12 Fun Things to do in Atami, Japan

I went to Atami last week. Atami is a city in the Shizuoka prefecture, famous for their hot springs. It’s located a convenient 1 hour shinkansen (bullet train) ride from Tokyo, so it’s a perfect day trip. Atami has been a popular hot springs town since the 8th century, noted for its hot summers and surprisingly short winters (along with the beach and the variety of natural onsen hot springs).
