Hashiriyu

Perched above the Sagami Sea, Hashiriyu is a rare horizontal cave spring in Japan and is counted among the country’s three great ancient springs.
Discovered about 1,300 years ago, it was named Hashiriyu—literally “running hot spring”—because the water gushes from the mountains and seems to run toward the coast.

As Minamoto no Sanetomo wrote, “The swift spring that issues south of Mount Izu-no-Kuni is a sign from the gods,” and until the Meiji era the spring was revered as the sacred water of Izusan Shrine.

From a cave about 5 meters deep, water at 70°C still wells up at 170 liters per minute, creating a mysterious scene around the source.

Atami Ginza Shopping Street Once the bustling heart of Atami, Ginza Street drew many tourists to the city center. At the corner of the shopping street’s entrance is the Atami Chamber of Commerce & Industry, housed in a building that operated as a bank until 1975. The solid, retro structure still preserves the charm of that era. Strolling down Ginza Shopping Street, you’ll encounter sun-dried fish hanging from eaves, a coffee shop still operating in its Showa-era form, and long-established wagashi confectioners—scenes of Japan that remain unchanged. Recently, the street has welcomed seafood-focused restaurants and cafes using local ingredients, sweets shops such as Atami Pudding, matcha specialty Atami Satori Main Store, the premium Mont Blanc shop Silk kiito, and gelato stores. Guesthouses offering interaction between locals and travelers have also opened, giving the street a renewed, renovated feel. Address / 413-0013 Ginzacho, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture Access / About a 20-minute walk from atami station

Kinomiya Shrine Kinomiya Shrine has long been revered as a deity of good fortune and auspicious beginnings. Beside the main hall stands a sacred camphor tree designated a National Natural Monument, said to be about 2,100 years old with a trunk circumference of 24 meters. It is famous as a power spot. Legend holds that circling the trunk once adds a year to your life, and many visitors pray here for longevity, healing, and good health to share in the tree’s vitality. It is also said that those with a wish should quietly circle the tree without telling anyone; doing so helps clarify the wish. The tree is lit up at night, offering different expressions in the morning, daytime, and evening. The annual grand festival takes place each year from July 14 to 16. Address／43-1 Nishiyama-cho, Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture 413-0034 Phone／0557-82-2241 Access／About 15 minutes by bus from JR Atami Station toward Motohakone or Nishiyama, then get off at Kinomiya Jinja-mae.
