1. Stroll around Hiratsuka Hachiman-gu Shrine

 

八幡宮

 Walking about 10 minutes from the north exit of JR Hiratsuka Station, you will see a grove of trees. You arrived at Hiratsuka Hachiman-gu Shrine, an oasis for Hiratsuka citizens. Going through the stately Ichino-torii, or shrine gate, which stands at the entrance of the Shrine on the Tokaido Road, you will enter the precincts filled with gentle light and clear air, the best spot to take a walk.

Hiratsuka City is famous in Japan for its Tanabata Festival (star festival), which is held in July. During the Festival, which tells the arrival of summer to Shonan, Hiratsuka Hachiman-gu Shrine is decorated with special ornaments and paper lanterns. In the precincts, visitors can purchase a good luck charm made after this Tanabata Festival.

At the Hiratsuka Museum of Art where soft sunlight is showering, two exhibitions are held according to the season. The Museum organizes exhibitions from its unique perspective, and has steady fans. Their programs, made to satisfy a wide range of visitors from infants to the elderly, are full of new findings.

3. Lunch at a restaurant in The Hiratsuka Museum of Art

How about the recommended “saffron rice with octopus and olive” for lunch at a restaurant La Palette in the Museum? Beautifully colored saffron rice is topped with soft octopus and salmon. Accented with sliced olive and caper, the flavorful and nutritious rice is very tasty. Pink peppers are making it a fancy dish.

Hiratsuka Sogo Park has Shonan BMW Stadium Hiratsuka, a home stadium of a football team Shonan Bellmare. On the day when a game takes place, kitchen cars start lining up four hours before the kickoff. Nice smells fill the area making your stomach grumble.

Eating snacks from the kitchen cars at the spacious “Hiratsuka-no-harappa” field is so special! After refreshing the inner man, why don’t you stroll around the Park? At the Fureai Zoo, you can buy some stuff and feed the goats and sheep there. In summer, you can enjoy playing with water at “Nagare-no-hiroba” square.
