Would you like to try a refreshing totono experience?🧖‍♀️

At the spectacular outdoor sauna SHIMODACCI SAUNA, where you can enjoy Shirahama’s sea right before your eyes,
we will hold a totono trial on January 11 and 12🌿✨
(Please check the images for event details.)
You can enjoy the sauna at a much better rate than usual, and savor the hot springs too😌💭💙
Seats are limited, so we recommend booking in advance⚠️☝️

I actually tried it myself before, and the outdoor cool-down while gazing at the sea felt incredibly good…
Even sauna beginners will think, “This is addictive!”✨
I wrote about my experience on my blog, so please give it a read👇

Happy New Year
This year is the Year of the Horse (Hinoe-Uma) and the auspicious eighth year of Reiwa, a year of expanding opportunities.
Let us step forward toward the new era one step at a time.
I humbly ask for your continued support this year as well.

Happy New Year!
This year I again photographed the first sunrise from the waterfront park. There was no wind and it was not as cold as in past years, but a warm layer of clouds on the horizon kept the sky dull and dim even after the scheduled sunrise time of 6:51.
Around 7:05 the edges of the clouds began to glow, and just after 7:20 the sun finally appeared!
As every year, many residents and tourists gathered early at the waterfront park to watch the first sunrise of Reiwa 8.

May Reiwa 8 bring you a year full of happiness.
We appreciate your continued support of Atami Onsen this year as well.

Please visit Izu Shimoda Onsen in 2026 (^○^)
