Only an hour away from Tokyo! Recommended sightseeing spots with beautiful ocean views
Introducing recommended sightseeing spots on the Miura Peninsula, which is an hour away from Tokyo. Enjoy seaside runs, hot springs, scenic spots, and historical remains.
A resort peninsula close to Tokyo
The Miura Peninsula area we will introduce this time is a resort area that can be reached in an hour from Tokyo, where you can enjoy seaside running, beautiful scenery, and delicious food. Although the area is not large, it will take more than a full day if you explore it thoroughly, but you can also enjoy it in half a day if you focus on the highlights. Many of the sights on the Miura Peninsula are on the sea side, and on a clear day you can see the sunset over Mt. Fuji from the Zushi side. This time, we will introduce some recommended spots on the Miura Peninsula!
Araki Park
You can enjoy one of the most beautiful views on the Miura Peninsula. You can see two types of scenery: "Sunset Hill (pictured)" and "Picnic Hill."
Yokosuka Onsen Hot Springs
This hot spring facility is located right next to Maborikaigan IC. After warming up in the observation bath with a view of the ocean, you can enjoy local specialties such as navy curry and tuna rice bowls.
Tomyodo Beach
It is a secluded beach with beautiful water and is also home to the Japanese-style lighthouse, Tomyodo Lighthouse.
Hamamoroiso
It's a bit of a walk, but the lighthouse is very cool!
Kannonzaki
It has a great view of Tokyo Bay, and there are remains of Japan's first Western-style lighthouse and artillery battery. The walking distance is surprisingly long, so you may sweat in the summer.
Jogashima
Umanose Cave Gate (left in the picture) is a 10-minute walk from the parking lot.
Misaki (tuna)
Miura is famous for its tuna. The recommended dish at Misaki Shichibeimaru is the live sashimi set meal, which is delicious!
Tsurugizaki
It is a famous spot for rock fishing, and because it is not tourist-oriented, it is a somewhat mystical place. Please be careful where you step.
Hiroyama Park
The view from nearby Osaki Park is also beautiful, but there is no parking, so I recommend Hiroyama Park, which has parking. There is also a zoo!
Miura Beach
This is a representative beach on the Miura Peninsula. There are McDonald's and restaurants along the road, so you can take a break while looking out at the sea.
Perry Park/Nobi Beach
It is a great place to see the monument where Perry once landed. The beach is quiet and relaxing.
National Historic Site Asahina Kiridoshi
The rugged mountain path was once an important trade route but is now a popular spot for hikers.
Chojagasaki
A scenic headland with a small beach, this is a popular spot for photographers and sunset lovers.
Manase Beach
At Manase Beach, located in the central part of Hayama Coast, Mount Fuji can sometimes be seen behind Hayama Lighthouse and Najima Island.
