2025 Hiratsuka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

3S HOTEL HIRATSUKA 24-9 Akashicho, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa TEL 0460-20-2233 Hiratsuka is 35 minutes away from Yokohama Station on the JR Tokaido Line. It is famous for its Tanabata Festival, and is one of the relay points for the Hakone Ekiden. Chigasaki City, famous for Southern All Stars, is also next door. This hotel is about a 6-minute walk from Hiratsuka Station. The hotel is located in an arcade street, and there are many restaurants and cafes around the hotel, making it a convenient location. The hotel's selling point is its sauna. It is only for men, but guests can use it for free. You can't go outside, but there is an open-air bathing area, so it's really relaxing. The hotel itself seems to have many single rooms, so I think it's suitable for men on a weekend solo trip. #Hiratsuka #Shonan

📍PEPPERS DRIVE-IN Address: 1129-1 Jodokoro, Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, 254-0005 If you're driving through Shonan, this American diner is a must-visit 🇺🇸. However, it's located inland in Hiratsuka, away from the sea, so you might be surprised thinking, "Is it really in such a rural area?" While diners often bring hamburgers to mind, this one specializes in curry 🍛. The price increases as you add toppings, but even with toppings, you can enjoy a satisfying and delicious curry for around 1,500–1,800 yen! The interior is filled with vintage toys collected by the owner as a hobby, making it endlessly entertaining to look around. The exterior is also charming, making it a great spot for photos!

Wagyu beef yakiniku specialty store Niku Yururi. Located in the arcade at the north exit of Hiratsuka, this restaurant has a lively exterior 😃 The interior is also a nice space, with each table being like a semi-private room, so you can enjoy your meal at your own pace 😃 You can choose not only tongue but also a variety of meats, all served with salt ✨ The liver was plump and delicious 😋 Not only was it a stylish restaurant, but you could also enjoy the taste of the ingredients ✨ 📍Address: 2F Nakajima Building, 9-18 Beniya-cho, Hiratsuka-shi, Kanagawa 254-0043 #EnjoyJapan #Kanagawa #Hiratsuka #HiratsukaGourmet #Yakiniku #YakinikuDinner

15 minutes by car from Hiratsuka Station. This restaurant suddenly appears on a road filled with mountains and nature 🚗 I thought it was a hamburger restaurant, but it was actually a curry restaurant 🍛 You choose the size and spiciness of the base curry, and then you can choose your toppings from scratch. I thought that the toppings I chose would be added when there were several toppings, so I checked only avocado, and when I got only avocado, I understood the system lol 🥑 It was a nostalgic curry with a comforting taste 😌♡ Since I was there, I also ordered an American chocolate sundae and melon cream soda. Suddenly the tables are American🇺🇸 The 360-degree American decor makes me feel cheerful☀️ I went there for this reason, and I'm really satisfied💯 📍Address: 1129-1, Jodo, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa 254-0005 🕰️Business hours: 11:30-14:45 18:00-20:00 (Saturdays and Sundays 11:30-16:00/Closed on Wednesdays) #0 yen trip #Hiratsuka #Hiratsuka gourmet #American restaurant

You can eat the popular hamburger steak at Jiweiwu without waiting in line Extremely delicious ジ・アウトレットShōnan Hiratsuka The extremely popular Gokumi-ya hamburger steak in Tokyo is said to be so popular that you have to queue for more than an hour to get it. You can find it here. You don't have to queue up and you don't have to worry about not getting a seat. It's at THE OUTLETS SHONAN 湘南ＨｉｔｕKA outlets.

#Spring0yentrip 📍Location: Isoppe 54-2 Karagahara, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa 254-0826 💰Price per person: 2000 yen ----------------- This is a photo of Isoppe, a seafood restaurant in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, and the nearby bridge, Hanamizu Ohashi. Feeling the Shonan breeze while walking along the sea is a delicious meal. The tempura bowl in the photo is recommended at this restaurant. You will be overwhelmed by its luxury as you can see it immediately. Of course, the taste was also very good, and the moistness of the sauce and the crispness of the tempura were just the right balance, so I was able to eat it without getting bored.

This beautiful waterfall - Misty Waterfall, is like an elegant water curtain leaning against the mountain wall. The water of the waterfall spirals from top to bottom, like an elegant dancer dancing. 💧 Approaching the mist, we can see the waterfall is surrounded by greenery and leafy trees surrounding the "dancer". Water spray and mist are flying in the air, as if traveling through a fairyland and being in a beautiful dream. You can reach out and touch the water lines of the waterfall. The wet touch is particularly cool and solid. 🌿 Such a magnificent sight is definitely worth seeing for yourself! Come to the mist and wander among the poetic mountains and rivers, you will definitely be able to cleanse your soul and regain your inner peace. 🗻 #ShizuokaPrefecture #KRISTORY OF TAKI #JejingWaterfall #QushuiScenery #JapaneseNaturalWonder #山明水秀 #TokyoAttractions

#0yentrip I went to Hiratsuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan! Location: New Rose The number of seats is unknown, but the curry rice is good value for money. Don't forget to take photos inside the cute pink walls! We recommend the delicious and spicy authentic curry and the cute pink walls of the restaurant. Description: New Rose is a popular local cafe, and its curry rice is especially popular. It's a restaurant on the western edge of Hiratsuka that advertises itself as modern Japanese curry! It was surprisingly voluminous, but the oil wasn't too heavy, so I was able to finish it all. The restaurant was clean and the shape of the rice was beautiful, so it was fun to look at and delicious! It may get crowded depending on the time you go!!

Shonan Cookies are only sold in the Shonan area, but this is the Shonan Cookie Outlet, a factory-direct store with a line of vending machines selling sweets 24 hours a day. The vending machines and products are lined up, from small packs that cost less than 100 yen to large packs. The main product is cookies, but they also have rice crackers! This time I purchased a pack of four "White Sand Beach" (100 yen) and a pack of six "Jako Kawara" (170 yen). The White Sand Beach is a gentle cookie. The Jako Kawara is an unusual cookie with lots of small fish seasoned with mirin scattered all over it. 2.2km from JR Hiratsuka Station Shonan Cookie Outlet 2-8-26 Higashi-Yahata, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa 254-0016 #Kanagawa #Hiratsuka #HiratsukaSweets #Outlet #KanagawaSweets #OutletSweets #VendingMachineSweets #HiratsukaWalking #HiratsukaTrip #HiratsukaSightseeing #KanagawaWalking #KanagawaSightseeing #KanagawaTrip #MeAndMyTravels

Hiratsuka Hachimangu Shrine can be seen by going straight down Festa Road from JR Hiratsuka Station. The grounds are surrounded by quiet greenery. There are carp in the pond.
