Atami Korakuen Hotel

I stayed on the 14th floor in a Western-style Room in the Tower Building.The ocean view was wide open and peaceful, and above all, the Room was spacious and spotless—I was impressed the moment I walked in.The Onsen was incredibly relaxing, and it’s large enough to unwind comfortably. I also appreciated that the changing area has lockers with keys.Since I could use Spa fuua once for free, I went after check-out.I fully enjoyed the open-air bath that feels connected to the sea, the hydrogen-rich hot spring water, and even the stone sauna. There’s also a wonderful relaxation area where you can truly take it easy.My companion and I kept saying, “We should have stayed two nights.” We weren’t sure where to stay in Atami, but choosing here was absolutely the right decision.

We chose Atami for a three-generation girls’ trip—my mother, my daughter, and me. We wanted an Accommodation with great food and ocean views from the Room, so we booked the tower building at this Hotel—and it was absolutely the right choice.Both dinner and breakfast were buffet-style with an excellent variety that satisfied all of us (in our 70s, 40s, and 20s), and the quality was outstanding. We were also impressed by the wide selection of drinks included in the free-flow plan. In particular, there wasn’t just Kirin Ichiban—there were also two kinds of the Hotel’s original craft beer, both delicious enough that I went back for several refills.Our Room was on the 11th floor of the tower building. We expected an ocean view, but we didn’t anticipate being able to enjoy Atami’s city lights at night as well—it was a wonderful surprise. All three generations of us were truly amazed by the beautiful night view. There are many places with sea views, but I think only Korakuen Hotel offers that incredible view over Atami’s cityscape. It’s a breathtaking景色 made possible by its location.The Onsen was also excellent in every way—views, water temperature, water quality, Facility features, and amenities.One more thing I personally loved was how fast the elevators were. You often hear that in large Accommodations with too few elevators—especially when nearly full—you end up waiting and it becomes stressful. I’ve experienced that at other Onsen destinations myself, but not here at all. As soon as you press the button one of three elevators arrives within seconds, and they move very quickly from the lobby floor up to the 11th floor. It made everything so comfortable.All of the Hotel staff were polite and kind as well—I genuinely felt this is a wonderful Hotel. It’s a place that makes me want to stay again next time I visit Atami.
