Kiunkaku, Atami Overview
A 1919 private villa, later a ryokan, where Tanizaki, Dazai and Shiga Naoya all stayed, now kept as a city cultural property. The interest is the Taisho-era mixing of Japanese and Western rooms around a single garden. Six hundred and ten yen, closed Wednesdays. It is the best value stop in Atami and takes about an hour.
