A lighthouse on the offshore reef of Morito Beach, officially named Hayama Lighthouse. It was donated by Shintaro Ishihara on the third anniversary of his brother Yujiro's death. On clear days the lighthouse, the torii of Najima and Mt. Fuji overlap when viewed from Morito Shrine.
The beach that represents Hayama, which developed from the Meiji era onward as a villa district for political, business and cultural figures. The 1956 film Crazed Fruit, starring Yujiro Ishihara, was shot around here and spread the image of Hayama as "the sea of the young", and in the 1960s–70s it became the beach where students from Tokyo gathered. Haruomi Hosono and Takashi Matsumoto also played at a summer beach house here in their amateur band days.
A beach house on Morito Beach. It opened as a restaurant in 1980, and its handmade bamboo space also hosts live music by Japanese and international musicians. It operates only from July 1 to August 30, 11:00–22:00.

A neighborhood sushi place in Isshiki, known for conger eel. Takeout is available. Open 11:30–14:00 on Tuesdays and 11:30–21:00 from Wednesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays.
A beach in front of the Hayama Imperial Villa, known for its clear water. Rocky shores spread at Koiso-no-hana and Shibasaki Coast behind the villa, where small creatures live right beside the swimmers. Emperor Shōwa and the Emperor Emeritus walked here to study marine life, collecting sea slugs, sea anemones and gobies.
A beach house on Isshiki Beach, marked by a triangular roof built from locally thinned bamboo. It serves local food and beer and holds live music and DJ events. Open in summer only.

A beach facing Sagami Bay between Hayama and Akiya. It sits along Route 134, with Mt. Fuji across the water.
Before you go. Wednesday closures (Hayama Asahiya Beef Shop, Yushige, Pool 'n' Tap, LUKE.) and Monday closures (Kenzushi, SUNSHINE + CLOUD, The Museum of Modern Art, Hayama, Kanagawa) fall on different days, so pick your day around the places you want to enter. OASIS and BLUE MOON run in summer only, so in other seasons it is easier to build the walk around the beaches and viewpoints.
