Manazuru, Coastal resort town in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Manazuru extends into Sagami Bay on a small peninsula formed by solidified lava, featuring mountains in the north and limited flat areas throughout the region.
The town gained prominence during the Edo period for its high-quality Komatsu stone production, becoming an established village in 1889 and receiving town status in 1927.
The Kibune Festival at Kifune-jinja Shrine, designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, stands among Japan's three largest ship festivals every July.
Visitors can reach Manazuru via JR Tokaido Line from Tokyo Station, with the journey taking approximately one hour and forty-five minutes by train.
The peninsula contains three distinctive rocks known as Mitsuishi at Cape Manazuru, where people gather to observe the first sunrise of the New Year.
