Located 10 minutes by car from Atami Station on the JR Tokai Shinkansen Line, Ryotei Ryokan Atami Koarantei is an inn that has been serving kaiseki cuisine and hospitality since 1894.

A 10-minute drive from the inn is ACAO FOREST (Akao Herb & Rose Garden), a magnificent flower paradise that takes advantage of the natural hilly terrain with a view of the ocean.

The garden consists of 13 different themed gardens, and is planted with roses from all over the world, including light-colored old roses, English roses, and vines that harmonize with their surroundings.

In January, rape blossoms and cherry blossoms herald the early arrival of spring; in April, 100,000 colorful tulips bloom; and from May to June, 4,000 roses of about 600 varieties adorn the garden in their best season.

Lots of photo ops amidst so much nature!

Next is “Hime-no-Sawa Park,” which is home to plants of all four seasons: cherry blossoms, azaleas, and rhododendrons in spring; water lilies, hydrangeas, and day lilies in summer; maples and zelkova trees in fall; and sasanquas, fuchsias, and narcissuses in winter.

The walking trail leads to the top, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Atami Sea, and there is also an athletic field that is very popular with families.

Ryotei-Ryokan Atami Koarashi-Tei is an inn of hospitality where guests can relax in a tranquil setting that has been maintained since the Meiji era, with an emphasis on the Japanese taste of the Sukiya style of architecture that makes the most of wood, a detached wooden structure, and a Japanese garden.

The Japanese garden that stretches across the grounds offers a rich sense of harmony with nature and Japanese style.

The lounge has large windows, through which you can enjoy an elegant view of the rich seasonal changes and the tasteful garden through the greenery of the trees.

In addition, the store offers a wide selection of local Shizuoka and Atami specialties as well as crafts made by Koarashi-tei that will make your trip a memorable one.

The large public baths include “Atami no Yu,” located on a hill in Atami overlooking Sagami Bay, and “Koarashi no Yu,” a clean bath with a black granite bathtub and a hiba (hinoki cypress leaf) entrance.

Atami hot springs, which boast one of the largest hot spring outputs in Japan, are composed of approximately 90% chloride and sulfate springs, and the salt content covers the skin and is said to be highly effective in retaining moisture.

This is why it is expected to be effective in improving neuralgia, cold chronic women’s diseases, and chronic skin diseases!
