A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
平塚市
Hiratsuka combines Shonan’s coast with a central shrine and art museum. Start north of the station, saving the hilltop views at Shonan Daira for a separate trip.
This guide covers places within Hiratsuka, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
平塚八幡宮
A central shrine dedicated to Emperor Ojin and connected with local history. Explore the buildings quietly, leaving worshippers room to pass.
Getting there
Approach from the north side of Hiratsuka station or Shiyakusho-mae bus stop
A first-visit stop
湘南平
A hilltop in Manda with views toward the coast and Tanzawa. Fuji depends on clear weather; plan separate transport from the central shrine and museum.
