Experience of the stay
Within walking distance from the station.
In retro Atami, which prides itself on its Showa atmosphere, there is a lovely hotel that seems to be a bit ahead of its time.
I thought the entrance lobby and the logo outside used the same color, creating a clean and inviting brand color.
The room was also full of functionality. I was surprised that the dresser mirror turned into a smart display (what do you call it?), which you could use like a PC—I'm from the Showa era, after all.
The staff were very friendly and I was able to spend my time comfortably.
Experiences during the trip
When you think of Atami, the shopping street comes to mind! However, being from the Showa era, I was taught, "You should not eat while walking!" so I was satisfied just watching everyone else eat.
(I also had a bit of a decreased appetite due to the heat)
The Akao Forest Garden was hot, but I was healed by the abundance of greenery; it is well maintained, and I would love to visit multiple times during the seasons of blooming flowers.
The night view from the high ground was a scenic spot typical of a resort.
The mixed fry set meal I had in the basement of a super retro building in front of the station had the best cost-performance. The horse mackerel fry was exquisite!
