Where to stay in Hinataoka
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Hiratsuka is where the rooms are. Hinataoka is entered as a residential quarter and nothing more, a 1985 address in Kanagawa without an inn or hotel recorded against it, so a night spent here is a night spent in ordinary Hiratsuka housing. So a Hinataoka trip books itself.
Hiratsuka itself is the sensible booking for anything else, since the city containing 日向岡 also carries the lodging that the quarter lacks.

About Hinataoka
What are the main landmarks in Hinataoka?
Hiratsuka holds the sights; Hinataoka holds none. The sources name the quarter, place it in Kanagawa and stop, so there is no site entered here for a visitor to plan a morning around. That is the whole entry.
A traveller looking for something to see will be looking at Hiratsuka, or further out in Japan, while 日向岡 stays the street they had business on.
What is the history of Hinataoka?
Hinataoka begins, on paper, in 1985. Nothing before it is recorded, neither an earlier village name nor a first mention, so the quarter enters the account of Hiratsuka already formed and already named within Kanagawa. 日向岡 is what it is called. Older history belongs to Hiratsuka itself, and to the wider record of Japan, rather than to this one address.
Where is Hinataoka?
Hinataoka lies inside Hiratsuka. Beyond the city boundary that holds it, the sources give 日向岡 no setting at all within Kanagawa, natural or built.
