The town's main street, Heiwadori Shopping Street, features numerous shops selling local delicacies and souvenirs, as well as restaurants.

For couples seeking a romantic getaway, Atami provides a wonderful alternative. Many of the hillside ryokans and hotels offer private onsen baths with stunning ocean views, creating an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. You can also explore the Atami Castle and its surrounding gardens for panoramic vistas.

Families will also find Atami appealing due to its accessible beach and family-friendly attractions. The Atami Trick Art Museum and the many small amusement arcades along the waterfront provide entertainment for all ages.

The best time to visit Shimotaga is during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) for pleasant weather and beautiful scenery.

Spring in Shimotaga offers mild temperatures, great for exploring the coastal areas and enjoying outdoor activities without the humidity of summer. You'll find the cherry blossoms in bloom, particularly lovely along the Shimotaga Onsen coastline and in the nearby parks, creating a picturesque setting. It's an ideal time for couples looking for a romantic getaway, with opportunities for scenic walks and relaxing in the hot springs.

Autumn provides similarly comfortable temperatures and stunning natural beauty as the leaves change colour, especially in the surrounding hills and along the river valleys. This season is excellent for those who enjoy hiking and photography, with clear skies often providing great visibility.
