真鶴半島

Manazuru enjoys a mild climate throughout the year and has long been loved as a resort destination by many cultural figures. In the Meiji era, painter Katsumi Miyake, who resided in Manazuru, likened its picturesque scenery to the scenic areas of the Mediterranean, praising it as the "Riviera of the Orient."

With excellent access from Tokyo and Yokohama, Manazuru serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby tourist destinations such as Yugawara, Hakone, Odawara, and Atami. However, the town has also established its own unique "the Standards of Beauty" to preserve its harmonious landscape, resisting the waves of resort development during the bubble economy era. Strolling through the sloping streets lined with houses and the nostalgic "Setomichi" paths, you'll feel a sense of lightness in your heart as you take in the charming port town scenery.

Manazuru is also a town of gourmet delights and leisure. The rich nutrients flowing from "Ohayashi," one of the largest coastal forests in the Tokyo metropolitan area with trees over 300 years old, combined with the "Donbuka" topography, where the seabed drops steeply close to the shore, result in a diverse variety of delicious fish. At Toyosu Market, fish caught in Manazuru are considered top-quality. The area also boasts a warm climate ideal for cultivating citrus fruits on its slopes. Moreover, Manazuru is regarded as the birthplace of recreational diving in Japan, offering a wide range of activities for all ages and seasons, including diving, swimming, tide pooling, fishing, boating, and picking mandarins.

COUSCOUS Glamping Manazuru is located on a hill overlooking this charming town. To the northeast, you can admire Sagami Bay and the Miura Peninsula, while to the southwest, you can enjoy views of the coastlines of Yugawara and Atami.

We invite you to visit our facility and discover the unique charm of Manazuru and its surrounding areas!

Manazuru Cape and Mitsuishi Coast

Descending the stairs from the tip of Manazuru Cape, you'll find Mitsuishi, means Three Rocks, a renowned power spot famous for its breathtaking view of the first sunrise of the year rising between the rocks (also visible during the summer solstice!). You can walk to the rocks during low tide.

The surrounding rocky area is also a popular spot for shore fishing.

Ohayashi

The largest "Fish-Breeding Protection Forest" in the Kanto region, this forest is a symbol of Manazuru's rich marine environment. Its origins date back to the Edo period, when the Great Meireki Fire created a high demand for timber, prompting the shogunate to plant a large number of pine trees. During the Meiji to early Showa periods, it was designated as Imperial Forest land and closed to the public.

Today, the forest is home to towering black pines and camphor trees, with well-maintained paths perfect for jogging and cycling.

Manazuru Port

Manazuru Port, lined with many restaurants, is bustling with tourists. Every last Sunday of the month, the "Nabura Market" is held. It is the center of Manazuru tourism, offering leisure activities such as breakwater fishing, sightseeing boats, and yacht experiences.

Nearby is "Shitodo no Iwaya Cave", where it is said that Minamoto no Yoritomo the Samurai Leader once hid.

Kotogahama Coast

Kotogahama is a rocky beach, so it's not suitable for swimming, but it is a hub for tide-pooling! With an easy-to-walk promenade, parking, and restroom facilities, you can explore the tidal pools and encounter various sea creatures. In summer, you may even witness a magical sight as nocturnal insects emerge, creating a stunning glow. Known as the birthplace of recreational scuba diving in Japan, it's also a great spot for adults to try diving or snorkeling.

Iwa Beach

If you want to enjoy swimming in Manazuru, this is the place. It's a small beach, but it's easily accessible from the station, and during the summer, a water park is set up, making it a hidden gem. It's also known as the place where Minamoto no Yoritomo the Samurai set sail.

Seto-michi streets

The "Setomichi" (Back Alley) winds through the streets lined with houses on the bowl-shaped terrain leading toward Manazuru Port. With its charming manhole covers, pleasant scents wafting through the air, and sudden glimpses of breathtaking ocean views, there are new discoveries to be made every time you visit. It's become a quiet trend among walking enthusiasts. Despite being a first-time visit, there's a nostalgic feel to the place, and today, curious visitors once again find themselves getting lost in this unique atmosphere.

On the way from the station to Manazuru Port, if you randomly turn into one of the narrow alleys, you'll find yourself on Setomichi.
