Standing on a hill, a photogenic ruin like a beautiful castle. A rare site of racetrack stands in Negishi Forest Park, and there're also a horse museum and pony center near here.◎Can't go inside it now, but just the exterior is impressive. It's nice to stop by during you drive because it has a parking lot.

Located at Yokosuka, Sarushima Island is a desert island, and the biggest and only site of fort in Tokyo Bay. There're battery sites and long tunnels built by red bricks. Fantastic scenery of lush nature covering the desert place is like a world of 'Laputa' in a Ghibli Movie 'Castle In The Sky'. ◎Almost all of the island is used as Sarushima Park now, and you can enjoy fishing, BBQ, sea bathing and so on. Access: Firstly, you need to go to Mikasa Pier. It's too far to walk from JR Yokosuka Station, but from Keikyu Yokosuka Chuou Station to the pier is only 15 min walk. Then, 10min by ferry to from Mikasa Pier to Sarushima, though there's only one ferry in one hour. I could see around the island in one hour!

In Kamakura, here's a spot with the strongest energy for success and better fortune in life. The precinct is wrapped with sacred atmosphere, and through the approach with many torii gates and red dedicated flags, there're a worship hall and a main shrine. I like the mood with many Oinari-san (goddess of farm products that is symbolized as a fox) and moss-covered nature.◎20 min walk from JR Kamakura Station's East Gate. Or, get on a bus from Kamakura Station to Haseoyato. Sasuke Inari Shrine and Ugafuku Shrine famous for Zeniarai Benzaiten (money-cleaning goddess) are located very close, so you must visit together.

Tenkei-san Gyokuhoji Temple (byname: Gohyaku-Rakan) was built by a vassal of Hojo Family. The main temple has, relatively small, 25-60cm tall, 526 Rakan statues with various faces. The scene of the temple filled up with the statues is really overwhelming!◎Access: From Odawara Station, take Daiyuzan Line to Gohyaku-Rakan Station. Easy access from there.
