Yokosuka Kaigan-dori

Yokosuka is a seaside town on Miura peninsula and the Yokosuka Kaigan-dori is the coastal road. On a clear day one can have a nice view of Mt. Fuji from different spots along the way.

I started my walk at Maborikaigon train station. From there it's a short walk to the seawall that runs parallel to the Yokosuka Kaigan-dori. We get our first view of Mt. Fuji. 

Following the road south and we have the next view spot. 

Time to head up hill. This is the Hashirimizu area.

A little bit farther up the hill and we have what I consider the best spot for viewing Fujisan. 

Since I'm using a zoom lens, I'll zoom in and a close-up. Well, as close-up as I can get. I think this is as good as it gets! But, there is one more spot!

This is the last spot and it's an official viewing spot. It's right next to a bus stop, there is a wood deck platform with benches and it overlooks the Hashirimizu fishing port. So, why isn't this the best spot? Because of the tree in the center of the bottom part of the picture. Without the tree in the way this wood be perfect. 

Farther down the Yokosuka Kaigan-dori is the wood promenade behind the Keikyu Hotel. This is also the same area as the Yokosuka Art Museum. 

On this particular day the wind was blowing and the waves were crashing.

A front row seat.

It starts as a big swell...

…and ends in a big crash!

Just past the promenade is the Kannozaki Lighthouse beach park. 

The landmass in the background is the Boso peninsula. 

The Yokosuka Kaigon-dori continues but I don't. 

The beach park is far enough for me today. Time to catch a bus and go home.

Thanks for stopping by!
