รีวิวและความประทับใจจากผู้เข้าพักที่ ATAMI Kaihourou

We had an extraordinary experience.

A drive trip to the Izu Peninsula usually meant passing through Atami and heading to East or West Izu. However, with Atami's rising popularity in recent years and its convenient proximity, we decided to stay in Atami for the first time as a couple. We chose Kaihourou because of its excellent reviews on IKYU.com and its concept as a small luxury resort with only four rooms, offering a more tranquil atmosphere compared to large ryokans. Since this accommodation was more high-class than our usual stays, we were slightly concerned that overly formal service might make us feel tense. However, the female manager who attended us provided exceptional service—her soft tone struck the perfect balance between formality and friendliness, allowing us to relax immediately. The facility features extensive use of glass in areas like the entrance, staircase, and water balcony. The large fixed windows in both the lobby lounge and rooms created an open feeling that transported us into an extraordinary space. In our room was a unique glass speaker resembling a large transparent vase; placing your smartphone inside it transformed ordinary sound into an entirely different acoustic experience—a delightful surprise! Both dinner and breakfast were Japanese-style meals served in a dining area where each table was separated by curtains on three sides for privacy while enjoying views outside without concern for others around you. While not overflowing with luxurious ingredients, every dish was incredibly delicious. A few minor points: The toilet’s automatic lid opened when entering but closed again before sitting down if there was any delay—adjusting this feature or turning it off might be better. The en-suite bath had ample space with a layout featuring a hinoki wood tub on one side and an independent shower booth on the other next to the sink area at center-front upon entry. Although there was a larger bath mat near the hinoki tub area, having another smaller mat outside of the shower booth door would have been helpful—we ended up wetting part of the floor after using it without realizing if towels provided could double as mats. Overall though—it felt like staying at an exclusive luxury hotel where we could fully immerse ourselves in extraordinary moments away from daily life. Special thanks go out especially towards their attentive manager whose hospitality made everything even more enjoyable!
