View of atami

This shows the base of the Izu Peninsula surrounded by mountains in three directions to the south, west and north. The plain is said to be the mouth of a volcano which was located there. The name Atami ( hot sea ) is derived from a hot water spring in the sea. Tokugawa Ieyasu bathed in these springs for the first time in 1597 and, it became a hot spa for warrior lords. After the mid- Edo era, it became popular among commoners, and many spa hotels were built with more than 20 hot springs in the village.==Date:unknown, Place:Atami, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐34‐0]
