Atami one of 3rd Great Sea & Hot Spring Resorts in Japan
Atami (熱海), part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, is a coastal hot spring resort in Shizuoka prefecture, on the east coast of the Izu Peninsula southwest of Tokyo, Japan.
Atami means hot ocean. The town has been a popular hot spring resort since the 8th century and is ranked as one of Japan's Three Great Hot Springs (三大温泉 Sandaionsen). These days the coastline is heavily developed and covered in identikit concrete hotels, but in summer the sandy beach is popular.
Atami is on the Tokaido Shinkansen main line, just 50 minutes from Tokyo (¥3570 for an unreserved seat)
Atami is also a stop on the regular Tokaido Line which runs from Tokyo (1 3/4 hours to Atami, ¥1890) and continues on to Shizuoka and Hamamatsu.
Atami is a popular day or weekend trip from Tokyo for scuba diving, largely due to its proximity to the city (40 minutes by shinkansen).
Sites feature some spectacular soft corals and sea life including nudibranchs, moray eels, and octopus.
Atami also has one of the only divable wrecks in mainland Japan.
Atami MOA Museum of Art (MOA美術館), opened in 1982 to house some of the collection of eccentric millionaire Mokichi Okada (see box), the displays here run the gamut from Japanese calligraphy to Tang-dynasty pottery, with a roomful of Matisse, a tea room covered in gold leaf and Socialist-realist bronze sculptures thrown in for flavor.
古屋旅館 Furuya Ryokan has pricey but very exquisite large rooms and suites often providing a gorgeous outdoor private hot bath belonging to rooms. The basement has a large common bath and outdoor bath Rotemburo.
Prices per person start at 24,300 yen and include breakfast and dinner.
