Ryokan highlights

A hillside Atami ryokan in Izusan known for ocean-view rooms, hot spring bathing, and a relaxed retreat feel.

Ocean-View RoomsMany rooms include balconies and broad sea views over Atami’s coastline.
Hot Spring RelaxationOnsen bathing and sauna facilities make it easy to unwind on-site.
Quiet Izusan SettingThe elevated Izusan location feels calmer than central Atami’s busier waterfront.
Free Shuttle HelpComplimentary station pickup adds convenience for guests without a car.
Family-Friendly StayPlay areas and activity options make it more suitable for families than many ryokan.
Japanese Room StyleJapanese-style rooms support a more traditional, relaxed ryokan stay experience.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsScenery and bath time are the strongest reasons to stay here. One night works well for check-in, onsen, dinner, breakfast, and a short Izusan or MOA outing; two nights only if you want a slow Atami stay without rushing back into transit.
Trip-planning verdict: Best used as a 1-night onsen retreat or relaxed 2-night Atami stop if you want sea views, baths, and an easier pace than central Atami.

Know before booking

Hillside accessThe property sits on a quiet slope above central Atami, so casual walking to station areas is not convenient.
Limited around hotelYou are choosing the ryokan setting, not a dense restaurant or shopping neighborhood.
Can feel too longMore than two nights risks overstaying unless you already plan specific Atami or nearby outings.

Should you choose this ryokan?

A scenic hillside ryokan in Izusan, Atami, best suited to travelers who want ocean views, a resort-like stay, and a few fun extras beyond the usual onsen routine. It is less ideal if you want to walk easily around town or expect every bath experience to be fed by hot spring water.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Beautiful hillside ocean viewsThe property sits high in Izusan, giving many areas an open view over Sagami Bay and a more relaxing atmosphere than staying in central Atami. It feels especially appealing for travelers who value scenery as part of the stay.
  • Footbath lounge with a real sense of arrivalIts view footbath connected to the lobby creates a distinct check-in experience, and the afternoon tea set adds a gentle, resort-style welcome. This makes the first hours of the stay feel more memorable than at a standard ryokan.
  • Fun extras beyond the usual ryokan routineThe property offers thoughtful touches such as a complimentary late-night parfait service and photo-friendly terrace spaces. These details give the stay a playful, modern character instead of a purely traditional one.
  • Strong pick for sauna loversSeveral room categories feature private barrel saunas and open-air terraces, which is a major draw if you want a wellness-focused stay with more privacy. That setup is more distinctive than a basic shared-bath ryokan.
  • Convenient if you come by car or reserve the shuttleFree parking and a reservation-based shuttle from Atami Station help offset the hillside location. It works well for travelers who want quiet surroundings without having to navigate every transfer on their own.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not ideal for walking into townThe ryokan is on a hill in Izusan rather than in the center of Atami, so sightseeing, restaurants, and the beach are not right outside the door. Guests who want to step out and explore on foot may find the location inconvenient.
  • Transport needs more planningIf you do not drive, you may need to depend on the bus or book the station shuttle in advance. That adds friction compared with staying near Atami Station.
  • Some private open-air baths are not hot spring bathsCertain rooms with private open-air baths and sauna are clearly noted as not using onsen water. If your priority is a genuine in-room hot spring experience, that detail matters.
  • Dining can feel structuredDinner service is reservation-based and meal timing is selected in advance, which may feel less flexible for spontaneous travelers. This suits planners better than guests who like to decide everything last minute.
  • Limited convenience around the propertyThere are no nearby convenience stores around the ryokan, so guests are advised to buy what they need before arrival. That can be mildly inconvenient for snacks, drinks, or forgotten essentials.
