List of photography spots in Kanagawa Prefecture

Kanagawa Prefecture has many scenic spots where you can enjoy rich natural locations surrounded by the sea and mountains, historic cityscapes, and beautiful night views. All of these places are easily accessible from Tokyo and can be visited on a day trip, making them popular weekend getaways.

In spring, the cherry blossoms along the Ooka River and in Sankeien Garden are magnificent, offering a one-of-a-kind view of the collaboration of flowers and traditional architecture. In summer, the sunset views from Enoshima Island and the shoreline of Yuigahama are beautiful, and many visitors come to capture the moment when the sea and sky are tinted with color with their cameras. In the fall, the autumn leaves around Hakone and Lake Tanzawa change colors, and the reflections on the lakes are like a painting. In winter, the illumination of the Yokohama Minato Mirai area and the night view become more brilliant, creating a romantic atmosphere.

The dynamic natural scenery of the old temples of Kamakura, the sea view from Hase-ji Temple, and the cliffs and wild waves of Jōgashima are also unique attractions of Kanagawa Prefecture. The scenery changes with the seasons and time of day, so no matter how many times you visit, you will always find something new to discover.

The superb scenic spots in Kanagawa Prefecture are recommended not only for those who love photography, but also for those who want to refresh themselves in a quiet place and take the time to enjoy the seasonal scenery.
