Inamuragasaki

Inamuragasaki is a rocky cape and seaside headland in the city of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, known as a classical coastal viewpoint depicted in Edo-period ukiyo-e prints.

The cape affords open views over Sagami Bay toward Enoshima and, on clear days, Mount Fuji; it lies immediately north of Shichirigahama beach and is readily reached from the nearby Enoshima Electric Railway line.

The headland appears in classical Japanese art and became a noted sightseeing spot in the Edo period; today it features a small park, walking paths and formal viewpoints.

Geographically it occupies the southwestern edge of central Kamakura on Sagami Bay, roughly 50 kilometers south of central Tokyo and adjacent to the Shichirigahama neighborhood.

• Best view times: Clear days offer views across Sagami Bay to Enoshima and Mount Fuji, making sunrise and sunset the most popular times for photography.
• Access: The Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden) serves the area at Inamuragasaki Station, providing direct local access from Kamakura and Fujisawa.
