Jukkokutoge (Jukkoku Pass)

Jukkoku Pass is said to have gotten its name because, long ago, you could see ten provinces—Izu, Sagami, Suruga, Tōtōmi, Kai, Awa, Kazusa, Shimōsa, Musashi, Shinano—and five islands (Ōshima, Niijima, Kozushima, Miyakejima, Toshima). From the summit of Mt. Hikaneyama, you can look north to Mt. Fuji, west to Suruga Bay, and east to Sagami Bay.

Over the years many artists have tried to capture this panorama with a brush, but tradition says the scale and beauty defeated them.

A cable car runs to and from the summit. You can also reach it by trekking from Himenosawa Park in about an hour and a half, enjoying the natural surroundings.

In spring azaleas bloom in profusion, summer brings a pleasant cool breeze, autumn waves fields of silver grass, and winter welcomes you with the warm sunshine of the highlands.

Omiyanomatsu Statue of Kanichi and Omiya Since the Meiji era many celebrated authors lived here and wrote masterpieces in Atami. Among them, the most famous is Konjiki Yasha (The Golden Demon), a novel by Ozaki Koyo that was serialized intermittently in Yomiuri Shimbun and Shin Shosetsu from 1897 for six years. The novel inspired the pine known as Omiyanomatsu and a popular song that begins "Strolling along Atami’s beach…" Together they spread like wildfire, and the protagonists Kanichi and Omiya captured the nation’s imagination as if they were real people. The Statue of Kanichi and Omiya and Omiyanomatsu stand along the coastal national road and draw many visitors as a photo spot. Every year on January 17 (the tearful parting day of Kanichi and Omiya), the Ozaki Koyo Festival is held at this site.

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
