Kiunkaku

Kiunkaku began as a villa built in 1919 (Taisho 8) and was praised as one of Atami’s "three great villas."
Reborn as a ryokan in 1947 (Showa 22), it welcomed many guests as one of Atami’s representative inns and was beloved by Japan’s leading writers, including Yamamoto Yuzo, Shiga Naoya, Tanizaki Junichiro, Dazai Osamu, Funahashi Seiichi, and Takeda Taijun.
It is now open to the public as a cultural property of Atami City.

A lush garden that feels far removed from the town center. The main building (Japanese wing) and detached annex retain the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture. A Western-style building blends decorative elements and styles from Japan, China, and Europe, creating a unique atmosphere. These elegant facilities will be preserved as historical and cultural heritage for future generations.

Please visit and see it for yourself.

Atami Ropeway Just in front of the Atami Korakuen bus stop, enjoy a retro gondola and a roughly three-minute aerial stroll. When you step off the ropeway, you arrive at the summit of Mt. Hachiman, Atami’s premier observation point. From the summit terrace you can look down over Atami city. On clear days you can see the Boso Peninsula and Miura Misaki to the east, Hatsushima in the foreground to the south, and far out in the Pacific Ocean, Izu Oshima. At the tip of the observation deck is the Umi-Sora Terrace, where you can feel how close the sea and sky are. Pay attention also to the lovers’ memory spot, the Aijo Monument, the popular Umi-Sora Cafe known for its ice cream, and the Koimikuji Hall.

Atami Port Sea Fishing Facility Attention fishing enthusiasts and those thinking of trying it for the first time! At the Atami Port Sea Fishing Facility, you can enjoy fishing in a superb location with views of Atami’s streets and surrounding mountains. The breakwater is 260 m long and 14 m wide, using the inner sea (Atami Bay side) — the outer side is off-limits. In spring you can catch species such as umitanago (blackfish), rockfish (mebaru), Japanese whiting (shirogisu), mejina (black porgy), bigfin reef squid (aori-ika), red squid (akai-ika), and japanese halfbeak (urume iwashi). In winter you can expect mejina, rockfish, kasago (scorpionfish), togorou iwashi (small sardine), frigate mackerel (soda gatsuo), filefish (kawahagi), and mebaru. Black sea bream (kurodai) and red sea bream (madai) are also caught. We rent rod-and-bait sets (rod, reel, bait, tackle, bucket, water bucket, etc.), and sell foam coolers with ice for taking your catch home, so you can enjoy fishing even if you come empty-handed. Make your sea fishing debut in Atami!
