Kanagawa Prefecture

Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan offers limited open-water diving within a steep urban coast just south of Tokyo. The region’s diving character centers on access from Yokohama and Kamakura, with shallow sites, rocky shores, and occasional coastal wrecks or piers within nearshore waters. Divers typically encounter temperate conditions, modest visibility, and abundant urban-adjacent amenities. Inland options include Lake Hinuma for freshwater experiences, but the prefecture’s primary dive interest remains shallow, easily reachable coastal diving near the Tokyo Bay area rather than remote or high-visibility offshore sites.
