Rokkokumiyama Forest Park is maintained as a forest park that preserves the precious natural environment left behind by the residential areas.
As the name implies, the observation deck in the park offers a panoramic view of not only Kamakura but also the six provinces (Sagami, Musashi, Izu, Jousou, Shimousou, and Awa). The ridge path is maintained as a hiking course and is combined with other Kamakura hikes.
