- KAI Atami (Closed)
-
A famous Atami inn standing on a hill overlooking the ocean from the treetops. Founded in the Edo period, this inn breathes with Japanese culture, tradition, and aesthetics. Everything about it is exceptional, from the charm of the 'Hashiri-yu' hot spring and the 'Kokohi no Taki' open-air bath to the exquisite Japanese cuisine.
Local Supporter FAQ
- What are your recommendations for the Atami area (places, experiences, gourmet food)?
I recommend the two fishing ponds, 'Tokai' and 'Taikobo,' located in Ajiro in the southern part of Atami City. The best part is that you can easily drop by empty-handed in Atami, which is famous for fishing. You can catch high-quality fish such as red sea bream, horse mackerel, rock bream, and striped jack, and the fish you catch can be prepared at affiliated restaurants.
- Please secretly tell us some hidden gems that only a local would know.
Speaking of Atami, it's famous for hot springs, and 'Nikko-tei Oyu,' which Tokugawa Ieyasu is said to have visited frequently for hot spring therapy, is a hidden gem. The chloride spring water is extremely smooth, and it keeps your body warm for a long time. It used to operate as a hot spring inn, but it is now a day-trip bathing facility, and the rest area and hallways have a nostalgic, relaxing atmosphere.
- Who did you travel with and where did you go last year?
I went to Kinosaki Onsen in Hyogo Prefecture and Dogo Onsen in Ehime with my wife.
- How do you spend your days off?
On my days off, I go fishing or to day-trip hot springs.
- Is there anything you always bring with you when you travel?
As soon as I set off, I always stop by a convenience store and buy a large amount of snacks. Jagariko is my favorite.
