Where to stay in Shonan

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!

Koshigoe
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
