Amanemu

View from suite , note hourly tourist junk that spoils tranquility - unlike in Amano'i .

See the pearl farms in Ago Bay

Swimmable L shaped lap pool

Enjoyed swim on a clear sunny day , not when this was taken

View from farthest pavilion of main onsen , never had anyone else present at same time the numerous times I was there

The spa meal was quite edible :)

Thanks Kagehitokiri , see if this works .

Trying yet again - few times , rejected Amanemu as hotel !! :(

Ise lobster from Ise Shima Roman set

Crispy cherry ebi soba

Farewell raccoon ? .. after all Nemu is in a national park 

Amanemu - farewell Hisayo  .. 

.. padi fields enroute to KIX 

Will amend again later as photos did not show again , so testing with the more interesting ones .

Hope you enjoy what hopefully is appearing so far ..

Lesson : do not update systems when jet lagging or travelling 

Woodcraftman ' s studio

One of the stops we made on a personalised " excursion " to nearby villages & the bay / beach was the workshop of this gifted woodcrafts man & his wife .  He even did a kayak for himself .

May post later when I figure out 

Room full of antique clocks which he restores too !! 

He even gifted a lamp to Nemu !

Salt baked lobster 

They had to use this hammer to crack it

This this is a different lobster we had that same dinner .

Will try post photo of this one ..

And they were both delicious .

The food at Amanemu is really good , whatever we had anyway . As I said , we would return just to eat ..

One should know that Aman ' s are not into fancy presentations , more home style cooking unless it is the new regime ' s idea .. which I have not yet noticed at the few that we have been to this year

Willows Inn , where we are now , well ;)
