This historic coastal district preserves the essence of a traditional Japanese fishing village. Koshigoe Harbour stretches along Sagami Bay with wooden piers and weathered fishing boats. The area connects to Japan's feudal past through sites like the ancient Koshigoe Checkpoint ruins. Along the waterfront promenade, visitors can stroll with stunning views of Enoshima Island.

Literary enthusiasts appreciate the monument to famous haiku poet Matsuo Basho who once wrote about these crashing waves.
Hase

The 13th-century bronze Great Buddha sits majestically in Kotoku-in's peaceful courtyard. Nearby, Hase-dera Temple cascades down hillsides with thousands of stone jizo statues and stunning seasonal hydrangeas. Traditional tea houses serve authentic Buddhist vegetarian cuisine amid serene temple gardens. Narrow, contemplative streets connect sacred sites where temple bells echo across the landscape. Morning brings local worshippers while afternoon welcomes respectful visitors, maintaining the district's perfect balance of active worship and thoughtful tourism.

Ofuna connects travellers with its major transit hub and iconic white Buddhist statue. This authentic Japanese area balances quiet residential streets with excellent railway connections. The towering Ofuna Kannon Temple creates a dramatic focal point against surrounding green hills. Temple grounds offer peaceful gardens for contemplation while local shops and eateries cluster near the station. Trains depart frequently to Tokyo, Yokohama and Kamakura. The area maintains its genuine suburban Japanese character with minimal tourist infrastructure beyond the temple.
