Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsScenery and onsen are the main draw here: arrive mid-afternoon, bathe before dinner, enjoy the kaiseki meal and night view, then use the next morning for breakfast and one or two Atami sights before moving on.
Trip-planning verdict: Best as a 1-night or easy 2-night Atami onsen stay for sea views, baths, and a few town sights, not as a long sightseeing base.

Know before booking

Hillside accessIt is above central Atami, so station-to-hotel movement usually needs taxi or bus rather than an easy luggage walk.
Short-stay areaAtami has enough for a relaxed 1-2 nights, but many travelers will run out of nearby must-see sights if they stay longer here.
Not old-ryokan styleThis is a practical modern hot-spring hotel, not a deeply traditional, intimate, high-luxury ryokan experience.

Food & drinks

Access, transport and nearby sights

This ryokan sits on Atami’s hillside, so most travelers arrive most easily via Atami Station and then continue by taxi, hotel shuttle if available, or local bus.

Distances are approximate and calculated from the ryokan coordinates. Travel times may vary depending on route, traffic and schedules.

Should you choose this ryokan?

This is a hillside hot-spring hotel in Atami with broad views over Sagami Bay and the city, and it feels better suited to travelers who want a relaxed stay than a station-centered one. It stands out for scenery, onsen time, and convenient driving access, but its uphill location and some room trade-offs will not suit everyone.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Big bay-and-city viewsThe annex sits on a hill above Atami, so the standout experience is the elevated view over Sagami Bay and the city lights. That setting adds a more scenic, retreat-like feel than many central Atami stays.
  • Onsen with a more open feelThe bath area includes semi-open-air baths as well as other bath types, which makes onsen time feel more atmospheric than a basic indoor setup. It is a strong pick if bathing is one of the main reasons for your stay.
  • Freshly renewed common spacesThe hotel reopened after a March 20, 2026 renewal, with updated guest-room, lobby, and restaurant areas. That gives it an advantage if you want a property that feels more refreshed than older Atami hillside hotels.
  • Good fit for driversIt offers free parking and the hotel specifically gives car-access guidance, which is useful in Atami's steep streets. If you are exploring by rental car, the annex is much easier to enjoy.
  • Solid resort-style extrasBeyond rooms and baths, it has practical extras like an in-house souvenir shop, karaoke, and in-room massage services on limited days. These details make it easier to spend a quiet evening on-site without needing to go back into town.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not ideal without a carThe hotel is about 10 minutes by car from Atami Station and sits uphill, so it is less convenient for travelers who want to walk everywhere. Guests relying on luggage-heavy train travel may find arrival and local movement tiring.
  • Less central evening atmosphereBecause it is removed from the station and waterfront core, popping out for spontaneous restaurant hopping or late-night strolls is less convenient. This matters if you want Atami's town energy right outside your door.
  • Some rooms are simpler than expectedSeveral room categories appear more practical than luxurious, and some traditional-style rooms may prioritize space and view over a fully updated in-room setup. Travelers expecting a polished boutique-ryokan feel could find the annex too plain.
  • Noise sensitivity can be an issuePast guest feedback suggests that sound can travel between rooms or from above in some parts of the property. Light sleepers may want to be cautious, especially on busy dates.
  • Check-out is fairly earlyCheck-out is at 10:00, which can make the morning feel a bit rushed if you want a slow breakfast, another bath, and an easy departure. That is less generous than hotels that allow a more relaxed late-morning exit.
