Atami Onsen

Rate this destination:

Atami Onsen in Izu Peninsula at Shizuoka Prefecture is one of the best and most popular hot springs in Japan.
The word "Atami" means "hot sea." The hot water usually comes from the mountains, and it is seldom to have a natural hot spring in near the sea. While soaking in the onsen, you can also enjoy the bayview. It is believed that its high salinity can ease intense pains specifically in the head or face (neuralgia), and extreme sensitivity to coldness. The hot spring also invites women to tighten up their skin and tone the body. It's apparently one of the accessible escape for your body craving to unwind.
