J-Drama Pilgrimage | きょうは会社休みます。 — 一色海岸 / Isshiki Beach: Hanae and Asao's Episode 5 Detour

Episode 5 of きょうは会社休みます。 aired on 12 November 2014 and takes Hanae Aoishi temporarily away from the dense Yokohama cityscape. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies Isshiki Beach (一色海岸) in Hayama as the seaside location where Yu Asao brings Hanae and then loses his car key, forcing their detour to continue into the next episode.

The scene matters because Asao is not simply a workplace observer by this point: the beach outing gives the story's other romantic possibility space outside Hanae's usual office-and-waterfront routine.

Isshiki remains a real public coast in Hayama. Hayama Town describes it as a beach between the Shonan landscape, the Imperial Villa area and nearby rocky shore, and includes it among the town's designated bathing beaches. Seasonal swimming rules, safety zones and neighborhood restrictions can change, so current municipal guidance should take priority over drama-era assumptions.

Pilgrimage note: the coordinate marks Isshiki Beach as a whole, not the exact place where the actors stood, where a vehicle was parked, where a key was lost in the story, or where a camera was positioned. Do not enter adjacent residential or restricted areas, and observe current beach rules.
