Located just south of Tokyo, Miura Peninsula is where you'll find Hayama's beautiful natural landscapes, Misaki's tasty tuna dishes, and the prosperous naval base of Yokosuka. There's just no end to the amount of unique sights and sounds to be enjoyed here!
If you're planning for a trip to as many towns on the peninsula as possible, you can't go wrong with any one of Keikyu's discount tickets - of which there are three we especially recommend: the Hayama Excursion Ticket, Misaki Maguro Ticket, and Yokosuka Mankitsu Ticket.
These tickets are special sets that come with (1) train and bus passes, (2) a meal ticket, and (3) a leisure facility or souvenir ticket. Each discount ticket will provide you with more than enough things to do for a day!
And we'll help too, with a comprehensive look into each of the tickets and how to best utilize the offers they come with.

Must-Visit Sightseeing Spots Accessible Using the Hayama Excursion Ticket
There are countless places suitable for a relaxing walk in Zushi/Hayama, but here are a few of our recommendations.
1) Morito Shrine
The de facto spot for spiritual rejuvenation in Hayama is Morito Shrine. On fair weather days, you can see all the way to Enoshima or Mount Fuji. The sunset here was listed as one of the top 50 most picturesque views of Kanagawa.
2) Hayama Marina
Hayama is also known as the yacht capital of Japan. Plenty of yachts and cruisers are parked side by side here, creating an iconic landscape that is uniquely Hayama. Ever dreamed of doing your shopping along the seaside with rows and rows of boats bobbing away in the background? now you can with Hayama Marina! For leisurely sightseeing around the sea of Enoshima, we recommend boarding the "Enoshima/Yujiro Lighthouse Cruising" pleasure boat. The normal price for entry is 3,240 yen, but if you present your Hayama Excursion Ticket, the price goes down to 2,160 yen.
3) Morito Beach and Isshoku Beach
Zushi/Hayama is located by the sea, so dedicate some time to taking slow strolls by the beach! Wouldn't it be nice to catch a sunset as you're lounging on a beach?
