I Looked Into Tsuki no Sumika Atami Juraku Hotel

On this blog, I've been running a series looking into campsites and hot spring inns that are easy to reach even without a car, but every now and then I like to introduce a detour destination for those days when I think, "forget camping, let's do a hotel staycation instead."

This time, I looked into Tsuki no Sumika Atami Juraku Hotel. What caught my attention was its great access—just 3 minutes on foot from Atami Station—along with a hot spring that's apparently certified for its moisturizing effect. Since I don't drive, a place close to the station is automatically a strong candidate for me.

The Short Version

It looks like the big appeal of this hotel is its great access, just 3 minutes on foot from Atami Station, plus a hot spring certified for its moisturizing effect.
As for Rakuten Mobile signal conditions, this check came back with a C rating.

I've put together the details below.

What Kind of Hotel Is Tsuki no Sumika Atami Juraku Hotel?

It's located in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the official site lists it as just 3 minutes on foot from JR Atami Station. Apparently you exit the ticket gate, turn right, walk through the Nakamise shopping arcade, and cross at the crosswalk to arrive—meaning you'd barely get wet even on a rainy day. Since I don't drive, having a hotel this close to the station is a relief, as it means I don't have to worry about taxis or buses.

If you're driving, the suggested route goes from the Tomei Atsugi IC via the Odawara-Atsugi Road, then onto National Route 135 toward Atami from the Ishibashi IC. However, using the parking lot apparently comes with an extra fee per night, so getting there by public transportation seems like the more hassle-free option. By Shinkansen, it's about 55 minutes from Tokyo, which makes it easy to extend a day-trip hotel staycation into an overnight stay.

Reservations can apparently be made both through the booking search form on the official site and by phone. According to the listing on Rakuten Travel, check-in is from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM, though these times might shift depending on the plan, so it's probably worth confirming when you book.

Being able to walk there straight through the arcade from the station was really reassuring info for someone like me who's bad at reading maps. Just knowing the route seems hard to get lost on gives me peace of mind.

The Appeal of the Moisture-Certified Hot Spring and In-Room Dining

The biggest highlight of this hotel does seem to be its hot spring, which has apparently received the "Barrier Oasis Onsen" certification. It's said to be certified for its moisturizing effect based on analysis by the POLA/ORBIS Group, which gives it an appealing feel for even the driest seasons.

In terms of facilities, I confirmed the following points.

Rooms with private open-air baths: There are apparently 3 such rooms, which sounds great for anyone who wants to enjoy the hot spring right in their room
In-room dining: There seems to be a plan that lets you enjoy kaiseki cuisine at a relaxed pace in your room
Outdoor pool: It operates seasonally, and apparently there was a notice about it reopening for summer
Spa/esthetic facilities: These are apparently available on-site, making it seem like a place designed to help you relax alongside the hot spring
Total rooms: The hotel apparently has 31 rooms in total

Specific room rates weren't clearly listed on either the official site or Rakuten Travel, and it seems the information is only given at the plan level. It looks like you'd choose between options such as a one-night-with-two-meals plan or an in-room dining plan, depending on what you're after. As someone who prefers staying indoors, I found myself drawn to the idea of a stay where everything—from meals to the hot spring—can be enjoyed without leaving the room.

Rakuten Mobile Signal Conditions

When I checked this hotel's location using the official "My Area Coverage Simulation" tool, the overall rating came back as "C." Actual signal conditions on-site can vary depending on the building's structure and exactly where you're standing, so it's probably best to treat this as just a rough guideline.

For anyone who relies on their smartphone for communication or gathering information during their stay, checking in advance might bring some peace of mind. I couldn't find detailed information about in-house Wi-Fi on either the official site or Rakuten Travel, so if that's a concern, it's probably best to contact the hotel directly beforehand.

As a Rakuten Mobile user myself, that C rating gave me a bit of a jolt. It probably won't matter much if I'm just soaking in the hot spring and relaxing, but I think I'll double-check just in case.

If you're curious, you can check this using Rakuten Mobile's official tool, so it might be worth taking a look on your own phone before heading out.

Wrapping Up

To sum it up, my overall impression of Tsuki no Sumika Atami Juraku Hotel is that its appeal lies in its great access, just 3 minutes on foot from Atami Station, and its hot spring certified for its moisturizing effect. Features like rooms with private open-air baths and in-room dining, which let you enjoy everything without leaving your room, also appealed to me as someone who prefers staying indoors.

The Rakuten Mobile signal check came back with a C rating, so if connectivity is a concern for you, it's probably worth checking the official tool beforehand. As a hotel that's close to the station and easy to reach even without a car, I'd like to keep it on my list of candidates for a hotel staycation.
