Hello, fellow travel lovers!
This time, I’m sharing a perfect relaxing day in Shonan ✨
A simple but unbeatable route: roadside station → seaside walk → hot spring
Start here: Roadside Station Shonan Chigasaki
Opened on July 7, 2025
This stylish roadside station is full of Shonan charm.
Fresh local vegetables, regional specialties, and trendy goods
—everything feels more like a curated shop than a typical roadside station.
Even the sign at the entrance looks stylish, so the excitement starts right away.
You’ll find a detailed area map
and a viewpoint guide, which makes it easy to plan your next stop on the spot.
Fun little extras
📷pin badge
You can get cute pin badges from a capsule toy machine.
perfect as a travel souvenir!
Breakfast time
Breakfast Menu
Everything looks beautiful and well presented.
Even the boiled egg had a mysterious green garnish—no idea what it was, but it looked great!
Large Table
There’s also a large shared table. It’s stylish and spacious,
but if you chat a lot, you might end up speaking louder than expected!
Shopping area
vegetable section
The vegetable section is large
The entire shop area is clean, modern, and fun to explore.
and full of fresh produce.
Local sake
Local sake is also well stocked
Must-try local food
Don’t miss the famous Chigasaki menchi (fried minced meat cutlet).
Crispy on the outside, juicy inside—simply delicious.
Highlight of the day: Strawberries
Strawberries
We found a new strawberry variety called 「“Kanakomachi”」
Price: 1,100 yen per pack
A bit of a treat, so we shared it between three people and brought it along for our seaside walk.
And… it was absolutely worth it. Sweet, juicy, and unforgettable!
Walk to the sea
From the station, just walk a little and you’ll start to see the ocean.
A seaside walk along the coast is the perfect way to relax.
Sunny days are nice, but cloudy weather actually makes it easier to walk—no harsh sunlight!
We spotted surfers enjoying the waves,
and even a bird of prey (hawk? falcon?) soaring above.
Chigasaki Southern C Monument
Eventually, we reached the famous “Southern C” monument.
It’s said that if two people stand on opposite sides of the circle, their bond will be strengthened…
Well… I stood there alone 😂
There’s also a mysterious “G” nearby—keep an eye out for it!
🍓Seaside snack time
Sitting by the ocean and eating those strawberries…
Honestly, they were incredible.
When we went back later, they were already sold out
—so if you see them, grab them immediately!
Lunch (of course!)
We weren’t even that hungry… but still went for lunch 😂
We also picked up a steak bento
and a wooden lunch box for dinner.
🚗Fun fact
Breakfast, Lunch, and takeout dinner
All sourced from this one roadside station!
It’s basically a one-stop destination for the entire day.
♨️Finish with a hot spring
If you have time,
stop by Shonan Resort Spa Ryusenji no Yu.
After a full day, soaking in a hot spring feels amazing.
Then head home with your takeaway dinner with beer.
Perfect ending!👏
