Ōiso Beach on Sagami Bay

A Storied Seaside Resort

Ōiso holds a special place in Japanese history as the country's first designated sea-bathing resort, opened in 1885. Since then its gentle sands have drawn visitors seeking the open air of Sagami Bay, and this camera frames the same broad beach that has welcomed generations of bathers.

The Harbor and Breakwaters

In the middle distance a line of concrete breakwaters and tetrapods guards the coastline, forming a calm basin for the Ōiso fishing port. Small craft move in and out of the harbor, and the engineered defenses give the shore its distinctive layered silhouette.

Views Toward the Miura Peninsula

Looking out across the bay, the horizon carries the low profile of the Miura Peninsula and, in exceptional conditions, distant landmarks far beyond. The ever-shifting surface of the sea makes each glance at this stretch of coast feel different.
