Nanohanadai Observatory in Yabitsu Pass

At the end of the Yabitsu pass from the Miyagase dam and before get in Hadano city, you can stop at  this observatory. This give you a great view of the Sagami bay. With a clear sky, maybe winter would be the best, you can see many famous spots.
I could recognize Yokosuka Peninsula, Enoshima, Hatsushima, Ooshima, Izu...

Yabitsu Pass

Everytime I go to the Miyagase Dam, I take the same road 64. This time the way back will be on the Yabisu Pass. Surprisingly, this is a thiny road. Most of the time, this one car wide with many curves. You follow some small and cold river. The only way to stop by is to enter a picnic place. About 500¥~1000¥ for a car with extra ~600¥ per person to get to enter.

But if you look for it, you can find some free places. Harder to access, you will also find less people and more peaceful atmosphere. The problem with such places, some people don't get used to bring back their own trash.

This is definitely a pleasant drive. Slow life and plenty of nature.
