Atami, a beautiful seaside town on the Izu Peninsula, is more than just hot springs and ocean views — it’s also a place with deep culinary traditions and local charm. This former retreat for shoguns and VIPs still has long-standing specialty shops that supply high-quality ingredients to refined ryokan inns serving authentic Japanese cuisine.

On this small-group walking tour, you’ll visit three of these shops — offering essentials like katsuobushi, wasabi-zuke, green tea, and tofu — where you can learn, taste, and connect. Meet passionate local merchants, enjoy delicious samples, and experience the flavors that define Atami’s food culture.
