大江戸温泉物語 ホテル水葉亭
(おおえどおんせんものがたり ホテルすいはてい)
199. Ooedo Hotel Suiyotei, Atami Stayed overnight, without meals. Looks like a large hotel, five minutes by car from Atami station. The hotel's main highlight is an outdoor stone bath with an amazing view of the bay. There's a dedicated path to it, partially outdoors. It seems to alternate male/female. The only facility up there is a single shower. Clear water, hot temperature. Behind a small fence there was a shallow bath at a slightly lower level, but it was empty and used as a drain. Indoor area: 1. Main indoor bath with a bay view. On paper it looked interesting, but in reality the view isn't great and the glass distorts the picture. Clear water, temperature 40. 2. Additional bath next to the main one. Also has a partial view. Clear water, temperature around 41. 3. Round bath with a bubble zone. Clear water, temperature 43. 4. Sauna. 5. Cold water bath. For me this was an optimal option near the station, with a really great outdoor bath and the ability to book without meals (breakfast and dinner didn't fit my schedule for this slot). Can recommend considering it if looking for accommodation in Atami.
