Introducing SENSE'S: A Luxurious Retreat in Okumatsushima

On April 22, 2026, a new tranquil getaway named SENSE'S will open its doors in the serene landscape of Okumatsushima, Miyagi Prefecture. Developed by Arclink Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Ark Holdings, this unique retreat features just seven guest cottages set on a sprawling 33,000 square meter property.

Experience the Essence of Being

Each guestroom at SENSE'S is equipped with a private sauna, promising a luxurious escape that encourages guests to connect with their true selves. The concept of the retreat is inspired by the beauty of Okumatsushima, where nature seamlessly intertwines with relaxation.

A Retreat Born from Nature

Fifteen years after the East Japan Earthquake, the Okumatsushima area holds both rich natural beauty and a sense of tranquility. However, there has been a lack of opportunities for guests to immerse themselves deeply in this unique environment.
