Manazuru station JR

I visited “Manazuru“, near Atami.

It took almost 2 hours from my studio.

Manazuru is the place my father, “Keiji Hayashi” he is a famous painter, had his studio when he was young.

I visited here for several times.

After walking for 20 mins you can reach to the beach.

It called “Iwa”beach.

Yoritomo Minamoto boated from here to Kamakura

In 12th century in Japan.

There was a big battle between the Taira clan and the Genji clan, and it is said that  Yoritomo Minamoto, later generals were raised on this beach.

Now Iwa beach is a calm beach.

No one is there in a winter time.

But it worth to visit here to have fresh seafood.

I got today’s lunch.

Wide variety of seafood.
