2026 One-Day Course: A Cool Stroll Through Ohayashi Observation Park (Manazuru Peninsula Forest)

This is a day for enjoying the cool shade of the forest and the sea breeze at Ohayashi Observation Park (お林展望公園), which spreads out near the tip of the Manazuru Peninsula. The deep forest known as Ohayashi (お林), which covers the peninsula, is shaded by towering camphor and black pine trees, so the park stays shady even on days with strong sunshine. Beyond the lawn plaza, the view opens up over the Izu Peninsula and Sagami Bay, and the breeze rising from the sea feels wonderful, making it a perfect outing even in the lingering heat of September or October. The park is open from 9:00 to 16:00 (last admission 15:00), and is closed on the third Wednesday of every month and during the New Year holidays. There are restrooms in the park. This course stops in the morning at Kifune Shrine (貴船神社), which overlooks Manazuru Port, and the Endo Shell Museum (遠藤貝類博物館) at Cape Manazuru (ケープ真鶴) at the tip of the peninsula, then spends the hot afternoon hours relaxing in the forest-and-sea-breeze park.
