【熱海日帰り旅】日帰りでどこまで楽しめる？熱海で朝から遊び尽くしてきた！人気観光地を満喫レポ

Today we came to Atami Station early in the morning! It’s just past 8 AM now. Since it’s a weekday morning, there are hardly any tourists yet. Thinking about how you can get here on a single train from Tokyo via the Tokaido Line, I wondered if this could be quite enjoyable as a day trip, so here I am! The foot bath in front of the station, which would normally be crowded, is empty and available for unlimited use! This is such a rare opportunity, so I’ll soak my feet before starting the journey! This foot bath is called “Ieyasu-no-yu.” It’s been 400 years since Tokugawa Ieyasu visited Atami for hot spring therapy, and this was installed in 2004 to commemorate that. It uses natural hot spring water at 41 degrees Celsius. According to the official website, the foot bath opens at 9 AM, but even now before 8:30, warm spring water is already flowing. I realized after getting in that I hadn’t brought anything to dry off with – that would have been quite a predicament! The moment I put my feet in the hot water, I was startled. Good thing I brought a thick handkerchief since it’s hot today! Anyway, I’ve already left my mark in Atami, so let’s start sightseeing! First, I’ll walk through Nakamise-dori in front of Atami Station toward Sun Beach. Nakamise-dori is a traditional shopping street right in front of the station. True to a tourist destination, souvenir shops and food stalls line the street. Since it’s still early morning, most shops have their shutters down and it’s quiet. During the day it’s probably bustling with foot traffic, but at this time, you can leisurely stroll around like taking a walk. The street next to Nakamise-dori is called “Heiwa-dori” and also has souvenir shops and restaurants. Since they’re adjacent, you’d want to explore both when shopping for souvenirs. It retains a Showa-era atmosphere while being beautifully maintained. There are many benches, making it easy for food tasting as you walk. Even though the shops aren’t open yet, you can feel the unique atmosphere of a hot spring resort, and I’m actually getting quite excited! Just wandering around gives you that extraordinary feeling – that’s the charm of tourist destinations. Having passed through Nakamise-dori, I’ll continue toward Sun Beach. From the end of Nakamise-dori to the ocean is less than a 10-minute walk. Atami Sun Beach comes into view! Just seeing the palm trees lined up instantly elevates that resort feeling! Plus, since it’s morning, there are hardly any people, making it easy to explore. The promenade along the beach is beautifully maintained and feels wonderful just to walk on. When I checked the guidebook beforehand, it said “the nighttime illumination is famous,” but morning at Sun Beach is pretty great too! I thought I’d just take a quick look at the ocean and head to the next destination, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the beach. Walking along the coastline, I discovered the “Moon Terrace” monument nearby! This is apparently famous as a lovers’ sanctuary, but it’s quiet with no one around this morning. Cruisers lined up next to Moon Terrace… Really makes you feel the wealth gap in society! If you came here with your partner, you’d be confronted with wealth inequality right next to you… Well, I’m overthinking it. Since I’m here, I’ll continue walking along the coastal road to my next destination, “Kiunkaku.” The coastal road is really beautiful to walk along! You can see the ocean while enjoying Atami’s characteristic streetscape – it gives you that traveling feeling. Along the way there are small bridges and parks with blooming flowers, making photography so enjoyable that you lose track of time. Before I knew it, I’d used much more time than planned. Sun Beach was better than expected, so I ended up lingering there. But these kinds of detours and unexpected discoveries are what make travel worthwhile, right? I’ve arrived at Kiunkaku! This is Atami’s famous architecture built in the Taisho era. Kiunkaku is a designated tangible cultural property of Atami City and is counted among the “Three Great Villas of Atami.” The unique exterior and interior combining Japanese and Western styles are truly spectacular, and it’s often used as a filming location for dramas and movies. Famous literary figures like Dazai Osamu and Tanizaki Jun’ichiro also visited here. Just walking through the building makes you feel like you’ve entered a story. Both inside and outside the building, the scenery everywhere is beautiful – I couldn’t stop taking photos. Personally, I was really drawn to the tatami atmosphere and washroom of the “Phoenix Room.” And the Roman bath became a place I loved so much that my excitement went through the roof! Probably because I could really feel something like the air of history. I could so realistically feel the atmosphere of that era that I found myself imagining how people of that time spent their days here! The garden and covered walkways also have an outstanding atmosphere. It’s a spot I can recommend not only to people who love history and architecture, but also to those who love photography and the world of cinema. Since there were few people, I could leisurely take photos in every room, which was great. Since I was there, I also stopped by the tea room inside. It was a retro space with a very calming atmosphere. Both the interior and the view from the windows are superb. I ordered a set of matcha and Japanese sweets. The sweet was “mikan jelly.” The cold matcha and jelly tasted ordinary, but the atmosphere of the shop was so nice that it was very soothing. With peaceful time flowing by, it’s the perfect place when you’re tired from walking around sightseeing. It was also nice that there were few other customers. This tea shop is located at the place you reach last after going around Kiunkaku, but most people seemed to pass by without stopping. After thoroughly enjoying Kiunkaku, I walked to Atami Ginza and arrived at “Bonnet”! “Bonnet” is a long-established coffee shop founded in 1952, beloved by locals for many years. It’s famous for hamburgers and has many fans among tourists too. At first it was full and I couldn’t get in… But when I tried again after waiting a bit, I successfully got in! The interior has a Showa-era American style atmosphere that feels somehow nostalgic. The customers range from local regulars to tourist groups of ladies to foreigners. The shop owner was chatting with locals – it had that community-rooted coffee shop atmosphere. There are even ashtrays on the tables – it’s a smoking-friendly shop, which is rare these days. Though no one was smoking. Of course, I ordered the famous hamburger. It’s been an unchanged menu item for 70 years. First, just a hot empty coffee cup was brought out, and I thought “Huh?” Then they brewed it right at the table – that was their style. It was hot coffee with good acidity and bitterness. I could drink it black, but not really, so when I added a little milk, it became much more to my taste. And here it comes – the hamburger! The vegetables were arranged on the side, and you assemble it yourself. The buns were hot, and the vegetables I added were crispy. The sauce had a ginger-like flavor – a different deliciousness from chain stores. The potatoes were also fluffy, and overall it felt simple but carefully made. It’s like enjoying a handmade burger in a Showa retro space. This atmosphere and taste could become habit-forming. Next time I come, I want to try other menu items too. After filling up at Bonnet, I’ll head to Kinomiya Shrine via Atami Ginza! Atami Ginza is the street right in front of Bonnet. There are shops and cafes for tourists, but it doesn’t have as lively an atmosphere as Nakamise-dori or Heiwa-dori near the station. There are restaurants scattered here and there, but honestly it doesn’t have that “this is it!” tourist street feeling. Except for the famous Atami Pudding Shop No. 2, it felt like just an ordinary shopping street. The foot traffic wasn’t that heavy either. But the pudding shop seemed popular as expected – that place alone was thriving. Though I’m tempted by the pudding, I just ate at Bonnet, so I’ll skip it here. After passing through Atami Ginza and climbing a big hill, I arrived at “Kinomiya Shrine,” famous as a power spot! Kinomiya Shrine is a nationally famous ancient shrine with over 1,300 years of history. Within the grounds is a great camphor tree said to be over 2,000 years old, and it’s believed that walking around this sacred tree will “extend your life by one year” and “make wishes come true.” The approach is full of greenery and has a wonderful atmosphere! The shrine itself is beautifully maintained, and it’s unusual to have modern stylish cafes and rest areas. The main hall is simple but has an elegant, calming space. It’s a shrine beloved not only by tourists but also by locals. Proceeding beyond the main hall, there’s the 2,000-year-old sacred tree! It was truly impressive. The thick, twisted trunk and the power of something that has lived for hundreds of years can be felt just by approaching it. When you actually face it, you’re overwhelmed by its size and presence. All the tourists were taking photos or gazing intently at the tree – the air felt different just in this spot. Going up the small path next to the sacred tree, there was a cafe spot in another atmospheric location. It’s a wooden deck seating area surrounded by trees where you can rest while blending into nature. This time at the cafe, I tried the matcha and mizu-mochi (water rice cake) set. The translucent mizu-mochi looks refreshingly cool, has sweet bean paste inside, and has the most amazing bouncy texture! The matcha was also rich, and its slight bitterness paired perfectly with the sweet mizu-mochi. Being able to slowly savor Japanese sweets in a quiet space while feeling the sunlight filtering through trees felt incredibly luxurious! Forgetting the hustle and bustle of the city, relaxing peacefully in the forest… And right next to it is the 2,000-year-old sacred tree. This is truly a power spot cafe time! Honestly, I liked it so much that I’d want to come back just for this cafe and sweets! Next, I’m heading to the massive art museum “MOA Museum of Art” in Atami. Since buses to MOA Museum of Art run from Atami Station, I’ll return to Atami Station first. Since Kinomiya Station is nearby, I’ll take the train to Atami Station. It’s the next station, but trains are infrequent, so if you’re following a similar route, be sure to check the timetable in advance. And Kinomiya Station also has an Atami Pudding shop! This was actually one of my objectives. There are about 15 minutes until the train comes, so let’s try the famous Atami Pudding! Atami Pudding is Atami’s new standard sweet. Each shop has limited menu items. I ordered the Kinomiya Station limited “kogashi pudding” (burnt pudding)! Being served in a milk bottle is Atami Pudding’s characteristic. Just adding the included caramel sauce almost makes it spill over. I have to be careful putting the spoon in too… Mmm, delicious! The pudding itself is very smooth with a good milk richness. The bottle shape is cute too – it makes you want to take photos! However, since the bottle neck is narrow, scooping it all out cleanly was a bit nerve-wracking. That thrilling feeling is also part of what makes it feel like a travel sweet. I’m back! Atami Station! It’s past 1 PM now. There are more people now, and it’s completely taken on the appearance of a tourist destination. The foot bath that was empty this morning is now packed with people. Let’s head to the bus stop right away. …Hm? …Wait? It was unexpectedly closed for the day! This was quite a shock… Actually, I was most looking forward to MOA Museum of Art… So I have no choice but to buy souvenirs on Nakamise-dori and head home… And so, here I am at MOA Museum of Art! Wait, what? After that, I realized it’s surprisingly easy to come here casually for a day trip, so I came to MOA Museum of Art on another day. So only the MOA Museum of Art part was filmed on a different day. MOA Museum of Art is a large private museum that opened in 1982. It houses many national treasures and important cultural properties, focusing on Japanese and East Asian art. Not just the exhibits, but the museum’s architectural design, spectacular views, tea rooms, cafes and restaurants make it attractive with many highlights! The building is on a mountaintop and offers a scenic spot with panoramic views of Atami city and the ocean. Even the elevator to the exhibition rooms is somehow mystical. The exhibition room doors are huge automatic doors fit for giants, the glass-walled open lobby – it has a different kind of excitement from ordinary museums. The exhibition rooms are spacious, bright and beautiful, and to put it crudely, you think “this must have cost a lot of money!” On this day they had a “Living National Treasures Exhibition,” and I was overwhelmed by the amazing traditional crafts. Not just viewing the exhibits, I also visited the “Tea Room Ippaku-an.” I had a set of matcha and mizu-yokan (sweet bean jelly). It’s been a while since I had yokan, but it’s delicious. I forgot how rich the flavor was. MOA Museum of Art has 5 dining establishments – 2 cafes, 1 soba restaurant, 1 restaurant, and 1 Japanese cuisine place. I had my meal at “Japanese Restaurant Hana-no-chaya.” I ordered the “Chef’s Special Hamburg Steak.” I also ordered matcha pudding and apple juice. They use apples grown at the museum, so I couldn’t help but order it. The tea room right before had stimulated my appetite somewhat too. The hamburg steak came on a hot iron plate. The meat juices sizzled out, and the demi-glace sauce felt more like something you could gulp down rather than being thick. Thanks to that, even when coating the vegetables and potatoes in sauce, it wasn’t heavy and was easy to eat. The hamburg steak had a solid meat flavor, and eating it mixed with the soft-boiled egg was also delicious. The matcha pudding had a unique flavor. Probably mint? That gave it a different flavor from typical matcha taste. Also, the matcha pudding was topped with sweet bean paste, cream, and berries. Eating different combinations gives you different deliciousness with each bite. You can enjoy the pudding with various flavors until the end by changing up the taste. After eating, I went to the nearby bamboo grove… I wondered what “bamboo grove entrance” meant and went to check, but there really was just a bamboo grove. It’s quite a descent… and you have to climb back up to return, so it was just tiring. I think you don’t need to go to the bamboo grove. Only go if you love bamboo. After seeing, drinking, and eating, MOA Museum of Art is reaching its finale. The last place I reached was this cafe. Actually, from the entrance lobby, you could look down at this cafe from above, and I’d been curious about it since entering the museum. I just finished eating, but since the view is so good, I decided to stop by. A great view overlooking the ocean and Atami city. It has that “end of the journey” feeling and is quite moving. MOA Museum of Art – even though it was on a different day, I’m glad I made the effort to come. It exceeded expectations. Very satisfying. Not only for art lovers, but even for people who don’t usually go to museums, you can enjoy exhibitions, scenery, and gourmet food all at once, making it perfect for tourism. I’m back at Atami Station. Finally, let’s browse Nakamise-dori and Heiwa-dori looking for souvenirs. Nakamise-dori is a traditional shopping street stretching straight from the station front, lined with souvenir shops, restaurants, and dried fish stores. In the morning most shops were closed and it was empty, but in the afternoon people increased and it became quite lively. But it doesn’t have that overwhelming feeling like Kamakura’s Komachi-dori where you can’t move forward due to crowds – it’s just the right amount of people where you can walk leisurely and enter any shop you like. It’s nice that every shop is easy to enter. There are benches scattered around, and it’s set up to make food tasting easy – I thought that was nice. It was impressive how many people were eating as they walked. The souvenirs are well-stocked, perfect for final shopping time of the trip. This kind of “leisurely browsing time right before going home” becomes part of the travel afterglow and is surprisingly what I like most. Starting early morning in Atami, beginning with the foot bath in front of the station – today’s day trip really covered many spots and was a completely satisfying day! Atami is famous as a hot spring resort, but when you actually walk around, everything is packed together – ocean, shopping streets, historic buildings, art museums, gourmet food and sweets – you can have a very fulfilling trip even as a day trip. Even though it’s a tourist destination, it doesn’t get so crowded that it’s hard to walk, and having that relaxed atmosphere is also part of Atami’s charm. Plus being able to get here on a single Tokaido Line train from the Tokyo area is great. I think Atami day trips are definitely worth it. I think many people take day trips to Kamakura or Enoshima, but Atami day trips can definitely be added as an option. Atami has become a spot I’d want to casually visit again. And that’s it for this video. Thank you for joining me on this journey to the very end today.
