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.

En’no-ji Temple

En’no-ji Temple

This statue of King Enma was carved in 1250 and was initially situated on a mountain in front of the Hase Kannon. After the fated downfall of the Kamakura Shogunate, Ashikaga Takauji moved it to the left, facing the sea at the Ichino-torii gate, to mourn the departed souls of Yuhigahama, the site of the decisive battle. The temple was again damaged by a major earthquake during the Genroku era (1688-1704), and was moved to its present location. The Ten Kings of Ennoji Temple, centering on King Yama, depict the judgment of those who were condemned to hell for their sins during their lifetime. The temple is still widely worshipped as a Jizo temple.
