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.

  • 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
