Kamakura !!! (nature side)
Kamakura activities - What to do at Kamakura : Trekking - Temples - Chilling
Good book for you :
Kamakura is located at 50 km to the south of Tokyo, the main tourists are Japanese. You will see very few foreigners, Kamakura is perfect because you can find beach, temples, and nature!
1st impression :
I'm in the Japan of the past. At Kita Kamakura station, the traditional houses that surround it look like those from a movie about the past of Japan, or the image that one has on its traditional architecture
Perfect for hiking:
Outside the station (which looks more like a small tramway station) just follow people, then turn left to discover small roads surrounded by village houses and nature, which will take you straight to the many temples that populate Kamakura.
A walk suitable for all:
Well signposted, you can do just a little part of it because you will encounter several crossings that will allow you to get out of this real forest! No really need walking shoes, I was in city Geox shoes, Jean, and without a bottle of water, I did 5km then I took the train for the next station: Kamakura (City Center)
Except near the temples that emphasize your journey, you'll be alone on the hiking trails, only accompanied by the sound of the nature.
Not too steep, it goes up or down slightly, and everything was done to make the job easier.
To conclude, if you have half a day to spend on this walk, you will not regret it! Japanese nature sounds are different, but all are beautiful and relaxing, you will practically meet anyone on the trail, a few Japanese hikers will greet you and if you like temples (8 of them are in your way), you can always stop to take pictures or relax!
Finally you will leave the forest to the village (everything is so clean in the Japan) and can reach the city center of Kamakura!
