Atami Sekitei is a ryokan in Atami Onsen, Shizuoka, built around a stone garden of about 3,000 tsubo, with detached sukiya-style rooms scattered through it. The inn says it has looked after Japanese hospitality for more than half a century. Before you book, three things matter: rates are per person with dinner and breakfast; the city’s bathing tax and accommodation tax are added on top; and the two private open-air baths cost 1,500 yen per 45-minute session.

The inn’s own story traces it to the Kikufuji Hotel in Hongo, Tokyo, a lodging loved by writers and artists. The garden uses stones and stone lanterns gathered from across Japan, including Iyo stones and Kurama stone, and the inn calls it “a universe of stone.” Staff greet guests with “okaerinasaimase,” welcome home.

The baths at Atami Sekitei
What kind of hot spring is it?
The water is a calcium-sodium chloride spring from the inn’s three own sources. The men’s open-air bath is Furudanuki-no-yu, and the women’s, Goshinboku-no-yu, has a tub carved from jadeite. The official pages do not list their opening hours, so ask at check-in. Open-air annex rooms have their own free-flowing open-air bath.
How do the private open-air baths work?
There are two, Sagasawa and Imaihama. Each session is 45 minutes for 1,500 yen, for one group of up to six. Slots run from 14:30 to 18:15 before dinner, from 20:30 to 24:15 after dinner, and from 6:30 to 9:15 the next morning.
Can I bathe with a tattoo?
The official pages do not mention tattoos. Ask the inn before you book; the private baths and the bath in your room are used without other guests. Our tattoo and onsen guide explains what to ask.
