In this beautifully shot 4K travel vlog by the channel ツクヨミノタビ / Japan Calm Travel, viewers are transported to the peaceful coastal town of Hayama in Kanagawa Prefecture during the early days of spring. Although it’s still a little early for cherry blossoms, the video captures the quiet ambiance and natural beauty of Hayama as winter begins to release its grip. The journey begins at JR Zushi Station, a transit gateway for travelers venturing into this scenic region.

The vlog then ventures to Hayama Port (葉山港), a tranquil harbor known for its fresh catches marking the start of the spring fishing season. Following the serene rhythms of the sea, the narrator takes us — and themselves — on a slow, meditative stroll along the coastline, capturing the calm essence of this early spring vibe.

Stops include the Morito Coast (森戸海岸), Manase Coast (真名瀬海岸), and the breathtaking Isshiki Coast (一色海岸), each with sweeping coastal views and almost cinematic tranquility. The vlog visualizes the quiet charm of these areas, where lapping waves and softened winter light offer a moment of reflection and peace. The journey concludes with a sunset at Hayama, encapsulating the gentle transition from winter to spring seen through the daily rhythms of a fishing town and its coastline.

Hayama is renowned not just for its beaches but also for its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to Tokyo, making it a favorite spot for quiet getaways. The video invites viewers to find solace in Japan’s slower moments, where landscapes and light reflect a subtle change in seasons.
