Hayama, Coastal town in Miura Peninsula, Japan.
Hayama is a town at the northern end of Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture, stretching along Sagami Bay. The coastline alternates between small sand beaches, rocky sections, and wooded slopes that descend gently toward the water, forming a series of inlets.
Six small villages merged into a single municipality in 1889, which later received town status. The emperor chose this location for his seaside retreat already in the late nineteenth century.
The emperor maintains a seaside residence here, which shapes the coastline profile. Many visitors recognize the tended pine groves and calm beaches that serve as a retreat, where locals and guests relax at sunset and take in views toward Mount Fuji.
Travelers take a train to Zushi Station and transfer to a local bus that serves different parts of the town. The beaches lie only a few minutes' walk from the stops, and paths along the coast are mostly easy to navigate.
An art museum near the water rotates its exhibitions several times a year, showing work from Japan and Europe. The building itself stands on a hillside and offers windows with bay views between the gallery spaces.
