Hotel New Akao

The 4 day 3 night package that I paid for has far exceeded my expectations. The facilities are exceptional and the Japanese dinners offered at Masson Restaurant were superb. An unlimited access to spa facilities at both Ocean and Horizon is highed commended. I was even allowed to take western buffet breakfast at Ocean Tower when requested. This is the best Japanese onsen vacation by value and experience among the over half dozen I took in other tourist hot spot. Have recommended this hotel and its package to many friends and associates worldwide.

OMG - what a place, fantastic onsens, amazing food, spacious room, it can’t get any better. Shuttle bus from Atami Train Station is so helpful too. Absolute best hotel we stayed at during 7 weeks travel in Japan!

The meal experience was truly amazing and also somewhat unusual. It was in a huge ballroom with hundreds of guests served buffet style. Guests are encouraged to wear the uniforms (pajama type tops and trousers) so the scene was like a socialist banquet. The quality of the food was truly exceptional, however. The best thing about the hotel was the massage service which was one of the best massages I have ever had (from Morita-san). The view from my room overlooking the ocean was fabulous. The outdoor onsen overlooking the see was even better (in the other wing).

The hotel lobby was painted white that looks clean & neat and the smell was really good …like a fragrance of a flower that really attracted my attention.I paid ¥1,000 for the parking fee but it’s ok.parking was very near to the hotel. The breakfast was served with healthy foods( Japanese )good for the people who have high chloresterol and avoiding fattyfoods.I like the fried fish they served and the umeboshi & vegetable salad.You can also bring a free coffee ☕️ in your room.There’s a free paper cups w/ a cover to prevent fr.spilling,sugar& creamer readied in the front of the restaurant. Fr.my room ,I can view the beach & the beautiful sunrise.The space of the room was very large nor the bed.The floor that I’m staying is very quiet ,you can’t hear any noise outside.The amenities are great ,shampoos,conditioner,body soap ,face milk lotion are fr. POLA brand.There’s a bottle for free water in my room but you have to fill it by going to a certain room ( same floor)where the Refill Water was installed.Got water twice for my children cup noodles& drinking water. I experienced to bath in their 7 onsen.There are complete in amenities too.It was fun . I recommend this place ,if you really want to enjoy your travel .Better to get a plan w/ Breakfast& Dinner coz there’s no convenient store nor restaurant outside the hotel.But if you really want to save you can bring snacks or cup noodles.

The hotel is not very new but all facilities are well maintained and in good condition. Room is big, bed is large, sea view is very nice. Dinner and breakfast are Japanese style with very good quality. Many choices of onsen including open-air one. Location is close to Atami Castle about 3 mins by car.
