Unlike all the other castles that I’ve been to before, Atami Castle doesn’t really have a huge gallery. It only houses many miniatures and paintings of castles all around Japan, some traditional artifacts, and some old paintings of ancient Japan’s porn. *laughs* However, those are not the things you would like to experience in Atami Castle. What you definitely want to see in Atami Castle is the view of Atami City from the high vantage point.

Atami Castle, towering 120 meters above Sagami Bay, looks very ancient. However, although the creators were inspired by the architecture of the Momoyama period (1568-1600), this is one of the newest castles in Japan: it was built in 1959. Anyway, the view from the castle is simply magnificent, and tourists definitely have something to see.
How to get there
At Atami Station on the JR Tokaido Line, take the Yuyu Sightseeing Loop sightseeing tour bus and drive to Atami Castle.
After getting off the ring bus at the Marine Spa Atami stop, use the Atami cable car: from the upper station to the castle it is only a few minutes on foot.
Modern building
Unlike other Japanese castles, Atami is not a historical building. It was built in 1959, during the period of the tourist boom, and has always served only for the entertainment of tourists.
Nevertheless, the castle is a fairly accurate copy of those that were built during the Momoyama period, at the end of the XVI century. Therefore, it fits perfectly into a number of original buildings of that era, such as the castle in Osaka.
Panoramic view
Today, Atami Castle is a universal tourist attraction, where a variety of objects of Japanese culture are presented: from a collection of samurai costumes from the Edo period to an exhibition of erotic prints in the Ukiyo—e style.
The exposition dedicated to the castles of Japan and their history is a tribute to the historical "ancestors" of the Atami.
The real highlight of the castle is the view from the top floor of Sagami Bay. It becomes especially fascinating in the spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom. Sakura blooming here is esecially charming! However, it is also good idea to come here in the summer, during the famous Fireworks Festival.

The most beautiful cherry blossoms in eastern Shizuoka are all here (from late March to early April)
Eastern Shizuoka, Izu Peninsula,
as if you were in an ocean of cherry blossoms, with pink petals fluttering down, picturesque and poetic.
As the spring breeze passes, under the cherry trees, a romantic pink is left behind. A gentle breeze stirs, and amidst the cherry blossom rain, it's like a dreamy fairyland.
Immersed in it, the soul is purified, forgetting the troubles and disturbances of the mundane world. Each cherry blossom is a masterpiece of nature, each view a gift from the great outdoors. In this ocean of cherry blossoms, let your heart drift with the wind,
and in the fragrance of the flowers, appreciate the beauty and brevity of life. Listen quietly,
to the blossoming and falling of the flowers, feel the passage of time, and taste the cycle of life.
The Izu Peninsula, where the cherry blossoms bloom, is the yearning for the beauty of the soul, and also a portrayal of life in full bloom.

Not a castle built centuries ago. Just an imitation. Visitors can ride a lift to the top (6th) level, where commands an excellent view of the seashore, and at the back a hillside planted with trees. Visitors can come down by staircase to visit the lower floors where displays show the old Japanese life. There is a special floor that houses a collection of old style Japanese erotic paintings. The content is bold and illustrative. It is warned right in front of the entrance that persons under 18 are not allowed to enter.
I want to visit this place again in 2024.

If you come to Japan, be sure to visit Shizuoka.
Atami is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, not far from Yokohama and Tokyo. The most famous thing there is the hot springs, but there are also many popular scenic spots. Nestled among the mountains and waters, the scenery is picturesque. If you come to Japan, be sure to check it out 😊👍.
