海の公園・野島 – Yokohama Bayside Parks


逗子を起点にぶらりサイクリング・モードで金沢文庫界隈の公園を巡ってみた。行きは坂の上下がない六浦経由の楽ちんコースでまず野島公園に。ここは丘の上に展望台が建てられていて、360度のパノラマビューが楽しめる。津波時には住民の避難場所にもなりそう。近くに伊藤博文の旧別荘も海辺に維持されていた。
そこからさらに橋を渡ってそう遠くないところには海の公園がある。広々としてのんびり散歩が出来る場所だ。僕は初めて来たので夏場の混み具合は知らない。
帰りはちょっと頑張って朝比奈の峠越えをすることにして、金沢文庫の駅前に出たが、京浜急行の線路を渡るには地下道を通らなければならなかった。朝比奈の坂は約7%の勾配だが距離は1kmもなく、あっという間に終わると言って良いだろう。総距離28kmの走行だった。ここに紹介したルート地図は逗子駅起点としてある。Flickrの写真もご参考に。




I had a relaxing running on bike from Zushi to visit a couple of parks near Kanazawa Bunko in Yokohama. I first took the road without altitude gains via Mutsuura and went to Nojima. This island has a small hill with vista tower from which one can enjoy 360-degree panoramic view. The hill would serve the neighbors when escaping from tsunami, too. There was also a country house of Hirofumi Itoh by the seashore.
Further across the bridge was Umino-Koen (Sea Park) in a short distance. The park was wide and seemed very good for a comfortable walk. I’ve never been here and had no idea how crowded it would be in the summer.
The return road I chose was via Asahina Pass. In order the go across the railway near Kanazawa-Bunko station, you need to go through the underground road with pedestrians. The slope of Asahina is about 7% but it is less than 1km in distance, so the tough part is rather short. My total running distance was 28km. The attached map of the route starts from Zushi station. Some more pictures are posted in Flickr if interested.
