Questions about getting here.
How do I get to Atami from Tokyo?
The Tokaido Shinkansen is the quickest: about 50 minutes from Tokyo Station on a Kodama, which stops at Atami all day, or about 40 on the few Hikari that stop there. The local Tokaido Line takes about 1 hour 45 minutes. We meet you at Atami Station for free, and the house is 15 to 20 minutes away by car.
Do you pick up from the station? Is it free?
Yes, and it's free: from Atami, Kinomiya or Ajiro station, and in Hakone or at Odawara if you're coming from there. We have child seats for two or three children. We don't run airport or Tokyo transfers; if you'd like a door-to-door car, we can book a licensed hire car, which bills you directly.
Can we walk up to the house?
You can, but it's steep. Ajiro Station is 15 to 20 minutes away on foot, uphill all the way, or 4 to 5 minutes by car. With luggage, take the free pickup.
Is there parking?
Yes, for two cars: a covered garage that fits a car of any size, and an open space behind the house. We can arrange two more spaces at no charge; tell us before you arrive.
Can you keep our luggage?
Yes, on your arrival and departure days, so you can explore before check-in or after check-out. Ask us when you book.
