Destination
Atami is Tokyo's closest proper onsen town — a 40-minute Kodama Shinkansen ride from Tokyo Station drops you directly at the harbor's edge. The town climbs steeply from a sheltered bay on the Izu Peninsula's northeast coast, with steaming sodium chloride springs that have been famous since the 8th century and were favored by both shoguns and Showa-era literary figures. Today Atami balances faded showa-retro hotels with a new generation of small luxury ryokans — Fufu, Sekaie, Kakurezato — that have made it a serious rival to Hakone for short Tokyo escape weekends. The town is compact enough to walk between hot-spring inns, the Atami Sun Beach promenade, Kinomiya Shrine's 2,000-year-old camphor tree, and the harbor restaurants serving the morning's catch from Sagami Bay.
