Riviera Zushi Marina
This resort offers an extraordinary setting lined with palm trees and rows of luxury pleasure boats and yachts, creating a true escape from the everyday. The breathtaking view of Mount Fuji rising beyond the Shonan coastline is also famous as a filming location for movies and TV dramas.
The ocean view here is super wide open, and there’s a row of white yachts parked nearby—perfect for photos! Walking around, I honestly felt like I was in a travel commercial. The whole area is really clean and quiet. There are a few cafes and restaurants where you can eat while looking out at the sea. When the weather’s nice, the vibe is just amazing. It’s not really a spot where you have to rush around sightseeing—it's more for chilling out, taking a walk, and snapping cool pics. Overall, it’s super relaxing and totally gives off vacation vibes.

Sado Nishimikawa Gold Park
Sado Nishimikawa Gold Park is an interactive facility where visitors can experience the history of Sado, once famed as a gold-producing region. It stands on the site of the legendary Nishimikawa Gold Mine, which appears in tales from the Heian and Kamakura periods. In the Sengoku era, it provided war funds for Uesugi Kenshin, and during the Edo period, it served as an important financial resource for the Tokugawa shogunate. Visitors can learn about the dynamic mining method known as Oonagashi (“Great Washing”), which once supported the mine’s prosperity, through detailed models and video displays.
Panning for gold by hand is seriously addictive! The park also has exhibits about the history of gold and artifacts. Both kids and adults can have a great time here. Bringing home a little treasure feels super rewarding. It's perfect for families or friends to experience together.
