Miura

Miura sits in Kanagawa, a coastal area of Japan near Tokyo. While the region is more known for its beaches and scenic coastline than major inland diving, there are local dive centers and occasional coastal dives accessible from the area. For divers visiting, the nearby coastline offers access points typical of the North Pacific side of Japan, with temperate waters and seasonal marine life. The presence of Lake Hinuma provides a nearby freshwater option for training or shore-based skills, though it is not in the immediate Miura coastal zone. Overall, this city acts as a gateway to Kanagawa’s coastal diving, with practical access to nearby dive sites and centers in the wider Tokyo Bay region.
