About this spot

This is a seaside park in Sodegaura City facing Tokyo Bay. The sea opens up beyond a wide lawn, and you can take in a view unique to this area, with the townscape of the opposite shore and a line of factories stretching along it. Because it is an open place with nothing to block the view, the wind blows through and the seaside feels a little cooler even in high summer. There are benches and lawns, making it an ideal spot to spread out a leisure sheet and eat your lunch box. On a day with water play ahead in the afternoon, the right balance is not to eat too much here and not to let your body get too cold.

Tips

There is little shade, so a hat and sunscreen are essential. It is close to the sea and the wind can be strong on some days, so weights for your leisure sheet are reassuring. Always take your rubbish home with you. Spots with the best views can be right by the railings, so do not take your eyes off small children. Checking where the toilets are when you arrive lets you relax afterwards.
