Most Popular Choice: One-Day Trip to the Miura Region

Besides happily browsing the booths and sampling local treats at the Japan Tourism & Product Expo, don’t miss out on the fantastic value ticket deals. For those planning a trip to Tokyo, take note—aside from sightseeing in the city and shopping, one of the hottest new ways to explore lately is to use one or two days to venture into the nearby areas, and one highly recommended destination is the Miura Region.

The Miura Region can be reached from Tokyo in just one hour via the Keikyu Line, making it a popular suburban getaway spot for Japanese locals on holidays—perfect for a same-day round trip. Both the east and west coasts offer great spots to view the sunset with Mt. Fuji in the background for photos and memories.

East Coast —Indulge in super fresh tuna

The east coast of the Miura Region boasts a rich natural environment, with endless blue skies and seas that bring an amazing mood boost. Getting to feast on the freshest tuna is something to look forward to. From Mishima-kō Station, it’s a 30-minute bus ride to Kumiodoshima, which is the largest natural island in Kanagawa Prefecture. The entire island has been rated as a two-star attraction in the French travel guide "Japan Michelin Green Guide." The island’s natural hot springs, Uma no Umadashi (Horseback Gate), and other spots are all perfect for relaxation.

We recommend purchasing the Misaki Maguro Day Trip Ticket (Mishima Tuna One-Day Ticket), which allows you to travel easily using the Keikyu train and bus systems. Choose a morning to visit the Mishima Marine Products Local Distribution Market, where you can watch the freshest tuna being sold up close—a scene you won’t see at Tsukiji or any other fish market. Take a sightseeing boat ride through Tokyo Bay to see various kinds of fish, then pick your favorite restaurant to enjoy the freshest tuna dishes. Your mind and stomach will both be thoroughly satisfied.
