Fodor's Expert Review Atami Taikanso
7–1 Hayashigaoka-cho, Atami, Shizuoka-ken, 413-0031, Japan
The views of the sea must have been the inspiration for Yokoyama Taikan, the Japanese artist who once owned this villa that is now a traditional Japanese inn with exquisite furnishings and individualized service. The spacious rooms are classically Japanese, with floor-to-ceiling windows. The prices are high, but bear in mind that they include a multicourse dinner of great artistry, served in your room, and breakfast the next morning. There are also indoor and outdoor hot-springs baths. The inn is a 10-minute walk west from Atami Station.
PROS
- seaside rooms have beautiful views
- luxurious traditional experience
- impeccable service
CONS
- eating dinner may take most of your evening
- easy to get lost in the complex layout of the hotel
- one of Atami's more expensive options
