After meeting at Zushi Station decorated with Tanabata ornaments, we passed through Zushi Kotsubo and visited Kōmyō-ji Temple in Zaimokuza, Kamakura, to admire the lotus garden and the animal memorial tower.

Tired of the crowded tourist spots in Tokyo? Just an hour's train ride from Shinjuku, you can escape to "Zushi Marina" in Kanagawa Prefecture and create unforgettable summer memories at its infinity pool by the Pacific Ocean! This hidden gem is not only a weekend retreat for international students in Tokyo but also a perfect spot for capturing sophisticated and atmospheric photos. 🌊 Infinity Pool × Ocean Horizon: Maximum Vibes The pool is located right by the coast, with its water level blending seamlessly with the Pacific Ocean. At sunset, the golden-red hues of the sea create magazine-worthy shots effortlessly! Wear light-colored swimwear, face the horizon with your back to the camera, and let the waves and palm trees by the poolside form the perfect backdrop. The silhouette under the play of light and shadow tells a story of its own. For even more stunning photos, head there around 6 PM during the "blue hour," when the deep blue of the sea and the gradient of pink and purple in the sky create a natural filter effect. 🏖️ Hidden Gems at Zushi Marina Beyond the pool, the white staircase by the pier and colorful cabins are fantastic photo spots. On weekends, you can even rent a sailboat to enjoy the serene experience of drifting on the sea. After a day of fun, head to a seaside restaurant for a seafood bowl, enjoy the ocean breeze, and watch the sunset—it's the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. 📌 Practical Tips for International Students - Transportation: Take the JR Yokosuka Line from Shinjuku to Zushi Station, then transfer to a bus for about 15 minutes. - Admission: Pool entry fee is around 1,500 yen, with additional charges for towel rental. - Outfit: Bring a lightweight long skirt to drape over yourself when transitioning from the pool to the beach—it instantly transforms your look into a soft and elegant vibe!
