Hotel GOTO RETREAT by Onko Chishin in Goto

Stayin’ Fancy at GOTO RETREAT, Nagasaki

At GOTO RETREAT, you find yourself in this odd combo of nature and luxury, smack dab in the middle of Goto. They've got a shared lounge where the Wi-Fi’s faster than a Japanese bullet train, and a terrace that might just have the best sunset this side of the globe. I once saw a guest try to take a photo of it, but ended up just staring—guess the view’s too good for Instagram.

The rooms? Air-conditioned, just in case the Pacific decides to throw a heatwave your way. Mini-bars stocked like a treasure chest, flat-screens so clear you’d think the sumo match is in the next room, and bathrooms where you might just sing a tune or two. Cycling enthusiasts can find trails around Goto that make you forget what year it is, while others might just enjoy the quiet—like a ninja sneaking away from the hustle and bustle.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to live like a samurai with a taste for the finer things, GOTO RETREAT is where you want to be. Just remember to check the minibar before you leave—or your wallet might feel lighter than a feather.
