Hotel New Sagamiya

Atami

You notice the sweet smell of tatami as you enter the room---very traditional Japanese style spacious room with a beautiful ocean view.  We stayed here for two nights and got up early to see the sunrise in which the sun rises over the horizon.  At night you can see the water reflecting the bright moon light and creating a "moon road."  

Spa was great.  Other than the big baths, they have three smaller free open-air baths which are available to those who are staying there.  When you use it, you can lock it up and have it all to yourself.  It is great for couples and families. We listened to the waves as we dipped in the warm onsen up on the top floor---so relaxing.

Food was delicious.  They can cater to some of your needs in terms of likes, dislikes, food allergies, etc.  We decided to have every meal in our room, so it was private and comfortable.  You can choose to do so although it costs a bit more.  Dinner and breakfast are served as very traditional Japanese style.  Dinner is a big course meal.  They did serve us different fish and other delicacies for two nights we stayed, but that was probably the limit for us since it was a lot of food.

We would love to stay at New Sagamiya again.  It's proximity to Tokyo is a big plus.  I highly recommend this place as a weekend getaway from a city.

Beautiful Ocean View

Perfectly located on the Ocean beach, New Sagamiya is offering a classicl set of Japanese resort services: natural spa, nice rooms is borh - European and Japanese styles, authentic Japanese cusine, karaoke bar, etc. 
Sleeping ina confortable bed with the sound of the Ocean, after having a Japanese dinner and bath in a natural hot spring, makes you relaxed and recharged much over 100%. I definitely can reccomend this resort as a perfect place for having relaxation for body and soul ))

Wonderful Japanese Onsen Resort

I wanted a quick overnight trip to an onsen to relax from a busy mix of a business and pleasure trip.   I had been to an onsen in Hakone before, but I chose Atami because it was much closer by Shinkansen to tokyo and fit better with my busy schedule.   
First tip, Definitely go on a Monday or midweek. Onsens in general are pretty busy and packed on the weekends. So I was able to check in at 2pm and pretty much had the place all to myself.  The hotel has 2 public baths (one indoor, and one rooftop) and 3 private baths that were first come first serve on the rooftop (pretty awesome!). 
I was also on a budget so this hotel fit my needs considering the price included both kaiseki dinner and breakfast which is pretty common for ryokans. Both the meals were outstanding and if you don't love seafood (which I do) you will definitely need to work with them prior to your arrival your dietary needs. (I had a friend translate because I don't speak japanese and I am allergic to certain things) 

It was definitely a quiet and relaxing experience and even at the public bath, I ended up only seeing one person there and I never had to wait for the private baths (which are generally first come first serve.  The baths are open from check in throughout the night which was amazing as I woke up at 6am, and watched the incredible sunrise over the sea from the rooftop bath.  an amazing private moment that I didn't expect.

The rooms are traditional tatami mats with sitting area and all have a  view of ocean. you are supplied with hot water, cold water, and drinks in the fridge. there is a great bath with an ocean view window (Not that you ever use it). The amazing and enormous dinner is served in a quiet restaurant with a designated area for your room, I ordered sake with my meal which was from the Atami area and breakfast was even better than dinner (if you like a japanese breakfast).  Atami is extremely famous for seafood, and it's super high quality in this hotel. The food cooking style is very clean and elegant. There is a bar that is open before dinner, and then opens after dinner. there is also an area that serves coffee and tea in the lobby which is also lovely, and the little gift shop has the greatest hits of Atami for some great shopping of local flavors.  

There are definitely more high end insensitive/ryokans that you can experience, but there's not many in this particular area (only 2 I know of but they are definitely more expensive). For the time and the budget, ( I spent around $325 total including drinks) it was a remarkable deal, and the solitary sunrise view bath was worth it on it's own. This is also a great hotel to truly experience a traditional ryokan onsen experience including sleeping on futons (which are made up while you are at dinner). Some places let you have dinner in your room, but since I was solo, my dining area was a tatami semi room which I thought was quite amazing....

Tip: I recommend either arriving early to Atami (there is a shinkansen from shinagawa station about every 30 minutes or so, round trip around $38US dollars if I recall) or after checking out of your hotel and have lunch and walk in the food markets  which are right by the train station.   there are a ton of restaurants which I will definitely try next time to experience more local cooking.   there are also tooooons of shops and local things to try so it's fun to take a look around for an hour or two. Because Atami is so close to Tokyo, I returned by 12pm without rushing to my hotel and still had an entire full day in Tokyo. 

Tip: Pack light.  The hotel gives you Yukatas which are japanese robes which you wear to the baths and pretty much anywhere around the hotel including to dinner. This is pretty standard fare.  you really only need  whatever toiletries you are attached to. they provide everything here at the baths and in your bathroom, so I didn't even pack a change of clothes except a tee, socks and undies. this made it easier to be able to run around town and to carry all my souvenirs I bought at the stalls. 

Tip: I recommend using google translate as it helped me get through communicating with the very lovely staff, since there is very little english spoken. 

Tip:  If you have any japanese friends, have them book for you on on a japanese hotel travel site....I am sure I got a better price....

Tip: Also, they will send a shuttle to pick you up if you request, but if you want to shop around and be flexible, the taxi stand easily can take you for less than 1000 yen. 
there is a 10 am and an 11 am shuttle bus back to atami which literally takes just 10 minutes.

Sea Views only 40 minutes by Bullet Train from Tokyo

Our room was a very traditional 10 tatami but wow, the ocean view is spectacular. Unfortunately, there's a small highway cutting the view and being a bit noisy, but for most of the night all we heard was ocean waves, which is awesome. And the public soaking on the rooftop, while small, was a spectacular view. It's a modern ryokan, fairly large, and dinner in the room was excellent seafood, super fresh. In fact, they cook a like abalone in front of you! It's incredibly disturbing to see this writhing creature get cooked, so we both felt quite guilty eating it -- and really enjoying the taste... there's nothing around to walk to, just stay for a night and continue your trip into Izu... 

Another solid ryokan with amazing ocean view

This is a wonderful place to stay visiting Atami, it is less than 5 minutes taxi ride from the train station. The property is by the ocean with a great view of the ocean, the staff is very courteous and friendly, English communication not very good but adequate, it is made up by the their willingness to serve the guests. We stayed at a tradition Japanese tatami room that sleeps five - it was very spacious and nicely appointed. The hot springs is very nice and in addition to the public pool, there are three private rooms on the rooftop for a couple or family to enjoy. We also had an one hour massage that was very good. Dinner was a traditional Japanese one and included live abalone. We really enjoyed our stay here and the value is exceptional. Love to come back again
