  • Enoshima Sea Candle
    Travel / Tourism
    Kanagawa Pref. Fujisawashi Enoshima 2-3 (Enoshima Samuel Cocking Sononai)
    Built in 1951 as a viewing platform and lighthouse, the Enoshima Sea Candle was the first private lighthouse in Japan. The building was renovated in 2003 as part of the events celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Enoshima Electric Railway. Providing sweeping views of the sun setting into the ocean and Kamakura’s nightscape from 100 meters above the sea, the tower is quite popular with visitors. At night, the Sea Candle and surrounding area are lit up, creating a wondrous spectacle.

    Kanagawa Pref. Yokohamashi Nishi-ku Minatomirai 2-2-1 Yokohama Landmark Tower 69F
    The Sky Garden is the 69th floor observation deck of the Yokohama Landmark Tower located a three minute walk from Minatomirai Station. 273 meters above the ground, it takes around 40 seconds to reach the Sky Garden from the first floor using the fastest elevator in Japan. A single floor observation space is walled in by four giant windows, giving visitors a sweeping view of the streets of Yokohama and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji. The night view from the deck is particularly beautiful and the Sky Garden is a popular date spot. The Sky Garden café serves a variety of items to enjoy with the view.

  • Mitsuishi Rocks
    Travel / Tourism
    Kanagawa Pref. Ashigarashimogunmanadurumachi Manaduru
    This scenic spot on the Manazuru Peninsula has been selected as one of the top 50 views in Kanagawa Prefecture. The three enormous formations that constitute the Mitsuishi Rocks rise from the water at the tip of the Manazuru Peninsula. Manazuru Peninsula is said to have been created from a lava dome produced by the Hakone volcano that erupted from the seabed. A roughly 20-meter high cliff extends down its coast and a shore reef reaches about 200 meters from Manazuru Cape, so you can walk across to the rocks at low tide. It is a popular spot for exploring the rocky shore with the superb view stretched out before you.

  • Cross Gate Rooftop Garden
    Travel / Tourism
    Kanagawa Yokohama-shi Naka-ku Sakuragicho 1-101-1 Cross Gate
    This garden is located on the roof of the Cross Gate shopping mall connected directly to Sakuragicho Station and a one-minute walk from the station. The garden is positioned directly under the square gate that is the facility's namesake. Located at the entrance to Minato Mirai 21, visitors can get a sweeping view of the surrounding scenery, including the Bay Bridge and Cosmo Clock. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the park is a little-known night view spot, and evening visitors can take their time and take in the sparkling lights of the city in peace and quiet. In addition to a wood terrace which visitors can use to relax, a fun beer garden opens up here from June to around September.

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
