Atami Ginza Shopping Street

Once the bustling heart of Atami, the Ginza Street drew many visitors to the town center.
At the corner of the shopping street’s entrance intersection stands the Atami Chamber of Commerce & Industry, housed in a building that operated as a bank until 1975. Its solid, retro façade preserves the atmosphere of that era.

Stroll down the Ginza Shopping Street and you’ll encounter sights unchanged from the past: dried fish hanging under the eaves, a coffee shop still running in Showa-era style, and long-established wagashi confectioners.

Recently, the street has welcomed restaurants popular for seafood, cafes using local ingredients, sweets shops such as Atami Pudding, matcha at Atami Satori Main Store, the premium Mont Blanc shop Silk kiito, and gelato shops. 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

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. ※The “Sky Dog Run” reopened on November 11, 2023!

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. Address / 604-10 Izusan, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture 413-0002 Phone / 0557-81-2631 (Izusan Onsen Tourist Association) Access / From JR atami station take a bus bound for Izusan or Yugawara for about 5 minutes, get off at Aioibashi Bridge, then walk about 10 minutes Parking / None Note: This is not a bathing facility
