Where to stay in Shonan

Every year in summer, a Star Festival is held called Tanabata. Two star deities, Orihime and Hikoboshi, can meet each other in the night sky. Theirs is a tragic love story, but children celebrate them by writing wishes on streamers to fly to the heavens. This festival is a major event in Sendai, but it's smaller cousin in Hiratsuka is also impressive and a lot of fun! Wear your yukata or jinbei!

Nanasawa Onsen

Koshigoe

The beaches and monuments are just a few things visitors like about Koshigoe. Katase Higashihama Beach and Koshigoe Fishing Port are worthwhile spots to check out, and you can hop on the metro at Mejiroyamashita Station or Nishi-Kamakura Station to get around the larger area.

Koshigoe
After climbing through the Kamakura hill trails, we came across the Kamakura Buddha statue. It is an amazing sight and hot to the touch as the sun bakes its metal surface. #adventure

Hase

If you're spending some time in Hase, Great Buddha and Hasedera are top sights worth seeing.
