What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The architectural details, inspired by a traditional Japanese house, are stacked with enough elevation that you can stare out at the ocean from your suite.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on the coastal bluffs of Atami, the secluded retreat looks toward Hatsushima Island just forty-five minutes south of Tokyo.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames ocean panoramas, while two specialty suites showcase traditional tea-house woodwork and authentic tatami mats.
The onsen
Soak slowly.
Private stone baths sit on each terrace, filled with Atami's geothermal spring water overlooking the open horizon.
At the table
Multi-course French dinners spotlight Sagami Bay seafood and Izu produce, served in timber dining spaces looking across the sea.
How it began
The property opened in 2016 as a gourmet auberge, reimagining classic Japanese inn hospitality through a dedicated French culinary lens.
