It is a place where many popular spots are concentrated, such as tropical beaches, onsen, eating out in the shopping district in front of the station, and art museums.

"THE HIRAMATSU HOTELS & RESORTS Atami" is a small hotel managed by "Hiramatsu", which operates high-end restaurants nationwide. All 13 guest rooms have an ocean view and a onsen spring bath, so you can spend plenty of quiet time alone.

The onsen bath in the guest room is an open space that is integrated with the room. If you open the window of the terrace, it becomes a semi-open-air bath, so you can relax without worrying about the weather. I'm also happy that it has a stylish atmosphere.

The restaurant has a Japanese-modern atmosphere in the Sukiya-zukuri style. It is a wonderful space where the panoramic ocean view matches like a Japanese painting. Especially at dusk, it's very romantic.

The head chef is a chef who has worked at Hiramatsu's main store and Paris store in France. You can enjoy exquisite French cuisine only available here, using ingredients unique to Atami, such as fresh seafood from Sagami Bay. Gourmet couples should be very satisfied ♪

“ATAMI Sekaie” is located halfway up Mt. Izu, which has been a onsen resort since ancient times and is dotted with shrines. All guest rooms are stylishly decorated and come with an ocean view and an onsen hot spring bath. A suite or penthouse with a separate bedroom and living room will make your stay even more special.

From the open-air bath on the terrace, you can see Sagami Bay spreading beyond the mountains. The view of the ocean, mountains, sky, and the majestic nature up close is truly luxurious. Taking a bath in the morning is also recommended.

After enjoying your time in your room, why not visit the open-air Konpeki Terrace together? What spreads out below is the horizon that stretches far into the distance. It is an extraordinary space where you can relax with a drink in one hand.

In the evening, enjoy some adult time at the hotel's bar, Lounge Lookout. In addition to carefully selected whiskeys and cocktails that you can order to your liking, they also offer alcohol-free wine and champagne. Enjoy a relaxing evening gazing at the candle flames and smelling the ocean. All drinks are also available as room service, so you can enjoy a drink in the comfort of your room.

Further south from Atami on the Izu Peninsula is the "Higashi Izu" area. It is dotted with majestic natural spots, such as uniquely shaped volcanoes and quay walls created by eruptions. The recommended hotel also has a superb view overlooking the sea from a hill. The area is also home to onsen resorts such as Ito onsen, Atagawa onsen, and Inatori onsen, so it is perfect for couples who want to enjoy onsen.

Hotel Futari-Koreyo, which stands on a hill overlooking Hatsushima Island, is a private hotel with rooms of about 100 square meters and fully equipped with panoramic baths with free-flowing hot springs. From the indoor deck called "In-Garden", you can look out over the ocean below.

The meal room is a private room facing the bamboo forest. Unlike the spacious guest rooms, this one has a calm atmosphere like a hideout. I'm happy to be able to enjoy different tastes.

Japanese cuisine, which is gorgeous in both appearance and quantity, is made with four luxurious local ingredients: spiny lobster, alfonsino, abalone, and wagyu beef. It is rare to find an inn where you can enjoy such a wide range of dishes at once. The conversation between the two should be naturally bouncy ♪

You can monopolize the luxurious space with a pure Japanese-style room with a garden and an open-air bath with a free-flowing private source.

The taste of the open-air bath differs from room to room. For example, this is the cypress bath in the guest room "Kyara". You can see the unobstructed view of the sea and the sky from the splendid open-air bath, which is hard to believe that it is exclusive to your room. It will surely be the best memory for both of us♡

Guests staying in guest rooms with garden open-air baths also enjoy a special dinner menu that is one rank above the rest. You can enjoy a variety of gorgeous seafood from the Izu sea, such as lobster and sea bream.
