Experience of the stay
The "Hotel New Akao," where I stayed as a base for sightseeing in Atami, was truly the best!
🌊 Luxury of an Ocean View
From the room, the endless blue sea spread out before me. The view of the sunrise reflecting on the sea surface was so beautiful that I lost track of time just gazing at it. Furthermore, in the ocean view lounge, coffee and soft drinks were available for unlimited refills. Spending time while feeling the sea breeze was exceptional.
🍽️ French Dinner & Local Breakfast
Thanks to the reservation benefits from HafH, I enjoyed a French course for dinner. Both the appearance and taste were artistic, and I was moved by each unique dish. For breakfast, the menu centered around local specialties from Shizuoka and Odawara. The simple flavors that utilized the quality of the ingredients soothed my body like a gentle embrace.
♨️ Recommendation to Experience All the Hot Springs
There are 3 hot springs in the building, and I conquered all of them. Each spring has different water quality and scenery, making each one worth thoroughly enjoying! In particular, the open-air bath at night offered breathtaking views that felt refreshing to my soul.
This hotel offers special moments that make me want to visit again!
Experiences during the trip
During my trip to Atami, I enjoyed leisurely food walks in the beach and shopping streets, and the casual time spent walking along the beach was incredibly pleasant. Walking while feeling the open air and sea breeze was truly a healing moment.
Also, after climbing a small slope from the hotel I stayed at, I reached Atami Castle in about a 20-minute walk. At Atami Castle, there are displays where you can learn about the local history, making it enjoyable as a tourist attraction. What surprised me further was that there is a game center in the basement that you can play for free! It is filled with nostalgic retro games and fun attractions, which made me lose myself in the joy of childhood.
The view from Atami Castle is also one of the highlights. The sight of Atami's townscape and the blue sea from the high ground is breathtaking, so beautiful that I forgot the time while gazing at it. Not only are there exhibitions inside the castle but also many photogenic spots, making it perfect for creating memories. I had a wonderful time that I will remember, enjoying both sightseeing and relaxation!
