Kamakura is to be protected in the mountain. But, now every mountain, has become hiking course. As old history is felt, the nature it is possible to become familiar. As for name of hiking course, you call TEN-EN hiking course. As for the entrance to hiking course, YOKOHAMA CITY, IMAIZUMIDAI and MEIGETSUIN, the GAKUON-JI temple, the KENCYO-JI temple and the ZUISEN-JI temple it is several. Because, there is also a kind of place which is the mud in hiking course, as for it keeps wearing the high-heeled shoe and the leather shoes the one which is avoided is better, is. The sports shoes and the walking shoes etc are good, probably will be. The japanese history and the nature, it can feel old culture. The sightseer is about it does not go excessively, but I think that it is very good sight-seeing spot. There is also a good lookout where you can look around the Kamakura town. Because it is possible, to choose short course and long course, when it keeps setting to the room of time, you think that it is good. It is Hanzoubou in the highest place of Kencho-ji Temple here. There is a TEN - EN hiking course on the top from here. It must climb a considerably long slope even to get nervous from a bottom of Kencho-ji Temple to here.If you have enough time and physical strength, this hiking course is a recommended hiking course. Enter a hiking course; climbed it until just before that, and there is an observatory. This is the prospects from there. You may look at a building of Kencho-ji Temple far below. In addition, you can watch the west mountains of Kamakura city. Furthermore, you can watch YUIGAHAMA Beach and the Pacific. When you go an entrance of a hiking course in the left, you can go to an MEIGETSUIN temple, but the right side is a TEN-EN hiking course. When you enter a TEN-EN hiking course and go for a while, there is a rock of strange form. Because it parted from a right way of a hiking course, as for some courses to a rock, attention is necessary for you not to overlook it. This rock is Japanese and says JYUOH-IWA. It is Ten Kings of Hades rock. Faith of JYUOH thought was popular in the Kamakura era. It was believed that a person went to heaven or hell after death, and it was thought that it was JYUOH(Ten Kings of Hades) that judged which of heaven or hell you went to. A rock weathers now, and, among Ten Kings of Hades, it is only three bodies that stay. Ten Kings of Hades image is enshrined in the ENOUJI temple which there is near Kencho-ji Temple. Above all, ENMA-DAIOU in the center is conveyed with a work of Unkei who is a famous master craftsman of Buddhist image of the Kamakura era. In the Kamakura era, it is before now for about 900 years. From a place of these Ten Kings of Hades image, you can command a whole view of row of houses along a city street of Kamakura. A central road is a Wakamiya main thoroughfare. There are the crossroads to approximately 2km from an entrance of a hiking course on Kencho-ji Temple.The left is a residential area. When you go to the right, You withdraw towards a GAKUONJI temple. A hiking course spreads out more when You go straight. You went to the right a little, and there is HYAKUHACHI-YAGURA. In this way You become the sinus which dug out a rock, and it is a grave of Kamakura era. There is such a sinus on a mountain around Kamakura a lot. It is the place where HYAKUHACHI - YAGURA of here is famous in Kamakura where it is reasonable. Therefore it is easy to glide, and, in the hiking course, a muddy place please warn footwear in a mountain because there is it whether it is several places. In addition, please walk with care. If you pass HYAKUHACHI-YAGURA and go a way to GAKUONNJI temple, coming down continues and can come back to a town area of Kamakura city. When you go straight a forked road of a while ago, there is a TEN-EN rest station. You can look at Kamakura city from there. A TEN-EN hiking course still spreads out, but it will be to here that it is near comparatively heartily in Kamakura city. ]]> http://kamakurajapan.yumlg.com/2006/11/mountainwall_of_protection_the.html http://kamakurajapan.yumlg.com/2006/11/mountainwall_of_protection_the.html Place of interest Sun, 05 Nov 2006 17:57:49 +0900 Kamakura is the town which has history.
