Nusuttogari

Nusuttogari is a scenic spot on the Miura Peninsula, renowned for its rocky reefs. Selected as one of Kanagawa’s 50 Scenic Spots, it represents Miura's most spectacular views. The name originates from an old tale: cornered bandits, seeing the terrifying 30-meter-high cliffs and the raging waves here, trembled with fear, froze in place, and were easily captured. Thus, the area was named “Nusuttogari” (Thief’s Fall). Visitors can enjoy the powerful sight of huge ocean waves crashing against the towering cliffs and rocky outcrops, sending up white splashes. Now developed as part of the Kanto Fureai Trail designated by Japan’s MOE, it features a hiking course with bridges connecting the reefs. On calm days, anglers can be seen here, making it a naturally rich scenic spot filled with the scent of the sea.
