About

Atami Castle (Atami-jō) is a Japanese castle replica on the summit of Nishikigaura Mountain in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is one of the most scenic spots in Atami City, offering a panoramic view of the city and southern Atami. The building hosts several museums on Japanese history. 200 sakura trees were planted in the castle's garden, which hosts a cherry blossom festival from late March to early April. First constructed in 1959, Atami castle is not a real historical site.
