Atami means hot ocean, and legend has it this name is derived from a time when hot spring waters welled up from the bed of the nearby ocean, making it so hot that the fish in it died.

All are said to aid recovery from fatigue and promote health as well as ease muscle soreness, nerve pain, chronic skin diseases, and a variety of other conditions.
