Takami Hotel: Inn with Spectacular Views and Open-Air Baths

Takami Hotel stands on a hill above Atagawa Onsen, with every guest room facing the Izu sea. The view is a constant feature of the stay, shifting with light and weather rather than being limited to a single public terrace.

The kitchen’s signature kaiseki includes a whole kinmedai, the golden-eye snapper associated with Izu, alongside fresh seafood. Bathing includes a natural hot spring, communal and open-air baths, private bathing and room categories with open-air baths. The large observation bath can also be reserved privately.

Takami is a strong choice for travellers who want an intimate coastal view, a recognisable regional fish dish and private bathing options. Exact room facilities and meal contents vary by plan, but the combination of sea, kinmedai and water is unusually coherent.
