Quarry, varied course
This course takes you from the Nagoshi-kiridoshi, a key transportation route in the Zushi area, to the Oogishi (big bank), to Mt. Korobari with its splendid southeastern view of downtown Kamakura, and to the famous Hokoku-ji Temple, famous for its bamboo.
The view from the summit is spectacular, with the curve of Yuhigahama beach and Sagami Bay below, and a panoramic view of the city of Kamakura. The summit is a good place to take a lunch break, as you can rest and relax.

From the Nagoshi cut-through to the Oogishi and Zushi Highland Korobariyama entrances
Passage through the Nigetsu Cutting Passage (between the Nigetsu region and the Chugoku region)
From the Chosho-ji bus stop, it takes about 10 minutes to reach the entrance to the Nagoe Kiridoshi.
Kamakura, where Minamoto no Yoritomo established his residence in 1180, was a strategic location surrounded by the sea to the south and hills on three other sides. Therefore, it is thought that most of the overland routes into Kamakura were either narrow and steep mountain paths over ridges or dangerous paths under the cliffs at the edge of the waves.
The Nagoshi-kiridoshi is one of the main roads connecting Kamakura and the Miura Peninsula, and there are many stone quarries, caves, and other remains from that period in the surrounding area.
The Mandarado Yagura group along the way will be open to the public for a limited time.
