Ryokan Tachibana is a 19-room inn in Atami Onsen, Shizuoka, facing the sea and a seaside park. It calls itself an inn that connects people, and says no two of its rooms share the same layout. The baths use Atami hot-spring water that is 100 percent free-flowing. Before you book, three things matter: dinner is served in your room from 18:00, so check-in on meal plans closes at 18:00; there is no shuttle from Atami Station; and the official site and booking page are in Japanese only.

Getting to Ryokan Tachibana in Atami
How do I get there from Atami Station?
The nearest station is Atami on the JR Tokaido Line. From Tokyo, the inn’s access page gives about 60 minutes on the Kodama shinkansen and about 90 minutes on the Odoriko limited express. From Atami Station, a taxi takes about 6 minutes, or you can walk for about 25 minutes toward the coast. The inn says plainly that it does not run a shuttle.
Is there parking?
Yes. The booking page lists a paid car park at 1,000 yen per day. There is a 7-Eleven about a minute away on foot, and the Atami Ginza shopping street is about 5 minutes away.

Because the official pages show different capacities for some room types, check how many guests your room takes on the booking page itself.
The baths at Ryokan Tachibana
Which baths are there?
There is a view open-air bath on the 5th floor and a large bath on the 1st floor, each with one bath for men and one for women; the 5th-floor baths do not swap. The water comes from Atami’s hot springs, 100 percent free-flowing. Both open at 15:00; ask the inn about closing and morning hours. Day visitors can use the large bath from 15:00 to 20:00 for 1,100 yen. After your bath, the lounge serves welcome drinks and ice pops until 19:00.
Is there a private bath?
Yes, two private baths, opened in August 2020. Apply at the front desk after check-in; they are open from 15:00 to 23:00. The booking page lists 2,200 yen per use, tax included, and some plans include one free use. Our guide to private bath fees explains how these fees work at Japanese inns.
Can I bathe with a tattoo?
The official pages do not mention tattoos. Ask the inn before you book; the private baths and the rooms with their own open-air bath may be worth asking about. Our tattoo and onsen guide explains what to ask.
Meals at Ryokan Tachibana
What are dinner and breakfast like?
Dinner is a kaiseki course served in your room from 18:00. The inn’s signatures are tai-meshi, sea bream cooked with rice, and simmered kinmedai, golden-eye snapper; some plans add abalone, wagyu or a sashimi boat. Breakfast is in your room or the dining area, at 7:30 or 8:00. Local sake includes Isojiman, Kaiun and Kikuyoi. A children’s menu is shown with dishes such as hamburger steak, fried shrimp and karaage.
Can the inn handle allergies or a special diet?
The official pages do not mention allergies, vegetarian or halal meals. Contact the inn before you book. On the room-only plan, meals cannot be added after booking or on the day.

Atami charges a bathing tax of 150 yen per person per day (under 12 exempt) and, since April 1, 2025, an accommodation tax of 200 yen per person per night (elementary school age and under exempt), according to the city. See our onsen bathing tax guide.
What do children cost?

The family plan lists elementary school children at 35 percent of the adult price (70 percent on regular plans) and infants with meals and bedding at 25 percent (50 percent on regular plans). On regular plans, an infant with bedding only is 4,400 yen and with facility use only 3,300 yen.
What is the cancellation policy?
The cancellation fee rates load inside the booking page, and we could not read them; check them on your plan before you pay. The year-end plan states that fees apply from 14 days before. Our hotel cancellation guide covers the common patterns in Japan.
How do I pay?
Plans offer payment at the inn or online by credit card; the year-end plan is online card only. The official pages do not list which card brands are accepted.
