Watei Kazekomichi

Looking for a private, adults-only retreat with exceptional service and views? Watei Kazekomichi is a 4-star ryokan in Atami that gets it right. Perched on a hill just 2 km from Atami Sun Beach, this boutique-style property combines privacy, comfort, and authentic Japanese hospitality.

Each room offers a peaceful atmosphere with a mix of Japanese and Western design. You’ll get sea or mountain views, a private balcony, air conditioning, and in many cases, your own private onsen. It’s ideal for first-timers or anyone who prefers bathing in privacy. The on-site hot spring and open-air bath also provide incredible views, especially if you’re visiting during cherry blossom season.

Guests love the in-room amenities: high-quality toiletries, filtered water showers, yukatas, and even complimentary drinks in the fridge (including soda, water, and beer).

The on-site restaurant serves seasonal Japanese cuisine, and meals can be taken in private booths, perfect for couples or anyone needing a quiet break after time in the city. Kaiseki dinners are beautifully prepared and frequently adjusted to dietary needs when requested in advance.

Book the dinner and breakfast option, it’s worth every yen. Also, if you’re planning a massage, reserve your spot as soon as you arrive. Slots fill up fast, especially for short stays.
