Atami Season Hotel
--- The property is not yet rated
Atami Season Hotel sits within walking distance of Atami’s shoreline and local stations, offering straightforward access to the town’s seaside promenade and nearby attractions. The property presents a mix of Western and Japanese-style rooms designed for families and small groups, and several room types include an open-air bath. Its position in Atami makes it a practical base for visitors exploring the coastal town and nearby parks, with public transport links allowing day trips around the Izu coastline and inland hot-spring towns.
Room configurations range from twin and triple units to traditional Japanese-style rooms with futons, plus a specific “Japanese-Western” option that features an open-air bath attached to the room; these room-level baths provide a private soaking experience for guests who select them. Public bathing facilities are also available on site, so the property functions both as a ryokan with onsen in Atami, Shizuoka and as a choice where guests can opt for an in-room open-air soak. Free Wi‑Fi is provided throughout and many rooms include en-suite facilities to suit mixed travel parties.
On-site amenities include a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, a communal lounge and parking for guests. Practical policies note that the hotel asks guests to advise expected arrival time and that access to public baths may be restricted for those with visible tattoos; check-in generally begins mid-afternoon and check-out is late morning. The accommodation combines traditional bathing options with family-friendly room layouts, making it suitable for travelers seeking a ryokan with private onsen in Shizuoka while remaining close to Atami’s main sights.

Negative Reviews
Air-conditioning/temperature issues
Multiple guests reported that room temperature was uncomfortably warm and that air-conditioning was difficult to operate or slow to cool the room.
Limited buffet variety and amenities
Several reviewers felt the buffet lacked variety (missing or limited sashimi, fewer breakfast items) and noted fewer room amenities than expected.
Aging facilities and occasional cleanliness problems
Some guests observed dated parts of the property and specific cleanliness issues such as dust in vents, sticky flooring in the large bath, or damaged cabinetry.
Public bath/view/layout limitations
Comments included disappointment that the large public bath lacked an outdoor/rotenburo option or scenic windows, plus some rooms faced buildings so views were limited; some rooms had unit baths rather than larger bath areas.
Parking and shuttle capacity / operational concerns
