    Kanagawa Miura-shi Minamishitauramachi Matsuwa
    "A Western-style lighthouse on the southeastern tip of the Miura Peninsula illuminating the route to the Uraga Channel, the gateway to Tokyo Bay. It is located above the cliffs of Tsurugizaki, and has been designated among ""Kanagawa's Top 50 Scenic Spots."" The view is magnificent and even takes in the distant Boso Peninsula. There is also a beautiful reef you can see when descending from the lighthouse."

    剱崎灯台は元剣崎灯台と言い観音崎と違い観光ズレしていない飾り気のない灯台です でも凛としていて足元の岩場は遊べて海の灯台らしい所です 行くのが少し不便ですが比較的空いていてゆっくり見られる灯台です

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
