Suitable for those who want to relax but don't want to go too far 🇯🇵 Tokyo Traveler ~ Atami

I went to Atami last summer and I was looking forward to this place as a whole! Atami is only 40 minutes from Tokyo and 20 minutes from Odawara. It is a hot spring town with a sea view. The shopping street outside the station is very charming, nostalgic and cute. The whole town is very suitable for a one-day free travel or two days and one night. ■ Must-visit Atami ・Atami Shopping Street: hot spring steamed buns, dried food, foot bath ・Kimiya Shrine: Forest Shrine + 2000-year-old tree ・MOA Museum of Art: View exhibitions and the sea on the mountainside ・Atami Castle: Although it is a fake castle, the scenery is first-class ・Qiyun Pavilion: Old-school Japanese-style architecture ■ Recommended food ・Onsen manju, alfonsino set meal, Atami pudding, old house cafe ■ Staying for one night is also great If you want to soak in a hot spring and enjoy the sea view, there are many choices of hotels in Atami, including budget hotels and luxury hotels with hot springs. ■ Special festival events ・There are several fireworks displays at sea each year, and the atmosphere is great. The Kinomiya Shrine Festival is held in mid-July, and the plum garden season is from January to March. Atami is suitable for Tokyo travelers who want to relax but don’t want to travel too far. The pace of the town is slow and the attractions are concentrated, so you can visit it in one day.
