< Renovation Overview >
1. Debut of a Total of 18 Villas, Featuring the New Hills Villa and Forest Villa, Offering an Immersive Experience of Ise-Shima’s Natural Environment

To provide guestrooms that allow guests to fully experience the natural surroundings of Ise-Shima, the resort will newly establish 8 Hills Villas and 10 Forest Villas.

The new villas will feature standard types, each measuring approximately 871 ft2 (81 m2), including the wood deck. Among the newly built Forest Villas, 2 will be configured as 2-bedroom units measuring approximately 1,270 ft2 (118 m2), ideal for families and groups. Built using timber from Mie Prefecture, the villas offer a serene stay enveloped in abundant nature. Each villa features a view bath and a terrace for barbecues centered on ingredients produced in Mie Prefecture, and rooms also include astronomical telescopes and record players, providing guests an opportunity to unwind by stargazing at Ise-Shima’s beautiful night skies and relaxing with music. Washer-dryers and large refrigerators have also been installed to accommodate guests staying for multiple days. Of the existing Forest Villas, all 8 have been reborn as Forest Villa DOG, which are dog-friendly villas where guests can stay with their dogs (including some large breeds). Guests may also drive up to each villa by car, and each villa will have its own dedicated electric buggy for comfortable travel throughout the expansive grounds of NEMU RESORT.

Guests will be able to spend a relaxing time surrounded by nostalgic and rich music with a drink in hand.

The new kids’ space features a safe environment where young children can learn and enjoy themselves, designed under the theme of the nature of Ise-Shima and NEMU RESORT.

■ The Satoyama Waterside Garden has been redeveloped into a waterside space where visitors can reflect on coexistence with the natural environment while being immersed in a rich natural habitat

At NEMU RESORT, part of the water used within the resort is secured through on-site reservoirs, and the wastewater generated is purified and then released into the Satoyama Waterside Garden. Through this system, the resort promotes the circular use of water resources.

The Satoyama Waterside Garden has been redeveloped as part of this renovation to ensure the natural flow and purification of water. The resort plans to introduce programs such as nature observation and environmental learning, allowing guests to encounter creatures they would rarely see in daily life and to experience the many facets of satoyama (countryside) nature. As guests stroll along gentle streams and ponds, the resort will also provide opportunities to reflect on coexistence with the natural environment while experiencing the vitality of nature.

Sustainability in the Mitsui Fudosan Group

Based on the meaning of its “& mark,” “to generate new value with society through cooperation, coexistence and co-creation, we forge ahead, innovating,” the Mitsui Fudosan Group views the “creation of social value” and the “creation of economic value” as two wheels of a cart. Accordingly, we believe that the creation of social value leads to the creation of economic value, and that this economic value then creates even greater social value.

Moreover, we identified six Group Materiality priority issues when formulating our new management philosophy in April 2024. These Group Materiality priority issues are (1) Contribute to industrial competitiveness, (2) Coexist with the environment, (3) Health and Vitality, (4) Safety and security, (5) Diversity and inclusion, and (6) Compliance and governance. The Mitsui Fudosan Group will work to address each of the materialities through its core business activities and contribute to the promotion of sustainability.

Furthermore, in April 2025, the Mitsui Fudosan Group formulated “& EARTH for Nature,” its declaration of coexistence with the environment in neighborhood creation. Seeing the environment as a “Holistic Environment” blending nature, people, and community into a cohesive whole, the Group is promoting neighborhood creation that expands prosperous “Holistic Environments” and passes them on to future generations. In the Declaration, five key issues to address have been established: Preserve and nurture greenery, Harness the allure of water, Enrich the ecosystem, Connect the aspirations of the community, and Promote the circulation of natural resources. The initiatives described in this news release contribute to five of the key issues to address in “& EARTH for Nature.”
