Facts and practical information

Kiunkaku is a modern building located at 4-2 Showa-machi, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Built in 1919, it is designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Atami City. It was originally the villa of businessman Kaichiro Nezu and Minister of Agriculture and Commerce Nobuya Uchida. Ltd. acquired the building and operated it as a ryokan, but Nippon Kanko went bankrupt in 2000, and the building has since become a tourist facility owned by the city of Atami.

It has the characteristics of modern Japanese architecture, with fireplaces, glass lighting, and Roman baths, all modern architectural styles from the Taisho period onward.

Kaneto Shindo, Nobuko Otowa, and others have taken advantage of the building to shoot films, creating a sense of the good old days.
