Local Guide FAQ

What do you recommend in Atami area (location, Experience, gourmet)?: When you come to Atami, please take a walk along the shopping street in front of the station and the Atami Ginza shopping street! The retro Showa-era stores, dried fish stores, and newly built fashionable cafes are a unique mix of eras that can only be seen in Atami.
The most famous event in Atami is the Atami Marine Fireworks Festival, which is held more than 10 times a year and has a history of more than 60 years, not only in summer but all year round.

Please sneak in some hole-in-the-wall places that you know because you live there.: Haco Cafe is a hideaway cafe located at the top of the stairs of a building in the Heiwa-dori Meitengai shopping district in front of Atami Station. You can enjoy a relaxing space, delicious coffee, and homemade cakes, and spend a leisurely time here, which is hard to believe that you are in a busy shopping arcade. Ordering by purchasing a meal ticket from the ticket machine is also a bit special.

Where did you travel to last year and with whom?: I went to Kyoto with nine friends from my school days. I have very good memories of renting out an old private house in the castle town and spending time there as a family. We also took many great pictures at the "Keage Incline," a former railroad track near Nanzenji Temple!

What do you do on your days off?: I like to watch soccer games and visit them often. I enjoy visiting stadiums around Japan to eat stadium food and collect towel scarves.

Is there anything you always take with you on a trip?: I take a less bulky bag like an eco-bag with me so that I don't buy too many souvenirs on the way back from my trip and they don't fit in my bag.
