Overview

Kamakura Seaside Park is a public recreational space located directly along the Yuigahama coastline. The park is anchored by a large, open grassy lawn that serves as a multi-use area for picnics and relaxation. A notable feature is the retired Enoden tram car preserved on-site, which provides a tangible link to the city's iconic railway history. The grounds include a playground facility equipped with slides and climbing apparatus for children. Its position offers direct, unobstructed views of the Sagami Bay horizon. The park acts as a buffer between the residential streets of Kamakura and the public beach access points.
