Chojagasaki (Hayama) in early summer with clear weather. It is a really relaxing place where you can see the quiet blue sea from a small hill with few people. If it's sunny, you can see Mt.

This is a photo taken when I went on a solo trip to Zushi-Hayama area on a day trip. This place is near the edge of Hayama, Chogasaki is! The surfer was so cool that I pressed the shutter. It was my first time traveling alone, but I was happy to see a lot of beautiful scenery.

It was a sunset that I saw when I went to Hayama on a hot summer day. A beautiful sunset and Mt. Fuji that will make you forget the heat of the day. I lost track of time and took pictures until the sun went down completely. I would definitely like to see it again.
