A small but refined collection of Japanese and Chinese pottery, paintings and Buddhist treasures spanning a millenia awaits at this museum, built dramatically into the hillside like a Bond villain lair. Artefacts are beautifully displayed in tatami-lined alcoves, the result of a design makeover by artist Sugimoto Hiroshi, while walls of glass at various junctures confer dizzying sea views.
Buses run here from platform 8 outside Atami Station (¥170, eight minutes).
