Ways to stay.
The same house, set up for the reason you're coming. Each plan is a stay we prepare differently: the rooms arranged, the right things waiting, a day out planned if you want one, and a price that includes everything we provide; restaurants and partners bill you directly. Choose one and we'll take care of the details before you arrive.
The same house, set up for the trip you're planning. Every plan but the remote-work week uses our standard nightly rates, tax included: stay five nights or more and every night is 25% less, seven or more and it's 30% less. The remote-work week has its own price, for seven nights in one room.

Fireworks nights
About fifteen nights a year, fireworks over Atami's harbour.
The shows run from 20:20 to 20:40 (20:15 to 20:40 in July and August). From the deck you watch them up the coast, above the lights of the town; for the full sound, go down to the water with your host, by car or by train, and stay for the silver finale.
They go ahead in rain but can be called off for high waves. Because fireworks nights are priced like any other night, nothing changes on your bill if the sea decides otherwise.
Members at Moon level and above hear about new show dates first, before they go on the site.
- Includes
- The dates in your stay, sent before you arrive
- A seat on the deck, or a trip to the shore with your host, by car or train
- The same nightly rate as any other night

Anniversaries and honeymoons
Atami was Japan's honeymoon town. It still knows how.
From the 1950s, newlyweds filled the Saturday trains to Atami. The town still has the old kissaten and the seafront where they walked, and the hill above the bay is as quiet as it ever was.
Tell us it's an occasion when you book. We time the pickup so you're on the deck as the light goes, keep the outdoor Jacuzzi warm for you all evening, and book a table at a restaurant in town that does a celebration well; you pay the restaurant directly. With the full house, the ocean-view bath and the sauna are yours too.
If there's a fireworks night in your stay, you watch it from the deck, up the coast above the lights of the town. Or walk the Showa streets with your host the afternoon before.
- Includes
- Pickup timed for sunset on the deck
- A table booked in town for the evening (the restaurant charges you)

Plan 03 · Full house
Families and three generations
Room to spread out, tatami for the little ones, and no trains to change.
Grandparents take Room A's tatami and the garden view; parents and children split Room B and Room C. Everyone meets at the walnut table, and the island kitchen has tableware for ten and children's plates too.
We meet you at the station with child seats for two or three children, so nobody changes trains with a pushchair. The house is on a steep hill and there's a tub on the deck, so little ones need a grown-up close by.
Days out: gold panning at Toi, the sea cave at Dougashima, Atami's beaches in summer, ume picking in June. Children of primary-school age and younger don't pay Atami's accommodation tax.
- Includes
- Cot, high chair, children's tableware, step stool and baby bath
- Child seats for 2–3 children on the free pickup
- Room A's tatami for babies and grandparents

Muslim-friendly family stays
A home base in Japan that knows how you pray and how you eat.
Your host has lived in a Muslim-majority country and knows what a family needs from a trip to Japan. We mark the qibla in the rooms, keep Atami's prayer times to hand and, if you ask, clear the kitchen and fridge of pork and alcohol before you arrive. Room A's tatami makes a calm place to pray.
For meals out, we find restaurants that suit your diet and explain it to the kitchen in Japanese. We say Muslim-friendly rather than halal on purpose: we'll point you to certified places where they exist, and tell you plainly where they don't.
Use the house as a base for a week. Hakone is about 45 minutes away, the Izu coast and Mt. Fuji are day trips, and your host can guide in English or Japanese, planning each day around prayer times.
- Includes
- Qibla marked in the rooms, and Atami's prayer times
- No pork or alcohol in the house, on request
- Help finding restaurants that suit your diet
- Cot, high chair, and child seats on the free pickup
- Guided days planned around prayer times (guide fee applies)

Remote-work weeks
A desk facing the sea, fast fibre, and a week in one room at its own price.
The walnut dining table faces the bay through floor-to-ceiling glass: the best desk in the house. The plan is one bedroom, Room A or Room B, made up for you, with the living room, the island kitchen, the deck and the tub around it, and no one else in the house but your host upstairs. Fast fibre Wi-Fi reaches every corner on a mesh network.
Between calls: the outdoor Jacuzzi, a short drive to the beach, a convenience store a few minutes away by car, and a washing machine and dryer for the week. Quiet hours start at 21:00, which suits early starts.
Weekends are for Izu and Hakone, and if the office calls you in, the shinkansen from Atami reaches Tokyo in under an hour.
