Mansion Minami Atami: A Resort Condominium with Natural Hot Spring and Panoramic Views
Mansion Minami Atami is a distinctive resort condominium complex in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, renowned for its authentic natural hot spring baths. The building's key feature is its 'source-flowing' (kakenagashi) onsen, which is supplied without reheating, dilution, circulation, or chemical disinfection, offering a pure and natural bathing experience. In addition to the large communal bath, the complex provides a family bath and a guest room available for owner use.
The property's facilities are comprehensive. According to the agent's notes, the equipment includes electricity from Tokyo Electric Power, no gas supply, drinking water from the municipal water system, and drainage to a centralized purification tank. A special note confirms that permanent residency is allowed, and the bus stop 'Minami Atamidai' with a timetable for services to Atami Station is nearby.
Constructed in February 1977 by Sato Kogyo Co., Ltd., this 10-story reinforced concrete building (with one basement level) contains 289 units. Residents enjoy access to an open-air pool, a rooftop garden with panoramic views of Sagami Bay and Hatsushima Island, and a recreation room with a ping pong table and massage chairs. Conveniences include a restaurant adjacent to the building, a convenience store a short walk away, and on-site coin-operated laundry. The building is managed by Izu Kyu Housing Co., Ltd., with a concierge on duty and an auto-lock system for security. Parking is available on an annual contract basis.
The surrounding Minami Atami area offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle. An interesting local fact is that Atami is famous for its spectacular maritime fireworks festivals held throughout the year, which can potentially be viewed from the condominium's higher floors and rooftop. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Atami Castle, a modern reconstruction perched on a hill offering magnificent views over the city and the bay, located just a few kilometers away.
