Sea bathing until evening on calm sands facing Sagami Bay

About this spot

A swimming beach spreading along Yoshihama Beach in Yugawara Town. In 2026 it is open from Saturday, July 11 to Monday, August 31, with swimming hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The sands facing Sagami Bay have a calm atmosphere where families can enjoy water play at an unhurried pace. Behind you can see the Hakone mountains, and the gentle scenery unique to a hot-spring town is another of its charms. Beach huts line the sand, offering meals, rest and showers.

Season & hours

Tips

It can be reached by bus or on foot from JR Yugawara Station. Swimming is free; rest at the beach huts and showers are paid. Summer sand gets hot, so flip-flops are essential. Swimming ends at 5:00 p.m., so allowing time to change and wrapping up 15 minutes beforehand is recommended.

Best time to visit

From just after 2:00 p.m. the sun softens a little, leaving plenty of afternoon time to swim until evening
