In summer the car park costs 2,200 yen, and after closing time you cannot get out until morning.

A rocky cape that cuts the Hayama coast in two, emptier than the beaches to the north because it is not comfortable to stay on: the ground is rock and you need shoes. To make up for it, from here the sun sets behind Mount Fuji. ⚠️ The car park has strict rules: in summer it costs up to 2,200 yen and closes at a set time, and anyone still inside cannot get out until the next morning.

A rocky promontory on the southern coast of Hayama, one of Kanagawa Prefecture's fifty selected scenic spots. It separates the beach of the same name from the stretch of coast towards Akiya.
