The journey begins in central Tokyo at The Okura Tokyo, a renowned luxury hotel, and proceeds through Yokohama, Yokosuka, Kamakura, and Enoshima, exploring both urban highlights and coastal landscapes.

Yokohama
The drive moves through Yokohama, home to Japan’s largest Chinatown and numerous sightseeing spots near the bay. The city has more waterfront attractions compared to Tokyo’s bayside, making it a popular destination.

Yokosuka

Misaki & Jogashima

Enoshima & Kamakura
The return journey traces the eastern coast, visiting Enoshima, a small island known for its shrines and stunning sea views. Kamakura, a historic city filled with temples and shrines, offers glimpses of Japan’s past tucked away in quiet alleyways.

This immersive drive showcases the diverse landscapes of the Miura Peninsula, from bustling cityscapes to serene oceanside retreats, making it a perfect day trip from Tokyo.
