Atami

A place to relax and enjoy the sea view. Admission is 1100 yen.

Perched on a hillside overlooking Atami, the MOA Museum of Art offers a unique blend of architectural marvel, breathtaking sea views, and a curated collection of Japanese and Eastern art. Visitors consistently praise the dramatic escalator entrance and the serene atmosphere, making it a memorable experience beyond just the exhibits.

Atami holds a fireworks festival almost every month of the year, and in summer several times a week. The most spectacular are the early-December winter show and the summer festivals, when up to 5,000 shells can be launched in one evening. The best view of the fireworks is from the main beach of Atami Sun Beach — a perfect way to end your trip before taking the shinkansen to Nagoya.
