Major city · Japan
Atsugi
Spend a half day in Atsugi: visit Iiyama Kannon and relax at an onsen; one night if you want a quiet base before heading to Hakone.
Atsugi is a commuter city in Kanagawa with a few local sights – a Buddhist temple, a hot‑spring and easy access to Mount Ōyama. One afternoon covers the highlights; a night adds a relaxed onsen stay.
