    This Hotel is in the middle of Atami. Good walking distance to the beach and also the city center. The most impressive was the Ryokan Breakfast in the room and the Ryokan dinner. The Dinner in my opinion is a MUST !!!!!!! The Onsen was also very relaxing.

    Not a thing!

    Simply stunning traditional Ryoken building, interiors, bathing rooms and gardens. Calm and serene atmosphere, a magical journey back in time. Our room was simply stunning, the real Japan experience we so hoped to be immersed in. Close to local dining opportunities and shopping, fresh local seafood abounding. Beautiful friendly and helpful locals. We would return here again in a heat beat! All the staff at the Ryoken really need a special mention and to be celebrated, we were treated like royalty, pampered and our every need anticipated. We had a Japanese diner banquet served in our room. A simply stunning visual and culinary experience par excellence. Next morning the same again for breakfast, both meals served and hosted by our attentive, cheerful, charming and skill full host. To top it off a fond fair well and a lift to the station for the next part of the journey!

    Great location, close to everything , very convenient from the train station, beautiful and traditional ryokan, with a lovely sea view room. The staff was very considerate and helpful , a big thank you ! The welcome matcha tea and wagashi, was a delicate attention , we loved it ! The onsen was such a delight after a long day discovering the area. I highly recommend Sakura Ryokan when you are in Atami !

    It was in need of some refreshing, using plastic tree details instead of real tree.

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Service was great! The experience was a full Ryokan experience. Incredible and genuine food. A bit over the top. I felt very bad for leaving a lot of food.

    The Japanese Kaiseki breakfast was superb, The Tradional Ryokan service is always a great experiance and the staff are so attentive and helpful. I would like to say thankyou to Futaba who looked after us, she was amazing, so happy and friendly and went out of her way to answer any of our questions and help us in any way she could. She is such an asset to this Ryokan The onsen was spotlessly clean and so relaxing. It is close to the station but tucked away in a side street so you feel you are away from everything. Being given a lift to the staion on our departure was just another bonus.

    Beautiful, traditional Ryokan in the heart of Atami
    • Leisure trip

    One of the baths had a seam that was peeling (it was above the water line, so probably not a big deal, but aesthetically noticeable). The lodging consisted of multiple buildings, and our room was in what I'd describe as an annex(?). To exit the property, we had to ride our elevator down 3 floors, walk across the lower level (which had the bath entrances, that much was convenient), then take a different elevator up a floor to the lobby, in order to leave our key with the front desk before heading outside. It was never a problem, but it was a little unusual. I believe we could take a staircase to the lobby from the basement, but there were no non-emergency stairs from the basement to our room, which means I was dependent on the elvator. Elevator dependency makes me a little nervous, but only because I worry about potential problems and delays..none of which happened during our stay. I really enjoyed the accomodation and had a fantastic time in Atami.

    I had scouted the location online, but I liked the location even more than I expected! It was between the Shinkansen station and the beach (a little closer to the station, which was the "uphill" direction; everything very walkable). The pedestrian-only, covered streets were the most direct way to reach the lodging from the station, each filled with many temptations. However, we initially used the regular street to get to the lodging. It was slightly longer, but it was less steep and less crowded; thus, the eaiser choice while bringing our luggage. The lodging is close to a public stair case (the town is somewhat vertical, being built into its hills). When we checked out, we realized that our arrival strategy of following the car-road actually extended all the way down to the lodging, so when we departed, we took that to avoid steps. When not checking in/out, I actually enjoyed the staircases a lot. I always appreciate stairs from a health/fitness perspective, but also they tend to offer nice views and photo spots. We were only about a 5 minute walk from the pedestrian shopping streets by the station, another 3 minutes from the station itself, and in the other direction, less than 10 minutes on foot from stepping on the sand of the beach. The Ryokan itself had a lovely lobby and traditional, landscaped entrance, despite being surrounded by more modern places. Meals were served in-room. We had a really nice view out of our window, albeit partially obstructed by another tall building. Interacting with the staff was a pleasure. A few had near-perfect English, others had serviceable English, and I possess some almost-serviceable Japanese, so all in all, we were ok for communication. They had both indoor and outdoor Onsen, nicely appointed. The meals were delicious, fresh, and appealing. That said, our western-ness was not prepared for the live abalone (presented live, but cooked before being eaten). It was very memorable!

    Some instruction on etiquette for the hot spring would have been nice, but a quick Google search worked fine.

    The room we received was large with a normal seating area and a reed mat area for the bed and small table. The hot spring area was well maintained and lovely to use. Breakfast was amazing.

    Dinner was very good but may be too much food. A small desk would have been good; however, it may not be traditional to have one.

    Food was excellent overall. The dinner was very filling and had many different dishes. Breakfast was brilliant.
