Before entering Hayama, we begin by paying our respects to the local deity—a very Japanese way to start the journey.

Morito Shrine is beautifully located between the forest and the sea, and is dedicated to a sea deity. It offers a peaceful atmosphere and stunning coastal views.

We will visit the Yamaguchi Hosyun Memorial Museum, the former residence and studio of a renowned Japanese-style painter.

Surrounded by a tranquil garden, the museum offers a glimpse into the life and work of the artist, blending traditional aesthetics with modern sensibilities. The space itself reflects a deep connection to nature, light, and seasonal beauty.

This quiet and intimate setting provides a unique opportunity to experience Japanese art in a more personal and inspiring way.

Rather than taking you to tourist-oriented restaurants, I would like to introduce you to local favorites that are loved by residents of the area.

We will visit the Museum of Modern Art, Hayama, a beautifully designed museum set along the coast.

Known for its clean, minimalist architecture, the museum harmonizes with the surrounding sea and sky. Inside, you can enjoy a thoughtful collection of modern and contemporary art, while large windows offer stunning ocean views that become part of the experience.

This unique space blends art, nature, and architecture, creating a calm and inspiring atmosphere.

We will visit Isshiki Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Japan.

Located near the Imperial Villa, this “royal beach” has long been loved by the Imperial Family and is known for having some of the clearest water in the area.

Here, it’s time to relax and unwind. With beautiful views of Mount Fuji on clear days, you can enjoy a peaceful moment by the sea and take in the natural beauty of Hayama.
