“Oedo Onsen Monogatari Atami” Experience Report

Going to “Oedo Onsen Monogatari Atami”

To see the Atami tourist spot “Omiya and Kanichi,” I descended Atami’s slope to Atami Sun Beach (coastline), and I wanted to kick “Kanichi, representative of terrible men” who kicked Omiya, but since it’s a bronze statue, if I kick it, my leg will probably hurt more, so I endured. On the way back up the slope, I saw “Oedo Onsen Monogatari Atami”!

This is it!

It was above a stone wall. I unintentionally thought about climbing the stone wall, but what lies beyond climbing the stone wall is probably the women’s open-air bath! If I finish climbing and turn my eyes into heart shapes♡ looking at beautiful women in the bath looking “irresistible♡,” I feel like I’ll definitely be pushed off the stone wall!

As expected, I couldn’t climb the stone wall, so I tried to head to the front via a detour, but there were two choices of routes:

The red route with a steep slope going up and down (slightly closer)
The blue route with a gentle slope going down and up (slightly farther)

“Which is the choice of fate!” I thought, but since “slopes are a strong enemy” to me, I chose the flat blue route, and after advancing 5 meters, I realized!

There’s a back entrance!

Entering from the back door, it is possible to go up to the 5th floor by elevator and check in.

Yukata Heaven After Getting Out of the Bath

Oedo Onsen Monogatari has a spacious large public bath and an open-air bath attached, allowing for a relaxed soak. (The men’s bath and women’s bath rotate by time slot).

After getting out of the bath, experience refreshing heaven in the post-bath lounge. That’s because there is a manga space that is in a sense “heaven”! This is dangerous! I am torn between reading manga or gazing at warm yukata girls reading manga after getting out of the bath.

Either way, it’s irresistible♡

It is a space like Shangri-La.

Dinner is a Buffet with Funamori Alfonsino Sashimi Platter

For dinner, they are running a Funamori Alfonsino Fair in a buffet style where you can eat as much as you can in the 2 hours from 18:00 to 20:00.

I want to take home the whole “ship” as it is! The sashimi is also a huge amount, but it is a buffet to the point of wanting to make a witty retort like “Is this multinational cuisine?!” with “Simmered Alfonsino,” “Pasta,” “Steak,” “Tempura,” “Curry Rice,” and even “Mapo Tofu.”

As expected, what I take is sushi. Speaking of all-you-can-eat sushi, it is also a trap where you get full on sushi alone, but the sushi in the Oedo Onsen Monogatari dinner buffet is pressed relatively small per piece, so even if you eat smilingly like Gal Sone-chan of big-eater fame, it is sushi where you can eat a relatively large amount.

If it were Gal Sone-chan, I feel like she would eat it all up.

8 pieces of sushi, chicken wings, simmered dishes, sashimi, simmered alfonsino, chawanmushi, tofu, egg tofu, mapo tofu, tempura, steak, fruit, and plenty of white soup, but even eating this much, it’s all-you-can-eat and the price doesn’t change at all.

After this, I definitely cannot step on a weight scale.

The steak was too delicious and I got 3 seconds. (Even though Atami means seafood…)

Monopolizing a Japanese-Style Room with “Atami Atmosphere” as a Single Room

For the room, I monopolize a Japanese-style room by myself. This spaciousness where no one complains even if I sleep spread-eagled on the tatami mats! If I lie down spread-eagled on the tatami mats after drinking alcohol, I will 100% sleep like that until morning, and when I realize it, it’s morning, leaving only painfully clean futons behind, resulting in a hurting body and a hangover as the worst outcome, so it is a dangerous Japanese-style room.

When traveling alone, the timing for laying out the futon to sleep is difficult.

Speaking of Atami, it is a hot sea, so the ocean view seen from the inn is wonderful. In a space relaxing while looking at the sea, let’s look at Atami’s sea while drinking alcohol.

Breakfast is Also Buffet-Style

Breakfast is a buffet style on par with a luxury hotel. From bread to rice and curry rice, it is stocked. “Gohan no otomo” (rice side dishes) such as “salted squid,” “nametake mushrooms,” and “seasoned nori” are gathered, making it the best breakfast where you feel like you can eat several bowls of white rice from the morning.

Let’s eat vegetables too…

Overlooking Atami’s fireworks from an ocean-view window would be the best! I want to go to wonderful Atami, which is easy to access and enjoyable.
