On Nov. 3, Atami Sekaie in Shizuoka Prefecture opened a new annex named Atami Sekaie Tsuki-no-michi featuring 13 rooms, including a luxurious penthouse and a Japanese grill restaurant 1 Shio (Hitoshio).

The hotspring ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) complex, created in collaboration with globally renowned consultant Kenichi Omae, is a fusion of a business executive training facility and a small luxury resort. The penthouse has a counter kitchen where a chef cooks Japanese cuisine such as tempura and teppanyaki (iron grill cooking) to order. The light gray tones of the rooms and the generous space offer guests premium relaxation.

The Atami Sekaie complex is the only ryokan in Atami that has an open-air bath with natural free-flowing hot spring water in every room. The hot spring source has a history dating back more than 800 years. The Ocean Breeze personal conditioning salon offers a conditioning program and counseling for better physical management. Other health and fitness programs such as macrobiotic fasting, Nordic walking and yoga are available.
