Lets Go Liz | Gionyama Hiking Course - Kamakura Japan - Best Japan Hikes @LetsGoLiz | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Kamakura is a short train ride from Tokyo and has some great Japan hiking trails! The Gionyama Hiking Course is the shortest trail of the Kamakura hiking rails.

I started the Gionyama Hike at old site of Tōshō-ji Temple / Takatori Harakiri Yagura and ended at the Yagumo-jinja Shrine. It was a short hike and took less than an hour. It also has a great scenic point with views of the Pacific Ocean and Yuigahama beach. Apparently you can see Mt Fuji from the scenic point on a clear day. Ending at the Yagumo-jinja Shrine was close to the JR Kamajura Station so it was the perfect finale to my day in Kamakura.

Hiking in Kamakura on the Gion Yama Hiking Course was a great way to refresh in nature (forest bathing!) after spending a few days in Tokyo.

What are your favorite hike in Tokyo?
