[2024 Atami Stay] Travel Guide for Furuya Ryokan (Updated Nov)
Experience of a Century-Old Inn in Atami: Feel the Japanese Onsen Ryokan in the Fusion of Tradition and Modernity
This Atami onsen ryokan, established in 1806, carries 218 years of history and culture, and is still run by the same family, making it a rare century-old establishment. Its excellent location is just a 2-minute walk to the Atami seaside and 15 minutes to the Kinomiya Shrine, making it extremely convenient for exploring local scenery and experiencing traditional culture. It is also about 2 kilometers from Atami Station, MOA, and Atami Castle, with a 7-11 convenience store nearby, providing all the necessities of life.
It is worth mentioning that despite its long history, the hotel's rooms were renovated two years ago, with new facilities that are clean and tidy, completely breaking the stereotype of old inns being outdated. Here, the fusion of tradition and modernity allows each stay to feel the sediment of time and the quality of life.
The hotel follows the tradition of Japanese onsen ryokans, offering a package service of one night with two meals, including dinner and breakfast. The richness and deliciousness of the dinner break the stereotype of Japanese cuisine being exquisite but not filling, allowing guests to enjoy the food while also feeling satisfied. The butler will arrange and serve 30 minutes in advance according to the guest's chosen time, whether it is dinner at 6 or 7 pm, or breakfast at 8 or 8:30 am, ensuring thoughtful and attentive service.
The butler's service is a major feature of this inn. The full Japanese service, including facility introduction, welcome tea, dinner and breakfast, and bed making, allows guests to feel the hospitality of Japanese traditional culture. The enthusiasm and patience of the staff make guests feel the warmth of home even in a foreign country. When leaving, the staff will see guests off to the door, waving goodbye, making them feel very warm.
The hotel's onsen is sourced from Seizaemon-no-Yu, one of the seven hot springs of Atami, with 100% natural hot spring water that has a faint sulfur smell, allowing guests to relax their body and mind while enjoying the gifts of nature. The onsen facilities have been renovated, clean and comfortable, allowing guests to enjoy the convenience and comfort of modernity while soaking in the hot springs.
