Ohayashi View Park, 神奈川県真鶴町の公園
Ohayashi View Park is a scenic viewpoint park in Manazuru situated on a small hill overlooking the coast and ocean. The grounds include a small golf course with well-maintained grass, barbecue areas for outdoor cooking, and an observatory at the edge where two small islands are visible on clear days.
The site has been used by fishermen for generations as a lookout point to watch the sea and spot weather changes. This area has a long history tied to fishing and local trade, with the views from this spot valued by people for many decades.
The park's name comes from Ohayashi, traditional music played at local festivals in the area. Visitors experience this cultural connection most strongly during spring cherry blossom season, when the community gathers to celebrate among the blooming trees.
The park is easy to reach from Manazuru town center, either on foot or by car, with parking available nearby and a gentle path suitable for all visitors. It remains open year-round except during New Year holidays and once monthly on a designated Wednesday.
Many visitors overlook that from the observatory at the park's edge, two small islands become visible on clear days - Hatsushima, relatively larger, and Oshima, which sits further away. This view subtly highlights how close the open sea actually is to the observation point.
