Atami Tamanoyu Hotel — Hotel in Atami

Visited and stayed in this ryokan because of the fireworks in August 2017 - the hotel costs double compared to normal days. If not for the fantastic view from the balcony for the fireworks - this hotel would be a disappointment - very old ryokan and even the onsen is quite old looking. There is a fish tank inside the onsen and I feel sad for the fishes swimming inside- the tank looks as old as the ryokan. Dinner and breakfast was served in the room - the food is not the best compared to the other ryokans I have stayed in. However, this ryokan is convenient in terms of location - there is family mart and plenty of restaurants nearby - Denny's restaurant is just downstairs the hotel on the right hand side. Do visit the Atami rope way and there is apparently a sex museum at the top of the rope way and the castle is nearby too. ||||Generally I find Atami a little too commercialized for my liking given the proximity to Tokyo and it gets a little too crowded. Do check out newer properties like hotel micuras and livemax if you plan to stay in Atami. They are also close to...

The Tamanoyu Hotel is right at the waterfront in a quiet neighborhood so it is a pretty neat place. The uniform for the hotel help is some kind of aloha shirt to put us in the resort mind set. All rooms are Japanese tatami style room. They provide a yukata which you’re allowed to wear throughout the hotel as well as around town. You’ll eat your ordered meals in your room. Next door is a Denny’s for those not opting for 1 or both of the breakfast/dinner offerings of the hotel. The main mineral water onsen in the basement is nice. They have an “onsen” on the 10th (top) floor which turns out to be a plastic hot water pool with I think was plain water. You get a nice view of the city and waterfront from the 10th floor. WI-FI is in lobby area only. Across the hotel is the waterfront. To the left you go to Sun beach and the main part of the city, about a 15 minute walk. To the right is the ropeway, a quick way to get up the hillside to the...
