Hashirimizu Elementary & Golden Aji Coast, Yokosuka, Kanagawa

About this place

Live Stream | Hashirimizu Elementary Coast & Uraga Channel, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan. Perched quietly on coastal slopes facing the sparkling waters of the Uraga Channel, Hashirimizu Elementary School overlooks a sacred coastline steeped in the legend of Yamato Takeru and Princess Ototachibana. Thanks to pure underwater mineral springs welling up from Mount Fuji into Tokyo Bay, this pristine marine habitat is renowned across Japan for breeding prized Golden Horse Mackerel (Hashirimizu Kogane Aji).

Culinary pilgrims flock to rustic coastal diners like Ajibiyori (味美食堂) to experience their legendary deep-fried Hashirimizu Golden Aji fry—boasting feather-light crispy panko crusts encasing sweet, impossibly tender fish meat. Don't miss sampling raw shirasu rice bowls and local nori seaweed soup at Yamani Ryokan, and remember to visit historic Hashirimizu Shrine to fill your water flask with holy underground spring water prized for longevity.
