Inamuragasaki Park
稲村ヶ崎公園
A small cape park jutting into Sagami Bay, one of the best places in Shonan to watch the sunset over Mount Fuji, and the ancient battleground where Nitta Yoshisada attacked Kamakura.
Inamuragasaki is a small headland jutting into the sea between Yuigahama and Shichirigahama, developed as a prefectural park. From the tip of the cape, looking west, the Shichirigahama coast, Enoshima and Mount Fuji line up in one view. On clear winter days the sunset silhouette is one of Shonan's most classic images, and the spot was selected as one of the “50 Scenic Places of Kanagawa.” Legend says that in 1333 Nitta Yoshisada threw his sword into the sea, causing the tide to recede, and he then attacked Kamakura from here and brought down the Kamakura shogunate. A monument stands in the park. Admission is free. It is about a 5-minute walk from Inamuragasaki Station on the Enoden. Arriving about 30 minutes before sunset is best, and bring warm clothing since the sea breeze is strong.
