Leave Akasaka around 9:30 in the morning and head for Atami.
Looking at the timetable in Jordan, https://world.jorudan.co.jp/mln/en/ it is 4390 yen per person for the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Atami, and it takes 37 minutes for the Shinkansen from Tokyo. 2nd option is "Izu no Odoriko" (Izu Dancer) train takes 1 hour 21 minutes and costs 4000 yen per person. 3rd option is Tokaido, the local train takes 1 hour 53 minutes and 1940 yen.
Other friend families go by car. Since only 5 people can ride in the car, it is already over capacity, so we talked about going by train.
I decided to get to Atami around noon, so I didn't hurry and my son had to pay an adult fee this year so I decided to save and go on the Tokaido.
I thought that it would be possible to sit down during the daytime on weekdays, but it seems that there are many people thinking about the same thing. By the way, there is a reserved seat on this Tokaido, and it was 780 yen per person if you buy a seat in advance. I regret that I should have done this. Well, it ’s a reflection on the next time.
The Tokaido Line didn't start from Tokyo Station and was quite crowded. I told the children that they would sit properly when they had a seat, and then they were vacant little by little, and at around Chigasaki we could sit in a box seat. I didn't feel like opening the snacks and rice balls that I wanted to eat on the train.
My daughter slept on the train because of the jet lag. I couldn't sleep. my son kept watching a smartphone.
We will go to Omuroyama with the team and the line heading by car, but it seems that it takes time to go to the lift platform by train and bus because I don't know the area very well, so we decided to meet up with them in Ito until then, we three would kill some time in Atami.
Atami is famous as a luxury hot spring town. I've been there once or twice. There were a lot of slopes so didn't want to go far from the station. So we have about 3 hours before going to Ito.
1) Footbath in front of Atami Station
Before that, there was a sign in the building in front of the station to leave some heavy luggage but it wasn't open that day. A person in the same building says there's a coin locker so you can leave it.
The footbath was busy in front of the station. A small towel for towels was sold for 100 yen, but I wanted to use the one I brought.
The footbath in front of the station seems is called Ieyasu no Yu. Named after the famous Shogun who build Edo Era.
Daughter willing to enter, but son does not. Teens are difficult to handle.
Locomotive in front of the shopping street. After the footbath, we will have lunch somewhere in the shopping street near the station.
My son likes ramen and he's a picky eater, but he just ate ramen yesterday so I suggested Sashimi lunch but he can only eat tuna.. Moreover, the price is high because it is a sightseeing spot. After all, to a Chinese restaurant that was a little reasonable. I asked for fried rice and fried chicken and a daily special for me. A cafeteria that is loved by the locals.
After that, walk around the shopping street and eat hot spring manju (100 yen)
Take a photo with a Konjiki yasha's sign. . (Face erased) I know this scene but I didn't know the story about this, but I read the outline on the web earlier. Well, that's how it happened. .
I'm heading to Ito soon after the 100 yen store.
Sightseeing gets tired. I want to go with shoes that are easy to walk.
Seven gods of good fortune at Ito

Many thanks for the post. Just a note though, Tokaido line definitely does start from Tokyo station.
