Have Sagami Bay all to yourself!
A luxury only available at this time of year
Even people who consider themselves lovers of the sea tend to stay away during the winter. However, those who know the true charm of marine life agree. ``There is no such thing as a day off at the beach! There are many ways to enjoy winter.'' I would like to recommend the "Sagami Bay Cruise", which is a special option for the coming season.
First of all, I would like to emphasize the fact that Sagami Bay is ``not as cold as you might expect'' in winter. Sagami Bay has calm currents to begin with. The weather is sunny in winter, so you can feel the warmth of the sunlight on the sea. The air is clear, so you can see Enoshima, snow-capped Mt. Fuji, Izu Peninsula, Oshima, and Miura Peninsula. It's true that there aren't many people out in the ocean compared to summer, but you'll definitely feel like you have this huge panorama to yourself. This is the real thrill of winter.

Entertain at “Kotatsu & Hot Pot”
Of course, the fun of winter Sagami Bay cruises is not just the view. Please arrange a luxurious dinner party on board. Catering is done using locally sourced ingredients, and chefs from a variety of genres demonstrate their skills. The most popular dinner on board in winter is the seafood hotpot. The main dish is golden sea bream caught in Sagami Bay. And shrimp, scallops, clams, cod...etc. Enjoy with authentic kelp soup.
You can even set up a kotatsu on the boat. The fun of surrounding yourself with a piping hot pot under a warm kotatsu! Among the resort club members who are familiar with the pleasures of the sea, there are many who entertain important business partners at the ``kotatsu and hot pot'' onboard the ship.
Winter boating in winter. This is a pleasure only available to resort club members.
