Tateishi Park 立石公園
A tiny seaside park in Akiya on the Miura coast, named after a 12 m pine-topped rock that, with Mount Fuji behind it at sunset, is one of the "50 views of Kanagawa".
About
Tateishi Park is little more than a car park, a few benches and a rocky shore, but the view is famous. The tall standing rock (tateishi) with pines on top rises from the sea, and on clear days Mount Fuji appears behind it across Sagami Bay. Utagawa Hiroshige depicted the spot in his prints, and today photographers gather at sunset, especially in winter. A small sandy beach and rocky shelves on either side are good for tide pools.
Highlights
- Pine-topped 12 m standing rock with Mount Fuji behind it
- Spot depicted by Hiroshige in ukiyo-e prints
- Winter sunsets over Sagami Bay
- Rocky shore with tide pools
Tips
- Fuji is most reliable on clear winter days; the sun sets directly behind it around certain dates in winter.
- Buses from Zushi or Hayama toward Misaki stop at Tateishi.
- It is small: combine with Morito or Isshiki beaches further north.
- Parking is free but small and fills up at sunset on weekends.
