Overview
I have a rich overseas experience, and am so friendly that it can be mistaken for locals in any country I visit. Why don't you come and spend some fun time with me, a local?
I have had the opportunity to travel to 60 countries and have lived in England, Mexico and Italy. However, I believe that the Miura Peninsula, where I was born and raised, is the most attractive place in the world, surrounded by the sea, rich in nature, with the Miura Alps in the middle, scenic and warm, with both sea and mountain food to be enjoyed. In particular, Yokosuka was visited by many foreigners, who brought with them various cultures and technologies such as iron and steel making and shipbuilding, and marked the start of a new era in Japan. Please feel with all your senses how various foreign cultures and histories have had a great influence on Japan and how Japan has developed. Please fully enjoy the charms of Miura Peninsula, which can be visited in just over an hour from Tokyo, walking with me.

What To Expect
Hashirimizu Shrine
Visit Hashirimizu Shrine to worship the spirit of the Japanese warrior,Yamato Takerunomikoto and his wife Ototachibana hime written in Nihon shoki and Kojiki in 8 century. The myths passed down in Hashimizu are cherished not only by this region of Hashimizu, but also by many people throughout Japan, and have cultivated the moral values of the Japanese people. They took a boat to Kazusa-no-kuni (southern part of Chiba Prefecture), when they reached the middle of the sea, they suddenly encountered a storm and were at a loss, when his wife, Ototachibana hime said: 'This must be the work of the sea god. As soon as she said, "Let me enter the sea in your place," she threw herself into the sea. The storm was quickly calmed down and Takerunomikoto and his party were able to cross safely to Kazusa.

Hashirimizu Shrine
The Suikinkutsu, a device in the decoration of the Japanese garden that causes water droplets to fall into a hollow created in the ground near a water bowl and reverberates the sound emitted when they do so, is located at the entrance to the Hashirimizu Shrine. The pure sound is relaxing your soul.

Cape Kannonzaki
Kannonzaki is located at the eastern end of the Miura Peninsula, facing Tokyo Bay and the Uraga Channel. In 1975, it was developed as prefectural park with 70.4 ha. The name Kannonzaki is said to have originated in 741 when Gyoki, the founder of the Buddhist priesthood, is said to have vanquished a serpent living in an underwater cave here and enshrined the eleven-faced Goddess of Mercy, and in the Edo period a Kannon Hall was built. In the late Edo period (1800s), Japan, which had been closed off from the rest of the world, was visited by a succession of foreign ships. Kannonzaki is characterised by the fact that the area was restricted to civilians as a Tokyo Bay fortification zone from 1880 until the end of the war in 1945, leaving nature untouched and providing an environment where nature can be enjoyed both at sea and in the mountains, with its near-pristine evergreen forests. Furthermore, geographically, many of the first installations in Japan were made in this area.
