If you do not want to go sightseeing in too many crowds in the Corona Vortex, or if you want to know the hole-in-the-wall spots where there are few people, here are some of the best spots in Kanagawa. Even well-known scenic spots in Kanagawa can become a hole-in-the-wall spot if you choose the right season and time of day. On the other hand, please note that they can be crowded depending on the season and time of day.

Mitsuishi Coast
The reefs on the Manazuru Peninsula are called Mitsuishi because they look like three stones, and the three stones can be seen on the beach. Since the appearance of the rocks changes depending on the angle, it is recommended to take a walk and look for a spot with a spectacular view. It is also famous as a spot for the first sunrise of the year, as the first sunrise can be seen beautifully through the rocks. The beach itself is wide and usually not that crowded, so it is recommended.
When you can walk across!
Depending on the low tide, visitors can walk across the rocks and observe sea creatures. So at high tide, visitors can enjoy the scenery, and at low tide, they can play on the rocks.
Mitsuishi is located 200 meters from the beach, so be careful of waves and other obstacles even at low tide and wear sneakers to cross. There is also a viewing plaza, a coffee shop, and a store, so you can take your time and enjoy the view.
