Kiunsoan (起雲閣)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Once built as a villa for businessmen and financiers, beloved by many literary figures, Kiunsoan is a landmark modern Japanese-style building in Atami. Registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan, visitors can tour the interior and the well-maintained Japanese garden, with each room showcasing different designs—a fresh experience for both adults and children. After viewing, have an early lunch at nearby restaurants to secure plenty of time for beach swimming.

Tips

About 10 minutes by bus from Atami Station. Some areas inside require removing shoes and wearing provided slippers, so comfortable footwear is recommended. Finishing lunch at a restaurant along the way to Atami Sun Beach avoids rushing on the sand.

Best time to visit

Approximately 45 minutes (not including lunch time). Touring around noon and finishing lunch by 1 p.m. is recommended.
