Pray for a safe trip at a hilltop hall overlooking the sea

About this spot

An old hall connected with the Nichiren sect (日蓮宗), standing on a cape overlooking the Kashiwazaki (柏崎) coastline. It is a place of note where Nichiren is said to have stopped on his way into exile on Sado (佐渡), and its appeal lies in sweeping views of the Sea of Japan (日本海) from the grounds. It is a short walk along the shore from the aquarium, and a spell spent looking down from the high ground at the sea you are about to swim in makes a fitting close to the morning's stroll. The stone steps and grounds have plenty of shade, making it an easy place to catch your breath even in the summer sun.

Tips

監視員配置日限定の開設なので、訪れる前に開設日を確認しておくと安心です。売店がないため、飲み物・軽食・日除けは事前に用意を。脱衣所は2箇所のみのため、混雑する時間帯は着替えに少し時間がかかることも想定しておきましょう。営業終了は16時なので、片付けと着替えの時間を見込んで15分前には切り上げるのがおすすめです。

Tips

Within walking distance of the aquarium along the shore. There are steps up to the grounds, so with a stroller it is also fine to enjoy the sea view from near the entrance rather than pushing on. The summer sun is strong, so do not forget a hat and plenty to drink.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. Mornings see fewer visitors, so you can pray in peace
