Manazuru Peninsula

This 7-kilometer finger of land jutting into Sagami Bay preserves one of Kanto's oldest natural forests, 300-year-old black pine trees protected since the Edo period. The terraced fishing village of 7,000 residents was built so fishermen could read sea conditions from their front doors. Cape Manazuru's Mitsu-ishi rocks, three boulders emerging from the water, are framed by Izu Peninsula and, on clear days, Mount Fuji across the bay.
