Miura attractions

The Miura Peninsula (三浦半島) extends like an appendage into Pacific, guarding the mouth of Tokyo Bay. While Yokosuka and Kamakura lie on either side of the base of the peninsula, the lower region has numerous small towns and beaches on the coastline.
  • The long, curving Miura Beach (三浦海岸) on the southern edge is a popular resort spot. When summer comes to Miura Beach, a lot of beach huts spring up. You can eat many foods in these beach huts, for example seafood, meats, noodles and so on. At the end of August, fireworks displays take place at Miura Beach. This is a very interesting event. The fireworks at Miura Beach are very beautiful and enjoyed by many. If you go to Miura Beach at the end of August, make sure you stay to see the fireworks.
  • Keikyu Aburatsubo Marine Park (京急油壺マリンパーク), . On the west coast, has the the usual attractions such as penguins and dolphins performing for spectators, though animal welfare issues are a concern.
  • Jōgashima (城ヶ島) is a small island lying just off the extremity of the Miura Peninsula, connected by a short bridge to the mainland.

The island has plenty of seafood restaurants and a resort hotel. To get to Jogashima, take the Keikyu Line (from Shinagawa via Yokohama) to the end of the line at Misakiguchi, then catch the #9 bus.
