While Japan boasts many famous hot spring destinations, Atami is undeniably one of the most renowned in the realm of hot spring resorts. Nestled in the far eastern reaches of Shizuoka Prefecture, this region’s proximity to Tokyo and excellent access via the Shinkansen have made it a cherished destination for Japanese travelers.
Although Atami once suffered a decline in popularity, with aging hot spring facilities and abandoned sites dotting its landscape, recent years have seen a revival. The area now features attractions aimed at younger visitors, a vibrant shopping district, and a revitalized coastline.
Beyond its appeal as a hot spring and resort destination, Atami is famous for being a beloved location for Japanese literary figures, including Osamu Dazai and Naoya Shiga. The area has preserved many historical buildings and landmarks.
This video takes you on a walking tour of Atami, starting at Atami Station. You’ll explore the station’s shopping district, visit the venerable Kinomiya Shrine, home to a more than 2,100-year-old sacred tree, and even see the former residence of the famed novelist Shoyo Tsubouchi, known as “Soshisha.” All the way to Atami’s beautiful beach, this tour showcases the multifaceted charm of Atami.
