The total for the garden admission and round-trip ropeway is JPY 1,400 per person. It's not cheap, but once you're up there, it's totally worth it.

Koseiwa - Originator of the Shark Fin Bun
Founded in 1926 in Yokohama Chinatown-one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns-Koseiwa began as a shop specializing in Chinese ingredients. Today, it is known as a takeout-only store famous for its “Original Shark Fin Bun,” created in 1996 under the concept of “premium Chinese cuisine you can enjoy while walking.”
The filling is packed with shark fin, and the texture is really firm. The broth is rich and flavorful—you don't even need to add any extra sauce. It's tasty enough on its own.

Shirasaki Coast
Shirasaki Coast is also known as the "Aegean Sea of Japan" because of the beautiful contrast between the white limestone rock surface and the blue sea. It has been selected as one of the 100 best beaches in Japan, and is a great spot for a walk along the beach. There are many sights to see, such as the huge "Tatego Iwa," a rock with a hole in the middle that rises out of the sea.
The color of the rocks along the coast is really unique. You hardly ever see this in Japan. Standing at the observation deck, the sea and sky just blend together—absolutely beautiful!

Kamakura Shrine
Kamikura Shrine is known as the holy place where the great Kumano deity first descended to earth before being enshrined as Kumano Sanzan. The shrine and the sacred Gotobiki Rock are located at the top of 538 steep stone steps starting from the foot of Mt. Gongen. It is said that the ancient people believed that the giant rock "Gotobiki Iwa" on top of the cliff was believed to be the home of the gods. The plaza below the shrine is a great view point from which you can see the city of Shingu and the sea.
The stairs are super steep and not easy to climb, but once you finally make it to the top, the view is truly stunning.
