Ohsaki Koen Park: It’s hard to explain the way to get here, but you can reach it from the back street of the marina's fishing port. Ask someone at the port how to reach the park.

Zushi Marina is a resort complex, composed of beautiful harbor, restaurants and cafes, swimming pool, tennis courts, and large-scale resort apartments. It is only a 10-minute bus ride from JR Kamakura Station, or a 1-hour drive from central Tokyo. Zushi Marina is a very popular spot not only for people who are seriously into sailing, but also for those who just want to enjoy a walk along the harbor.
