The Awasaki Lighthouse
#2024wish
This is on the east end of the island along with the Jogashima Lighthouse on the west end are referred to as the “lighthouses in love.” Many couples visit this spot because it’s lucky for love. The Awasaki Lighthouse is 16-meters high and was constructed in 2020 with a motif of Miura Radish (famous local brand of agricultural product). The unique shape and the white and green gradations reminded us of radish and made a great contrast against green-grass field in the park.
I want to travel to Jogashima Island again.

Jogashima bridge
Jogashima Bridge is located at the southern end of the Miura Peninsula, and is a steel box girder-style bridge with a length of 575 meters and a height of 23.5 meters over the Straits of the Miura Peninsula and Jogashima.
Under the bridge, large ships of tuna deep-sea fishing at Misaki Port come and go, so there is a long bridge pier space of 95 meters in the center of the bridge. Steel box girders are adopted because it is necessary to reduce the weight of this central part. This center is vividly colored red.
There is almost no land higher than the bridge around the bridge, so you can see a wide range of scenery.
At a short time before sunrise, the fantastic scenery that only the white peaks of the mountains of Tanzawa shine in the morning sun can be seen from the Jogashima Ohashi Bridge, and it is a scene I would like to see if I have the opportunity.
The passage of the bridge was charged for a long time, but it became free in 2020.
It's one of the 100 best bridges in Kanagawa.

Lovers' Island 🇯🇵
Jogashima has been listed as a two-star destination in the revised third edition of Michelin Green Guide Japan. It has many scenic spots, with the southern hiking course offering views of the majestic Pacific Ocean and the strangely-shaped rock "Horseback Cave Mouth". A perfect hike for lovers ❤️ It's quite far to get there by bus.
Location: Misakicho, Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture (a 40-minute drive from Yokosuka Naval Base)
