This coast faces Sagami Bay in the southwest of Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is a flat beach that stretches for about 4 kilometers from Inamuragasaki to Koyurugigasaki in Koshigoe to the west. It is so named because it is about 7 ri (approximately 6 cho = 1 ri). The Enoshima Electric Railway Line and National Route 134 (Shonan Road) pass through it. It is a scenic spot with a panoramic view of Enoshima nearby, Fuji, Hakone, Izu, Oshima, and the Miura Peninsula in the distance. On the beach near Inamuragasaki stands a monument to the Zushi Kaisei Junior High School students (12 boys lost in a gust of wind in 1910) who are known for their mourning song, "The pure white peaks of Mt. Fuji, the green island of Enoshima..." and on top of it stands a bronze statue of the brothers facing the beach. Swimming is prohibited in the sea because of rough waves, but it is popular for surfing. [Yukio Asaka] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
神奈川県鎌倉市(かまくらし)の南西部、相模(さがみ)湾に面した海岸。稲村ヶ崎(いなむらがさき)から西へ腰越(こしごえ)の小動崎(こゆるぎがさき)に至る約4キロメートルの平坦(へいたん)な海浜。6町を1里としたときのほぼ7里にあたるので、この名がある。江ノ島電鉄線と国道134号(湘南(しょうなん)道路)が通じる。近くに江の島、遠くに富士、箱根、伊豆、大島、三浦半島を一望に収め、景勝地をなしている。稲村ヶ崎に近い浜辺に「真白き富士の嶺(ね)、緑の江の島……」の哀悼歌で知られる逗子開成中学生の慰霊歌碑(ずしかいせいちゅうがくせいのいれいかひ)(12少年――1910年突風で遭難)とその上に兄弟のブロンズ像が浜に向かって立っている。海は波が荒いので遊泳禁止だが、サーフィンで人気がある。 [浅香幸雄] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
