# 【Just Before Valentine's Day】 "Shonan Women Choose" Ranking of Cities They Want to Spend Time With Their Lovers! 1st Place is "Enoshima," But Meanwhile, 1 in 3 People Say "Haven't Really Decided"

~While drawn to popular spots, Shonan girls want to avoid crowds. The real romantic psychology of Shonan women is revealed~

Roomap (roomap), a real estate service specializing in the Shonan and Kamakura areas operated by Garage Standard Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director: Toshizumi Hotta), conducted a "Valentine's Day Awareness and Actual Usage Survey" targeting women living in the Shonan and Kamakura areas.

This survey examined not only dating consciousness regarding "which city they want to spend Valentine's Day in," but also the distance between romance and lifestyle, such as "places where they want to express or receive love" and "cities where they want to live in the future."

As a result, it became clear that while "Enoshima" is supported as a classic spot among Shonan girls, a value system that doesn't strongly depend on location is spreading.

Survey Summary

- The #1 city Shonan girls want to spend Valentine's Day with their partner in is Enoshima (20.8%)

- Meanwhile, "haven't decided in particular" was the most common response at 33.2%

- Top decision factors for date locations are "quiet and calm" and "good atmosphere"

- Approximately 46% did not specify a particular place for "expressing or receiving love"

On Valentine's Day, the city most chosen by Shonan girls is "Enoshima"

When asked "which Shonan area they most want to spend Valentine's Day with their partner," Enoshima came out on top at 20.8%. This was followed by Kamakura (10.4%) and Shichirigahama (4.5%), continuing with classic areas representative of Shonan.

Enoshima is supported as an emblematic destination for Valentine's Day dates, given its sea views, night scenery, and abundance of restaurants.

Still, one in three people "haven't decided in particular"

~Valentine's Day perspective not bound by location~

However, what's noteworthy is that "haven't decided in particular" was the most common response at 33.2%. This result suggests that many Shonan girls are not bound by the fixed idea that "you should go somewhere special because it's Valentine's Day."

It appears they prioritize the flow of the day and the relationship with their partner over the glamor of the event.

The deciding factor for a date location is "atmosphere" rather than "romance"

When asked the reason for the area they selected in the previous question, a trend emerged showing they prioritize atmosphere such as "quiet and calm" and "easy to talk" over "romantic seaside charm."

- Quiet and calm (16.5%)

- Abundant cafes and restaurants (15.7%)

- Beautiful sunset or night views (14.8%)

From these results, we can infer that a natural and conversational atmosphere and comfort are prioritized over flashy production or extraordinary experiences.

Relationship takes priority over "confession spots" ~approximately half don't specify a particular location~

In the question "which Shonan spot they want to express or receive love at," while Enoshima came out on top at 23.3%, when combined with "none in particular" (32.2%) and "don't know" (13.4%), approximately 46% do not prioritize a specific location.

This suggests that many Shonan girls value the relationship and timing with their partner more than the standard scenario of "this location will make a confession successful."

[Summary/Consideration] What Shonan girls seek is not "location" but "human warmth"

This survey reveals that for Shonan girls, Valentine's Day is not perceived as "an event to spend in a special place," but rather as a day to cherish the distance and atmosphere with their partner.

While Enoshima emerged as the most popular emblematic area, the fact that many people don't strongly depend on location suggests that what is being valued is the "ability to be natural" that the Shonan area itself possesses as a relationship itself.

What Shonan girls are seeking might be the "warmth" that flows between people, rather than flashy production.
