Hot Springs Hotels in Atami

Sanpeiso was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The ryokan beautifully preserves the atmosphere of traditional Japan while offering excellent comfort and hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and took great care of every detail throughout our stay. The room was spacious, spotless, and overlooked a peaceful garden, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. The onsen was exceptional — the hot spring water felt wonderful after a day of sightseeing, and the entire bathing area was quiet and beautifully maintained. Both dinner and breakfast were served in traditional Japanese style and were outstanding. Every dish was carefully prepared, beautifully presented, and showcased seasonal ingredients. It felt like a true cultural experience rather than simply a meal. What impressed us most was the authentic character of the ryokan. Unlike many modernized properties, Sanpeiso retains the charm and elegance of a classic Japanese inn. The combination of attentive service, excellent cuisine, serene surroundings, and high-quality hot springs made our stay unforgettable. If you are looking for an authentic ryokan experience in Atami, I highly recommend Sanpeiso. We would gladly return on our next visit to Japan.

The views are unbeatable, definitely worth a visit. The buffet was decent, not terrible. Now listen up, for those still debating between Ocean and Horizon rooms, go for Horizon! I did extensive research across various platforms, reading comments and reports, so I was prepared for the Ocean rooms to be a bit dated. However, many posts mentioned that Horizon was quite a trek from the restaurant and hot springs, making me hesitant. So, I bravely ventured into an Ocean room. But after actually staying there, the dated condition of the Ocean room surpassed my worst expectations. The room reeked of mold; every time I walked in, that musty smell hit me, making it feel like I was living with billions of mold spores [disappointed emoji]. Even though the hotel provided an air purifier in advance, the mold smell was so overwhelming that a small air purifier simply couldn't combat it. As for the distance mentioned in other posts, the Horizon rooms aren't *that* far. The walk to the 15th-floor hot springs is about the same from both, and going to the restaurant might add an extra three minutes. But the entire path offers ocean views (P6), so a leisurely stroll doesn't make the distance feel particularly long. For the sake of your respiratory health, just go for Horizon and don't overthink it! ❗️❗️❗️

The sea view from the room was stunning. It's a bit of a walk, but if you have luggage, the easiest way is to head towards the waterfront beach first, then walk along the main street. The self check-in was convenient, but if you had any issues during the process, there was really no one to ask. 😂

As a nuclear family, our main requirement when searching for a hotel was a triple room. Most Western-style accommodations that offered triple occupancy within our budget tended to provide a twin room with an extra rollaway bed. However, what sealed the deal for us with Villagiou was that they actually had rooms (Superior Triple) with three proper single beds of the same style. We booked it right away. Staying in Room 403, we found it to be a comfortably spacious room with absolutely no cramped feeling. The three beds were lined up side-by-side, which was great as our family could relax on our own beds while still chatting. The room also had a mini-fridge, which was super convenient for chilling refrigerated souvenirs like 'Atami Pudding' and 'Wasabi-zuke' that we bought early on. By the way, it easily fit 9 'Atami Puddings'! Although we didn't use it because of the rainy weather during our stay, the room also had a balcony. It was equipped with a small table, two chairs with backrests, and two pairs of slippers specifically for the balcony.

Only 9 minutes from Atami Station, no stairs all the way down the slope, check out there is a shuttle bus up the mountain. Guests staying can choose their preferred yukata style. Breakfast is a buffet form, dinner is more old-fashioned Japanese food package, the taste is quite satisfactory. The hotel has more Japanese guests than foreign guests, who may only have 3 or 4 groups. The rooms are spacious and offer tatami-laying services, the sea view is excellent. The day of the fireworks festival will also open the rooftop for guests to watch, the rooftop is completely unobstructed very clear!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip here. We stayed two nights and loved how spacious our room was. The private onsen overlooking the ocean was incredible and clean - the water seems to run continuously so it is always at the perfect temperature. The service was excellent and the staff either spoke English or used a pocket translator. Masa and his team were kind hosts explained all our food courses in delightful detail. The Japanese breakfast was incredibly good and authentic. We even got to meet the sous chef who explained some dishes and was so sweet. The dinners were multicourse and French style with truly impressive in-room service. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone!

First off, the room temperature was perfect. It was a bit chilly in Atami that day, but the hotel room was just right. Secondly, the owner was incredibly, incredibly kind! I'd left my suitcase in a locker at the station but forgot the code. With the owner's help, I managed to retrieve it through the staff. The owner helped me so much, and they were really nice. The room also offered a spectacular sea view. I've attached two photos of the sea view at the end. I'm truly grateful for such assistance while abroad.

This hotel is located halfway up the mountain. There's a bus service, but be aware that buses can often be delayed. The hotel offers a shuttle service for both check-in and check-out, and they even arranged transport for us to see the fireworks display, which was very convenient. Most of the staff speak Chinese, making communication very easy. Dinner is a set meal, and breakfast is a buffet. For the price, including meals, it offers excellent value for money. The hotel is nestled in the mountains with a pleasant environment, and you can even see the sea from afar. The only downside is that there's nothing else around, so you'll need to buy any necessities in the city beforehand.

The hotel was very clean, and the food was absolutely delicious. The hot springs were also wonderful, probably because it was a weekday and not crowded. I highly recommend getting the dinner plan. For breakfast, we were able to have it in our room, which allowed for a very relaxed start to the day. As other reviewers mentioned, the坂道 (steep hill) up to the hotel was quite something. We went by car, and at one point, we encountered another car coming down in a curving tunnel. Since uphill traffic has priority, the other car had to back up the hill to let us pass. After arriving, we enjoyed walking to the shopping street in front of the station, but on the way back to the hotel, we took a taxi from the station. Even the taxi driver radioed ahead to another taxi waiting at the top of the hill to hold their position before starting the ascent. It would be great if there were traffic lights at the top and bottom. There aren't many cars coming and going, so we just hoped there wouldn't be any oncoming traffic on our way back.

In fact, I had come to this hotel in February 2018, when the service of this hotel has been very good, and the food is also very tasty most importantly the seafood is excellent 👍 to today in February 2025 I am in the jungle this renovated hotel feels better, and the staff is more enthusiastic, regardless We wanted to go to that place they carefully told us every location and shift time 👍👍👍 Most importantly, he added a total of 14 small hot springs, three of which are saunas 🥰😍 Super great, plus see the sunrise with a terrace looking out of the beach even see the first line of morning light, next time will definitely come again 👍👍👍
