Hotel New Akao, Hotel in Japan
Hotel New Akao is a seaside property in Atami situated on a cliff directly beside the ocean with sea views from most rooms. The building features two wings called Horizon and Ocean, both offering full views of the water and extending across to the Boso Peninsula on clear days.
The hotel opened in 1970 when Japanese people began enjoying increased leisure time and traveling to coastal destinations like Atami. The building preserves the style of that period and reflects the Showa era, when travel and relaxation became part of daily life.
The hotel's name references the Akao family who once inhabited this coastal area. The property reflects Japanese culture through Nigiwai Yokocho, a recreated Showa-era street featuring traditional sweet shops, vintage video game arcades, and old-fashioned bars that visitors can explore.
The hotel has around 250 air-conditioned rooms with complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and free toiletries in every bathroom. A complimentary shuttle service connects the hotel to nearby Atami Beach, making ocean visits straightforward.
The hotel features three different hot spring baths, with one named Namine located right beside the shore to echo the sound of waves. The outdoor pools are designed so the bathwater appears to blend seamlessly with the ocean beyond.
