    Kanagawa Miura-gun Hayamamachi Horiuchi
    "A lush urban forest that makes it easy to take in views of the sea and mountains typical of Hayama. A hiking course with a log staircase, benches, and an arbor traverses three peaks. Hikers are welcomed by cherry blossoms and azaleas in spring, hydrangeas in early summer, and birds and flowers like tiger lilies in summer. The view of the sea and Mt. Fuji from the observatory and the mountaintop plaza is wonderful; it has been selected as one of ""100 Best Views of Mt. Fuji in Kanto"""

    よく整備されているハイキングコースです。山頂や途中の展望台からは海岸を一望できます。桜の時期が一番おススメです。

    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kanagawa Yokosuka-shi Ashina 3
    There are four hiking courses on Mt. Ogusu, a 242-meter-high mountain which even beginners can easily climb. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view encompassing the Miura Peninsula, Izu Peninsula, Mt. Fuji, Hakone Mountains, Oshima Island, and Boso Peninsula. The gently rising Ogusu Ashinaguchi Course starts near the Ogusuashinaguchi bus stop, while the Maedabashi Course offers scenic rivers and starts near the Maedabashi bus stop; either course takes around 60 to 70 minutes to walk. The Kinugasayama Course starts in Kinugasayama Park and takes around two hours and 20 minutes to walk; the Tsukayama-Abekura Course starts near the Tauraeki bus stop and takes around two and a half hours to walk.
  • Maeda River Trail

    Kanagawa Yokosuka-shi Akiya
    A promenade along the Maeda River, one of the few rivers that still have a natural environment. The wooden and stone paths continue along the riverbed just down the stairs from the starting point, Oguni Bridge. Stepping stones have also been placed in the river, allowing visitors to get a close look at small fish, river crabs, and other waterside living things.
  • Miura Gansho no Michi

    Kanagawa Miura-shi Minamishitauramachi Matsuwa-Miura-shi Miyagawacho
    This walking course is along the coast at the tip of the Miura Peninsula. It has a view of the Uraga Channel and the Boso Peninsula and is a good spot to hike while enjoying the coast. There are many flat sections along the 10.3 km course between Matsuwa, Minamishitaura Town, Miura City and the Miyagawa-cho bus stop, but you you'll need non-slip shoes for hiking the rocky shore. Also, when advisories for high waves, flood tides, and surges are in effect, you shouldn't hike there as it's dangerous.

Kanagawa Areas

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
