Peaceful Coastal Spot in Yokosuka

#asiabudgetchallenge 📍Destination: Araihana Beach, Kanagawa. I went on a summer escape to Araihana Beach, a lesser-known yet peaceful coastal spot in Kanagawa. It’s not as crowded as other beaches, which makes it perfect for relaxing, swimming, and having a quiet picnic. The water was clear, and the view of the sunset was absolutely stunning. The beach also has rocky areas that add a nice touch for photos and exploring. 💰Rough Budget: ¥2,000–¥2,500 From Yokohama, train fare to the nearest station (like Zushi or Hayama area): around ¥800–¥1,000 one way. Snacks or a convenience store lunch: ¥500–¥800. If you bring your own food and towel, it’s a very affordable day trip! 💡Your #1 Travel Tip: Go early in the morning to get a nice spot and avoid the heat. Also, bring beach shoes—the shore can be a bit rocky in some areas. There are no big food stalls nearby, so pack your lunch or grab something from a konbini before heading there!
