A sense of being lost in the time and space of the Kamakura period<\/h2>\n

The cut-through is about 1 km long.
The chisel marks of the period are clearly visible on the walls of the cutouts on both sides.
It features a stream flowing along the road and a spring at Kumano Shrine, which is known as a power spot.
It was considered the steepest of the seven cut-throughs known as the Kamakura Shichikuchi.

Be sure to stop at the Kumano Shrine on the way.

The first half of the hiking course is a gradual ascent, accompanied by the murmuring of spring water.
You can enjoy the chisel marks of the cuttings on both sides and the ferns.
It takes about an hour to head for the Asahina-side exit after visiting the ruins of a teahouse with a Buddha cliff and the Kumano Shrine, which is located in a secluded area.
Please enjoy going back and forth.

From Junisho Shrine to Tachiarimizu, Saburo Falls, Kumano Shrine

<\/h2>\n

Even if you take a rest at Kumano Shrine, the journey takes about 50 minutes.
The course is rich in spring water, and the stream water flowing along the path is pleasant.
There is a cluster of bush ginger along the side of the approach to Kumano Shrine, which also attracts many photographers in August.
