Hayama (葉山町 Hayama-machi?) is a town located in Miura District, Kanagawa Prefecture, on central Honshū, Japan. As of June 2012, the town had an estimated population of 32,835 and a density of 1,920 per km2. The total area was 17.06 km2. Since 1894, the Japanese Imperial Family has maintained a residence in Hayama, the seaside Hayama Imperial Villa.
Hayama is located at the northern end of Miura Peninsula, facing Sagami Bay on the Pacific Ocean. The area has a temperate maritime climate with short cool winters, and hot humid summers.
During the Edo period, all of eastern Sagami Province was tenryō territory under direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate, and administered by various hatamoto. During the cadastral reform of the early Meiji period in 1889, the area was reorganized into Hayama village through the merger of six hamlets. It was elevated to town status in 1925.
