The Experience
Atami is widely known as a hilly town, but on this private tour, you will be taken conveniently right to the front of your desired destinations without having to worry about or tire yourselves out on steep slopes.
We will begin our morning at the MOA Museum of Art, located high on a hill overlooking the ocean. Here, you are invited to immerse yourselves in world-class masterpieces of Japanese art, admire the stunning contemporary architecture, and take in spectacular ocean views directly from the exhibition halls and expansive windows.
Next, we will visit Kinomiya Shrine, a famous "power spot" home to a sacred camphor tree over 2,000 years old. Pray for good fortune and prosperity at Kinomiya Shrine. Historically known as Kinomiya Daimyojin, the shrine houses the guardian deity of Atami and has long been revered as a sacred place for bringing good luck and fortune.
Afterward, enjoy a sweeping 360-degree panorama of the entire city from Atami Castle. Inside, the castle features exhibits explaining the differences between various Japanese castles. Visitors can rent Edo-period costumes for photos or join a fun mystery-solving puzzle game, while the basement houses an arcade center and an ukiyo-e art exhibition. Standing 100 meters above sea level, the top floor offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Atami City and Sagami Bay. The area surrounding the castle is filled with cherry trees that bloom from late March to early April, and during the summer, it serves as a prime spot for the annual fireworks displays.
To conclude our journey, we will stroll through Atami Ginza Shopping Street, a neighborhood that retains a nostalgic Showa-era retro atmosphere. You will have free time to sample popular local sweets or relax in a traditional-style café at your own pace.
