🌊 Location Perks: Chigasaki’s Coastal Lifestyle

Chigasaki sits at the heart of Shonan, offering surf-town vibes without the heavy tourism of nearby Kamakura or Enoshima. Locals enjoy a more relaxed pace, with direct access to the beach, cycling paths along Route 134, and stunning views of Mt. Fuji across Sagami Bay.

Commuters benefit too: Tokyo is under an hour away by JR Tokaido Line, and Yokohama is just 25 minutes. That makes Chigasaki an attractive choice for families, professionals, or anyone seeking a coastal retreat without losing urban access.

🌿 Welcome to Chigasaki

Unlike more crowded Shonan hotspots, Chigasaki keeps its easygoing charm. It’s famous as the birthplace of Japanese surfing and home to Southern Beach Chigasaki, complete with its iconic “C” monument and Eboshi Rock views.

The area blends livability with leisure. From the bustling Southern Street shopping arcade leading to Chigasaki Beach, to stylish cafes and fresh shirasu cuisine, daily life here is both convenient and vibrant.

For culture lovers, the Shorai-an tea house, Chigasaki City Museum of Art, and music history tied to Southern All Stars add depth beyond the waves. Combined with mild weather year-round, Chigasaki is as much about community and creativity as it is about the beach.
