for 1 to 4 guests. Because it has no steps, it is worth keeping in mind when choosing a room if your family uses a stroller. On the property's own booking page, Villas 1 to 4 each have two semi-double beds, and Villa 5 has two semi-double beds plus one king bed. These room sizes come from the introduction on the property's website; the property's own booking page and Rakuten Travel show different figures (for example, 112.08 sq m for Villa 5). Rooms have Wi-Fi, an electric hot-water kettle, a tea set, a refrigerator, a hair dryer, a humidifier, individually controlled air conditioning and a toilet with a bidet function, along with nightwear, slippers and a safe.

Which allergens can be handled, and to what extent, is not listed in our information, so please let the property know when booking. Kids' menus and children's chairs are not mentioned.
Baths and Onsen
Water from the property's own spring, Rinne no Yu, flows straight from the source into every room. The spring water is a high-concentration sodium bicarbonate spring.

The bathing tax is included in the room rate.
