Sat, Nov 7 · 1:00 PM JST
Zushi Train Station, Miura Peninsula, Kanagawa, JP
👑Hayama Coastal Hike: Imperial Villas & Ocean Views
This route takes you through the heart of Hayama, blending cultural landmarks with refreshing sea breezes.
Route Overview🐬🐬

* Total Walking Time: Approx. 3hours (excluding breaks and museum time).
* Difficulty: Easy (mostly flat, coastal paths).

1. Starting Point: Chojagasaki & Hayama Shiosai Park
Before you begin your trek, head to the tip of Chojagasaki Cape. You’ll be greeted by a breathtaking panorama of Sagami Bay with Enoshima Island visible in the distance. This view is the quintessential Hayama experience—it's the moment you'll truly feel, "I’ve arrived!"
Right nearby stands the Hayama Imperial Villa, a serene retreat used by the Japanese Imperial Family. While the villa itself is not open to the public, you can certainly feel the prestigious and dignified atmosphere that surrounds the estate.
And Hayama Shiosai Park (Entry: 300 yen).
* History & Art: Established on the former site of the Imperial Villa’s annex, the park features a museum where you can learn about local marine life and history.
* The Garden: Enjoy a classic Japanese garden complete with a peaceful pond and vibrant seasonal flowers.
* The View: The black pine grove on the ocean side—it offers a spectacular vantage point to see Mt. Fuji, the Izu Peninsula, and Oshima Island on a clear day.
2. Beaches & Fine Art
* Isshiki Beach: Often voted one of the beautiful beaches in the world. Take a moment to walk the shoreline.
* Museum of Modern Art, Hayama: Located right on the coast, this museum offers incredible architecture and rotating exhibitions. Even if you don't go inside, the garden overlooking the ocean is a must-see.
3. Coastal Stroll to Shinase & Morito
From the museum, head north along the coastline.
* Shinase Coast: A picturesque area with a charming, nostalgic fishing village vibe.
* Morito Daimyojin Shrine: This is a spiritual highlight. Offer a prayer at this historic seaside shrine.
* The Floating Torii: Look out toward the horizon to see the iconic red Torii gate (Nanjima) and the lighthouse standing alone in the ocean. It’s the perfect photo op!
4. The Grand Finale: Hayama Marina
Continue your walk north toward the Hayama Marina.
* Relax: This is the hub of Japan’s yachting culture.
* Cafe Time: End your hike at one of the marina’s stylish cafes. Grab a coffee or a local dessert while watching the boats bob in the harbor.
Quick Tips for the Road
* Check the Tide: The walk is much more pleasant when the tide isn't completely covering the sandy paths.
* Look for Fuji: On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji across the bay from Morito Shrine!

1. スタート地点：長者ヶ崎＆葉山しおさい公園
トレッキングを始める前に、長者ヶ崎の先端を目指しましょう。息を呑むような相模湾のパノラマと、遠くに江ノ島を望む景色が目の前に広がります。まさに葉山体の真髄と言えるでしょう。「やっと来た！」と心から感じられる瞬間です。
すぐ近くには、皇室御用邸として使われていた静謐な御用邸、葉山御用邸があります。御用邸自体は一般公開されていませんが、荘厳で威厳のある雰囲気を肌で感じることができます。
そして、葉山しおさい公園（入場料300円）

• 神奈川県立近代美術館葉山：海のすぐそばに建つ美術館。建物自体のデザインも素晴らしく、展示を見なくても、海を一望できる庭園を散策するだけで価値があります。
3. 真名瀬から森戸へ：絶景の海岸散歩
美術館から北に向かって海岸沿いを進みます。
• 真名瀬（しんなせ）海岸：どこか懐かしい漁師町の雰囲気が残るフォトジェニックなエリアです。
・森戸大明神：歴史ある由緒正しい神社でお参りを。

Ferry tour to Mt.NOKOGIRIYAMA of Chiba
Sun, Nov 15 · 9:45 AM JST
Keikyu Kurihama Station, 神奈川県横須賀市久里浜4丁目4-10, Kanagawa, JP
Wow 👀👀
Let's take Ferry⛴️🐬🐬
from Kanagawa to Chiba Prefecture‼️

This time🙈🙉🙊For those of you
who are short on time‼️
I have a packed 3🤟piece set that includes ⛴️Ferry, ⛰️Mountain and ♨️Hot spring🤩

The tour is crossing Tokyo Bay by ferry, hiking Mt. Nokogiriyama and returning by ferry again.
⛴️Tokyo Bay Ferry(Tokyowan Ferry)
is a cargo ferry that travels between Yokosuka of Kanagawa Prefecture and Futtsu of Chiba Prefecture and takes about 40 minutes. The ship has a first and second floor and a deck, and is very spacious with clean chairs and tables spread out everywhere.The shop is stocked with curry croquettes, soft ice cream, and more, just like a convenience store.You can also sit on a chair from the deck and enjoy the view of Tokyo Bay and the vast ocean while being sheltered from the wind🦭🫧🫧
It's such a comfortable cruise that you'll want to stay on board for more than 40 minutes, and it's also very cheap at just 2,000yen round-trip.
And Let’s go hiking for Mt.Nokogiriyama⛰️‼️
is about 329m above sea level.
The name "Nokogiriyama"comes from the jagged shape of the ridge, which resembles the teeth of a saw. Historically, there are many traces of stones that were cut into the ground for building purposes.The thrilling “Jigokunozoki”(View of Hell) which allows you to look down 100m from the cliffs, is famous and is a spectacular spot with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay and the Boso Peninsula. There is a 30m-tall Kannon statue carved into the wall called "Hyakushaku Kannon".
This time, we will climb the steep slopes of the "Sharikido Course" in about two hours. Take a break and take photos at the many remains of stone quarries, and try your best to reach "Jigokunozoki”.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll from the summit, overlooking the ocean, and have lunch.
After lunch, we walked 20 minutes to the “Nihon-ji Daibutsu”.Along the way, we found a group of 1,553 stone Buddha statues enshrined in a cave in the rock face. Each statue, with its unique face, is truly a sight to behold. Next, we visited the Nihon-ji Daibutsu. Carved from a single rock in 1969, it stands 31.05 meters tall and is the largest stone Buddha statue in Japan. On the way back, we walked to the ropeway, where it was only a five-minute walk back down.
(⚠️ If the wind is strong, walk down)
Return to Kanaya Port and enjoy free time until the ferry departs.
After returning to Kurihama Port.
♨️If you have time, why not visit the big bath facility "Umibe no Yu Kurihama Store"?It's located right in front of Kurihama Port⚓️
It’s a large bath to the open-air bath and it's comfortable to watch the ferries coming and going as time passes slowly.
Other facilities include an electric bath, a jet bath, and a sauna.
Of course, rental towels shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are also provided, and after the bath, you can have a glass of beer.The restaurant has a udon and tonkatsu etc…
