Tsumada Yakushi

Tsumada Yakushi

The temple enshrines Yakushi Nyorai, known as the Buddha who saves people from illness, injury, and other suffering. In particular, the dumplings served on the temple fair, also known as "omedama-san," are said to be beneficial for eye diseases. There are many cultural assets on the temple grounds, including the Yakushido Hall, camphor tree, and bronze bell. The current Yakushido was reconstructed in 1758, but the raigo-hashira (pillars that surround the kitchen) are the same as those used when the temple was rebuilt in 1584. It is written in the Shinpen Sagami-no-Kuni Fudoki Manuscript that the earlier building was destroyed by fire during the attack on Odawara Castle by the Takeda clan in 1569. The temple is open to the public once every 60 years on the Kanoetora anniversary of the opening of the main sanctuary. The next one will be in 2070.

Umi no koen (Marine Park)

Umi no koen (Marine Park)

This is Yokohama's only park featuring a seaside swimming beach! Along the coastline, a sandy beach lush with greenery stretches approximately 1 kilometer, making the perfect space for visitors to interact with the ocean. Despite its natural appearance, this sandy beach was artificially created using sand transported from Chiba Prefecture. Today, it is home to numerous creatures such as crabs and clams. In early spring, visitors can enjoy clam digging, and in summer, the beach comes alive with the start of swimming season. The calm waves and gently sloping shoreline make it the ideal beach for sand play and windsurfing. The park also features marine sport facilities like beach volleyball courts and a windsurfing storage shed. In addition, the Nagisa Plaza hosts a grass field suitable for soccer and other fun, as well as a barbecue area, allowing visitors to enjoy a variety of seaside leisure activities.
