Where to stay in Shonan

Katasekaigan

While you're in Katasekaigan, take in top sights like Enoshima Aquarium and jump on the metro at Shonan-Enoshima Station to see more of the city.

Katasekaigan
Every year in summer, a Star Festival is held called Tanabata. Two star deities, Orihime and Hikoboshi, can meet each other in the night sky. Theirs is a tragic love story, but children celebrate them by writing wishes on streamers to fly to the heavens. This festival is a major event in Sendai, but it's smaller cousin in Hiratsuka is also impressive and a lot of fun! Wear your yukata or jinbei!

Nanasawa Onsen

You'll enjoy the restaurants and museums in Nanasawa Onsen. You might want to make time for a stop at Hiratsuka Museum of Art or Hiratsuka Hachiman-gu Shrine.

Zaimokuza
After climbing through the Kamakura hill trails, we came across the Kamakura Buddha statue. It is an amazing sight and hot to the touch as the sun bakes its metal surface. #adventure

If you're spending some time in Hase, Great Buddha and Hasedera are top sights worth seeing.
