Meeting Point
JR Zushi station or Zushi Hayama station
- To make your trip as easy as possible, I can pick you up at either JR Zushi Station or Keikyu Zushi-Hayama Station—just let me know which location works best for you.
Isshiki Beach
Isshiki Beach is a hidden-gem beach that can only be reached by bus from the nearest station. Known for having some of the clearest water in the Shonan area, it offers a more relaxed and authentic atmosphere than many of the region’s better-known beaches.
Because access is not always straightforward, many visitors would never discover this special place on their own. Having grown up at Isshiki Beach and with many local friends and families in the area, I can offer a warm, friendly, and truly local experience.
I can also help arrange rentals for stand-up paddleboards (SUP), bodyboards, and inflatable floats, so you can make the most of your day by the sea.
Food, snacks, and drinks—including alcoholic beverages—are available for purchase directly at the beach houses. You are free to choose whichever beach house you like and order on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Come enjoy a relaxing beach day like a local and experience one of Hayama’s best-kept secrets.
The beach houses offer convenient facilities, including hot showers.
Please bring your own swimsuit if possible. If you don’t have one, I can take you to a nearby local shop where you can purchase swimwear before heading to the beach.
To help keep your luggage light, I can also provide beach towels upon request. Just let me know in advance, and I’ll be happy to prepare them for you.
Sunset time
As the day comes to an end, you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the ocean. If you’re lucky, you may also catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji glowing in the colors of the setting sun—a truly unforgettable sight.
Dinner
After a fun-filled day at the beach, you can relax and enjoy dinner at one of the beach houses, beautifully illuminated by warm evening lights.
Listen to the sound of the waves, savor delicious food, and soak in the laid-back atmosphere by the sea.
It’s the perfect way to end a summer day and create unforgettable memories with family, friends, or loved ones.
Let the ocean breeze, the sound of the waves, and a wonderful dinner become part of your special summer experience.
Ending Point
JR Zushi station or Zushi Hayama station
