#2024wish This is on the east end of the island along with the Jogashima Lighthouse on the west end are referred to as the “lighthouses in love.” Many couples visit this spot because it’s lucky for love. The Awasaki Lighthouse is 16-meters high and was constructed in 2020 with a motif of Miura Radish (famous local brand of agricultural product). The unique shape and the white and green gradations reminded us of radish and made a great contrast against green-grass field in the park. I want to travel to Jogashima Island again.

Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture ✨ I traveled to the Miura Peninsula to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms. You can get on a bus from Misaki Port and cross the bridge to Jogashima. This time, I used the Misaki Maguro Ticket, a discount ticket for Keihin Kyuko, to have lunch at Nakamuraya in Jogashima. There were table seats and tatami rooms inside the restaurant, but even on weekdays the seats were full and there was a line depending on the time of day. This time, I had a seafood bowl with the Misaki Maguro Ticket. It was very voluminous and the tuna was fresh. There was also alcohol, and the beer and seafood went perfectly together. And the Miura Peninsula is also a popular spot for Kawazu cherry blossoms. Please go and check it out. 📍 683 Jogashima, Misaki-cho, Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture 15 minutes by Keihin Kyuko bus to Jogashima #KanagawaTourism #KanagawaGourmet #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #SeafoodBowl #Kanagawa #Jogashima

Jogashima Bridge is located at the southern end of the Miura Peninsula, and is a steel box girder-style bridge with a length of 575 meters and a height of 23.5 meters over the Straits of the Miura Peninsula and Jogashima. Under the bridge, large ships of tuna deep-sea fishing at Misaki Port come and go, so there is a long bridge pier space of 95 meters in the center of the bridge. Steel box girders are adopted because it is necessary to reduce the weight of this central part. This center is vividly colored red. There is almost no land higher than the bridge around the bridge, so you can see a wide range of scenery. At a short time before sunrise, the fantastic scenery that only the white peaks of the mountains of Tanzawa shine in the morning sun can be seen from the Jogashima Ohashi Bridge, and it is a scene I would like to see if I have the opportunity. The passage of the bridge was charged for a long time, but it became free in 2020. It's one of the 100 best bridges in Kanagawa. #2024wish

Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Jogashima is located on the Miura Peninsula. It is easily accessible from Tokyo, and you can get there directly from Shinagawa. From Shinagawa, take the Keihin Kyuko Keikyu Main Line Limited Express bound for Misakiguchi. The journey takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The fare is ¥950. You can travel at a discount by using the Misaki Maguro Ticket, a discount ticket issued by Keihin Kyuko. You can get to Jogashima by bus from Misakiguchi Station. Please note that there are few direct buses to Jogashima. From Misaki Port, you can cross the bridge to Jogashima. The hiking trail is about 1.2 kilometers long, so it is an easy stroll. The hiking trail is divided into a rocky area along the sea, a sandy beach course, and a daffodil road on the hill. If you walk along the sea from Jogashima Lighthouse on the west side of the island, you can see a spectacular view. If you walk along the rocks and sandy beach, you will come across the Umanose Cave and the Cormorant Observatory, which are spectacular spots. I was simply moved by the magnificent views created by nature. There are several restaurants on the island where you can enjoy fresh seafood dishes. It can get a little crowded at lunchtime, but it's very good value for money and highly recommended. There are many cute, friendly cats on the island, which are very relaxing. Jogashima is full of charm!

It's just a little over an hour by train from the city center. Perfect for a short weekend day trip! Fun to ride! Delicious to eat! We went on a trip with our preschooler to Jogashima on the Miura Peninsula. A round-trip train ticket (you can get off at any stop along the way!) + Maguro Manpuku Ticket + Omohide Ticket for activities is a set that costs 3,750 yen per adult (weekday price), but I heard that you can get a great deal for 2,630 yen (weekday price) by using the currently available [Kanagawa Railway Discount], so I tried it 👀 I immediately used the "Omohide Ticket" on the [KEIKYU OPEN TOP BUS]! My child loves trains, and from the nearest Keikyu terminal station, Misakiguchi Station, there was a bus modeled after Keikyu's mascot character "Keikyu-kun," and we were lucky to be able to ride in the front row! If you take the bus from Misakiguchi, you will be in a long line, but it is worth it just to be able to sit down with a guaranteed seat🥺✨ My kids were happy just because the bus was designed like a Keikyu train, but since we had a guide, we arrived at Jogashima in no time while listening to a very educational story during the 30 minutes of the ride, saying things like "Wow" and "Oh, I see!" At Jogashima, we had a carefully selected tuna bowl with Shonan whitebait at [Iso Ryori Kanea]♡ The staff at the restaurant were very kind and gave our kids a great service🙇♀️ It gets crowded on weekends and holidays, so I recommend going there as soon as you arrive at Jogashima by bus. We enjoyed the great outdoors at the nearby park, lighthouse, and along the coast! #PR #Jogashima #Misakiguchi #Misaki tuna

Kainan Shrine in Jogashima. The shrine is located at the top of some steep stone steps. There is no one stationed there, and the grounds are not large, so it feels quite quiet. However, if you look back, you can see the ocean below you, as it is on high ground! Documents from the mid-Meiji period state that this shrine is a branch shrine of Kainan Shrine in Misaki. The Kainan Shrine in Misaki is also nearby, so it is definitely a place you should visit both. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Jogashima Kainan Shrine 🚌🚏Misakiguchi Station →🚏Jogashima Fishing Port →🚶‍♀️About 2 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Jogashima Kainan Shrine #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour #Kanagawa Trip #Kanagawa Sightseeing

Jogashima has been listed as a two-star destination in the revised third edition of Michelin Green Guide Japan. It has many scenic spots, with the southern hiking course offering views of the majestic Pacific Ocean and the strangely-shaped rock "Horseback Cave Mouth". A perfect hike for lovers ❤️ It's quite far to get there by bus.
