6月初めが見頃｜5万株のさつきが咲く絶景スポットツーリング【星ヶ山公園さつきの郷】

I didn't know such scenery still existed in Kanagawa. I stumbled upon it by chance while browsing Google Maps, and went to "Hoshigayama Park Satsuki no Sato," located on a mountaintop in Yugawara. [Hoshigayama Park "Satsuki no Sato"] The sight of 50,000 azalea bushes in full bloom is breathtaking! A park offering breathtaking views overlooking Sagami Bay https://www.yugawara.or.jp/sightseein... "Satsuki no Sato Marche" will be held on Saturdays and Sundays from May 29th (Fri) to June 8th (Mon), 2026. ⸻ 🏍This time, we actually drove the corrected route that was safe: National Route 135 (Yugawara-cho Yoshihama) → Hoshigayama Park Satsuki no Sato https://maps.app.goo.gl/6zouTwR1v4CYG... ⸻ Honestly, I didn't have very high expectations at first, but it turned out to be a really great place. The vast expanse of 50,000 azalea bushes spread across the mountainside, and the expansive view of Sagami Bay and the Manazuru Peninsula beyond. It's not a particularly famous tourist spot, but it's relatively uncrowded, with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and it's the kind of place that makes you think, "Wow, there's still a hidden gem like this!" ✔ Want to see beautiful scenery that's not widely known ✔ Looking for a less crowded, off-the-beaten-path spot ✔ Want to enjoy seasonal flowers at your leisure ✔ Looking for a destination in Kanagawa where you can enjoy a pleasant ride I think this place is highly recommended for people like that. However, you need to be a little careful about how you get there. If you search for "Hoshigayama Park" or "Satsuki no Sato" on Google Maps, you'll be directed to a dangerous forest road that's closed to traffic. *[Corrected] I reported it to Google, and they've marked it as closed, and it seems to have been corrected now, but please be careful. In fact, I followed Google Maps' directions and ended up on a road that I thought was too dangerous to go any further on my motorcycle, and I had to turn back. Afterward, I checked the map again and corrected the route to one that was actually safe to ride. ▶https://maps.app.goo.gl/6zouTwR1v4CYG... Since there are few signs in the area, this time I'm introducing it including points to be aware of. It's a slightly hard-to-find location, but the view when you arrive is truly wonderful. ⸻ ⸻ 💬A word When you look at Google Maps, you sometimes find these kinds of "gems."
