November 2022, a travelogue of a free-spirited solo male trip! Fully enjoying Atami Onsen on a 1-night 2-day trip, that I eagerly went to eat simmered alfonsino at an eatery in front of the station but it was super crowded, and trying to eat Atami’s snacks at my second choice “sushi shop,” I accidentally ate scallops from Hokkaido is an eternal secret.
In this article, we convey the charm of a solo male trip to Atami.

“Atami 1-Night 2-Day Hot Spring Travelogue (November 2022)”
“Charm of Solo Male Travel”
A solo trip enjoyed casually, the destination is free, whatever you do is free, (being late and oversleeping are also free), taking a bath at your favorite time, eating meals at your favorite time, and doing the sightseeing you like—solo travel, regardless of gender, is an easy trip that will become one of the standards for travel styles going forward.
In November 2022, I traveled solo to Atami for one night and two days, so I will introduce a solo male travelogue (the real thrill).
At night, toward the neon lights… (I won’t go, lol)
“Atami Sightseeing Solo Male Travel” Moving to Atami
Thinking I wanted to enjoy alcohol while eating “simmered alfonsino” or “sushi” at a famous Atami eatery, since the 12:00 PM block would be crowded, I took the Shinkansen arriving in Atami in the 1:00 PM block, whereupon I fully enjoyed Okinawa!
Why…
I am in the faction that rides in the last car of the Shinkansen! This time too, arriving in Atami in Car 16 (non-reserved seats), the exit was way far ahead! Seriously regretted it…
“Atami Sightseeing Solo Male Travel” Fully Enjoying Footbaths at Atami Station
At Atami Station, there is a footbath plaza in front of the station. Want to enter the footbath…, want to enter the footbath…, want to enter the footbath… But I don’t have a towel… If I enter the footbath on impulse, I can’t wipe my wet feet when I get out.
Extremely disappointed, I went around behind the footbath, and there it was! A towel vending machine! At 100 JPY, super cheap; this towel, after wiping my feet, is a souvenir to take home! Who would say they want a towel that wiped my feet…
Sexy shot! The moment I thought I wanted hair removal…
“Atami Sightseeing Solo Male Travel” Savoring Sushi for Lunch
Eateries in front of Atami Station were heavily congested; even though it was a weekday, every shop had a long queue, making me unintentionally…
Seriously considered McDonald’s. No no no no, a McDonald’s with a colossal “M” that can be eaten anywhere nationwide in Japan, abbreviated as a Do-M McDonald’s! I think that’s wrong…
Avoiding the crowded area in front of Atami Station, heading to a sushi shop in Atami City: from the left, engawa (flounder fin) pickled-something nigiri; the middle is engawa pickled-something nigiri; the right end is engawa salt-sauce nigiri—I’m eating nothing but engawa.
Super delicious!
Trying to eat something else, the scallop I ordered was thick-fleshed and delicious, Hokkaido-produced scallop. Coming to Atami and yet Hokkaido…
Savoring the sushi shop in Atami funly and deliciously with turban shell in the shell and delicious alcohol.
Although it’s the Sendai Main Shop, “Umai Sushikan” is a delicious sushi shop even in Atami.
To go eat the Atami Enjoyment Set, an Atami shop original menu item, won’t someone go together with me? As expected, I can’t finish eating it alone… Gathering at the sushi shop, disbanding at the sushi shop is also OK. No no no no…
“Atami Sightseeing Solo Male Travel” Omiya and Kanichi
Speaking of Atami, it’s the sea, but the tourist spot along the coast, the statue of Omiya and Kanichi, is rusted. Now and in the past, you must not kick women! No, seriously!
“Atami Sightseeing Solo Male Travel” Labyrinth
Speaking of Atami, it’s the sea, but the sea has a boat dock. To go to Atami’s boat dock, there are stairs like a labyrinth. Beautiful, but in the way, right?
“Atami Sightseeing Solo Male Travel” Relaxing Hot Spring, Meals, and Sleeping at the Inn
For the inn, I reserved a slightly older hotel/ryokan with an ocean view along the Atami coast; as for the bath, it’s an open-air, small bath where you can see the sea, but as expected I can’t take photos, so introducing room photos!
This is it!
Darn it! I reserved a Western-style room… While the atmosphere of a Japanese-style room typical of Atami Onsen is also good, a Western-style bed for solo travel is actually easy to sleep in, but sleeping alone in a twin room feels awkward; it’s a bed for going back to sleep in the morning…
The ocean view seen from the room is also good, but the coast of Atami seen in one view from the stair landing was quite worth seeing.
The hotel/ryokan dinner enjoyed to the fullest even on a solo trip was “Abalone, Sashimi, and Tempura Set”; I thought the number of dishes was a bit lacking, but drinking beer and eating it, it was just right.
Since it’s a hotel where bringing in items to your room is OK, to drink alone slowly in the room at night while looking at the sea, the beers bought at a nearby convenience store were blue, yellow, and red.
It’s a traffic light!
That I chose these 3 cans to take this photo goes without saying…
“Atami Sightseeing Solo Male Travel” Found a Good Souvenir!
The recommended souvenir of Atami is a towel. 100 JPY apiece, properly brand new, let’s hand them out.
