小坪
A small fishing village with views of Mount Fuji and summer Ayu Festival.
A similar view of Hiroyama Koen, but further away with fewer facilities. Fewer visitors come here.
A crescent-shaped beach about a couple kilometers long. Mt. Fuji is visible on a clear day from the south end of the beach. Has a pleasant atmosphere in the off-season with people flying kites, walking their dogs, or windsurfing in the bay. In the summer (the end of June-the end of August), it becomes a swimming beach and is a host to a number of beach houses, which feature food and drinks, and live music.
Kanagawa-ken Zushi-shi, Shinjuku 1-3-15, 046-870-6440. 11:00-23:00. Large Italian restaurant with ocean and Fuji views. Pizza is made in a wood stove (specialty is Quattro Formaggi). Lunch sets are much cheaper than dinner and served quite late.
Set in a small old Japanese house with a nice atmosphere, it has a different chef everyday of the week serving meals (Japanese, Italian, Indian) with fresh ingredients. Lunches are usually about ¥1,000. Other times of the day, they play films (documentaries or art films) for ¥1,500, including a drink.
Seafood. No English. Mains around ¥3000.
