THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

FUFU Atami's baths are fed by the never-ending abundant hot water of the Atami onsen source, which is loaded with minerals to be efficacious against a host of ailments, including nerve pain, muscle pain and tight joint, shoulder problems, and other physical malfunctions. The minerals in the water help make the skin silky smooth, and a long hot soak not only feels great - it's just the ticket for relief of stress, worry, bad moods and spiritual ailments.
Each of the large public baths, one men's and one women's, has an outdoor tub, which is big, roomy and steams briskly in the cool open air; they both overlook a serene, leafy garden of bamboo and larch. The indoor baths are similarly huge and comfortable.
In the dry sauna, the walls are appropriately fitted with cedar planks, finished with black markings that look like burn marks, giving the sauna's deep heat a visual enhancement. The baths have top-notch amenities by Margaret Vosephin.
