The Hot Springs At Atami
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The pretty little town of Atami, which nestles in the sunshine of the shore of a little artificial-looking bay, has been made famous by the geyser there. Once every four hours it spurts and its salty stream is said to be so efficacious for throat and lung complaints that the town is practically supported by those who come there to undergo a geyser cure.
Atami has no sights. It is simply a little restful gem of a place, which the hand of winter never touches; where plum blossoms deck every nook and temple-ground whilst Tokyo is all a-wal-low with icy slush; and where every hillside that raised out of the sea is yellow with orange-groves. It is a little peaceful Eden where the sick come and find renewed health and strength, as they loaf about in the warm sunny gardens during the winter, whilst, not twenty miles away the Tokaido may be white with snow."
