It was designed by Tatsuno Kingo who is famous as the architect behind Tokyo Station. After being heavily damaged by a typhoon in 1936, the building was dismantled and moved to Amami during the development of Amami Onsen. In 1949, following an empty period, the ryokan Amami Onsen Nanten-en was founded. It is a valuable building designed using Sukiya (traditional tea house) style architecture. It blends modern, Western architecture with a traditional Japanese style and incorporates designs from the Taisho and early Showa Periods. Rooms contain traditional touches such as tatami mats and decorative Tokonoma alcoves. In 2003, it was registered as a National Tangible Cultural Property. The ryokan sits on the Koya Kaido, a 1,000-year-old pilgrimage road that links the ancient capital Kyoto to the north with the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Koyasan to the south. The surrounding villages are steeped in nearly 2.000 years of history and the rustic setting is a great contrast to the bright lights and noise of central Osaka.
