    神奈川県最大の観光牧場で都心からアクセスしやすいです。ポニー、ヤギ、ヒツジ、牛といった動物と距離が近く触れ合えます。牛の乳しぼりも体験できるのでファミリー向けな牧場かとも思います。ここのイチオシはソフトクリームとジェラートで休日は長蛇の列です。特にジェラートは種類が多くて選ぶのに迷います。入場料と駐車料金は無料ですが休日は駐車場が500円と有料になります。お土産のソーセージも美味しいけど牧場にあり...

    Kanagawa Pref. Iseharashi Oyama 724
    "This temple is located in Oyama, Isehara City. Founded in the year 755 by the Buddhist monk Roben, founder of Todaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture. Its primary object of worship is the Oyamafudozo statue cast by the Buddhiest priest Gangyo Shonin in 1264. A number of sacred places were established around the temple when the Buddhiest monk Kukai served as its chief priest. These sacred grounds are worshiped even today as part of a creed known as Oyama Nanafushigi (the Seven Wonders of Oyama). Visitors to the temple can perform a ritual called ""kawara nage"" in which sundried earthenware are thrown off a cliff to ward off evil and misfortune."

    Amazing red leaves around Oyama temple. Luckily I could see Kokuhou (national treasure) which was limited time available to visitors! Fudomyouou statue was great!

    プラネタリウムもあるし、展示物も立派で相模原市の規模の博物館としては頑張っていると感じる施設です。規模は小さい部類に入りますが県立や歴史ある100万人規模の政令指定都市の施設と同じレベルのものです。

    ダムを見に行ったついでに立ち寄りました。小学4年息子はしくみを理解したかは不明ですがペダルを漕いで発電させる体験展示に食いついていました。年中娘には難しいものが多かったですが、塗り絵コーナーもあって遊べました。

    Kanagawa Isehara-shi Sannomiya 1472
    Sannomiya Hibita Shrine is located in the Sannomiya area of the city of Isehara in Kanagawa Prefecture and is dedicated to both the god Toyokumune-no-Mikoto, said to be part of the earliest generation of gods, and the god Sakatoki-no-Kami, the god of sake. This has made it a popular destination for sake brewers. It attracts large numbers of worshipers, since it is believed to be a good place to pray for fulfillment of wishes, true love, or a marriage partner. It is one of the five shrines in the former province of Sagami that participates in the Kokufu Festival every year on May 5.

    大変歴史のある神社で、天平の時代から子宝、安産に霊験ありとされたそうです。 拝殿の前に立つ左右の柱の、人の胸当たりの高さ部分が削られて細くなっていますが、昔、参拝者が安産のお守りとして削って持ち帰ったためだそうです。 かなり細くなっているので危険なのでしょう、今、柱の四隅は鉄のアングルで補強されています。 比比多神社には、歌川国経作の花魁を描いた絵馬が飾られています。神社に花魁、珍しいですね。

    "An official honjin inn where feudal lords stayed during the Edo period when going back and forth between Edo and their territories. They would travel in great processions following a system of alternate residence called ""sankin-kotai."" Of the 26 honjin in Kanagawa Prefecture, this is the only one left. The magnificent Japanese-style building has a high entrance with a family crest. It was used by the lords of the Takashima, Takato, and Iida domains in Shinshu and officials on duty in Kofu. It was designated as a prefectural Important Cultural Property in 1996."

    Kanagawa Atsugi-shi Nanasawa
    "A temple on the upper reaches of the Osawa River dedicated to the deity Benzaiten. It got its name because the cascade basin there is shaped like a large kettle (ogama). Benzaiten was enshrined there in order to pray for rain. Thought by some to be a particularly effective ""power spot"" (place of mystical or healing earth energy), it's also one of the city's coolest places in the summer. There's also a stone statue of a serpent with a human head. Legend says that Benzaiten had a serpent as a messenger, and at some point, the deity and the messenger became one."

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

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.
