Atami castle and retro bowling at Ito

A total of 8 children and adults arrived at  the Ito Station.

After arriving at Atami Station, we will do the footbath in front of the station like we three did yesterday. At this time, I bought a towel for 100 yen.

Then take a bus to Atami Castle. We wanted to get on the ropeway so We got to the bottom of the ropeway station. On the way, From the bus, I saw a famous a statue of Kanichi and Omiya. (A guy kicking a woman. Will you be criticized internationally?　Don't be stiff.

There is a hidden treasure house (a museum for adults) just below Atami Castle, and there are three sensitive 13-year-old boys,  they were so excited.

A view from the ropeway. It is a superb view. Atami is similar to Monaco.
Slopes, buildings and the sea.

Ride through the ropeway and graze the hidden treasure house (there is a funny statue at the entrance)

To Atami Castle. The admission fee was a little cheaper using the coupon.

Take the elevator to the top, take a picture, and then go down.

By the way, this Atami castle was built in 1959, so it's not a real historical building like an old military commander XX made. But the exhibition was an introduction to Japanese samurai culture.

Japanese trick art is wonderful.

At the gift shop, they gave out little presents for those who can blow shells.

There is a game arcade in the basement and you can play as much as you want! You don't have to pay a plus fee, so you will end up playing kids here for a long time.

Another mother and two children are joining us to meet in Ito, so it's time for us to leave Atami Castle.

When we go down on the ropeway, We saw an actress and camera crew.

Take the bus back to Atami Station and get in time for the train. Since there are only about 3 trains in an hour, if you miss one, there is a lot of waiting time.

From Ito this time, we went to the hotel by bus and joined my friend. It became more lively.

The pool, hot springs and other family restaurants at night. If you have a large group and many children, it's just easy to eat at the family restaurant.

We separate to the two groups :13-year-old boys who wants to bowl and two moms and who wants to drink in the inn room with children who is too little to enjoy bowling.

This place uses handwritten score. I did not know how to calculate, but another mom knew.

It ’s a very low level battle.

Sons have little experience, but there is a margin of growth.

I've always been bad at bowling. .

In this way, the night of Ito's second day was over.

Going to Atami (Famous hot spring place)

Staying at Akasaka, Tokyo

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.
