Workation in Atami: the essentials
Atami is a hot-spring resort stacked up a steep hillside above Sagami Bay at the neck of the Izu Peninsula, 45 minutes from Tokyo by Shinkansen. It boomed in the 1960s, faded, and is now enjoying a revival with renovated ryokan, seaside cafes and a few coworking desks aimed at Tokyo escapees. Older studio apartments in the resort towers are among the cheapest near Tokyo, which draws a mix of retirees and remote workers. The town has a small beach, frequent fireworks shows, the MOA Museum and ferries to Hatsushima. Trade-offs: everything is uphill, the vibe is retro-touristy rather than hip, English is scarce, and weekend crowds from Tokyo fill the station area. Fibre is available in most modern buildings. The nearest airport by rail is Haneda; Oshima island airport is closer by line but not practical.
