    Kanagawa Miura-gun Hayamamachi Horiuchi
    "A lush urban forest that makes it easy to take in views of the sea and mountains typical of Hayama. A hiking course with a log staircase, benches, and an arbor traverses three peaks. Hikers are welcomed by cherry blossoms and azaleas in spring, hydrangeas in early summer, and birds and flowers like tiger lilies in summer. The view of the sea and Mt. Fuji from the observatory and the mountaintop plaza is wonderful; it has been selected as one of ""100 Best Views of Mt. Fuji in Kanto"""

    よく整備されているハイキングコースです。山頂や途中の展望台からは海岸を一望できます。桜の時期が一番おススメです。

  • Miura Gansho no Michi
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kanagawa Miura-shi Minamishitauramachi Matsuwa-Miura-shi Miyagawacho
    This walking course is along the coast at the tip of the Miura Peninsula. It has a view of the Uraga Channel and the Boso Peninsula and is a good spot to hike while enjoying the coast. There are many flat sections along the 10.3 km course between Matsuwa, Minamishitaura Town, Miura City and the Miyagawa-cho bus stop, but you you'll need non-slip shoes for hiking the rocky shore. Also, when advisories for high waves, flood tides, and surges are in effect, you shouldn't hike there as it's dangerous.
