Certainly, Atami New Fujiya Hotel has seen better days. As you can figure from the equipment for the entertainment hall (which is now used as a buffet room) as well as the room doors (which require physical keys), this hotel has aged tremendously. |I actually enjoyed both dinner and breakfast buffet. Dinner buffet included all-you-can-drink drink bar with draft beer, local sake, and a wide variety of soft drinks. The hotel divided the customers into a few time slots. Though I was one of the first people to enter the buffet room, I soon realized that I did not need to rush to get in. While the room became crowded at a time, the staff were quite efficient in replenishing food and cleaning up the used dishes and cups. |I was able to try 2 out of 3 onsens (11th floor and annex 3rd floor). The corridor to the annex needs to be evened out. I was afraid that some people would fall on the way to the bath facility or buffet. |The location, to me, was great. It was within 15 minutes from the beach, and the path to the beach had a lot of shops. |I liked that the hotel provided several yukata’s (size and color) to choose from to meet the customers’ needs. My group had small to large people, and everyone found his/her...

Read moreThis place is huge with an ambience of the ‘50s and 60’s! Large, dated reception area with a robe dispensary right beside the reception desk. Fairly large size bright room with 2 single beds and a spacious living section with tatami mats and 2 low-slung chairs set on the floor, night table with built-in radio!!!!! (when have I seen such a contraption last time?), but it also has a reasonably sized flat screen TV, which we never used. The bathroom has its own set of slippers and a modern electric toilet seat, but very little counter space to set things down. Breakfast is a massive affair in the huge dining hall, but with predominantly Japanese food items, however it does include scrambled eggs and passable sausages. The coffee was pretty good and strong but the “orange juice” was a sickly sweet orange lemonade – I guess just more Japanese style. This spa resort hotel has three sex-separated piping hot pools, we tried only the one on the 11th floor rooftop of the main building which was excellent. If you have the time and interest, take a walk uphill to the nearby Yuzen shrine and separate cemetery. Overall an okay hotel with very...
