    Kanagawa Ashigarashimo-gun Hakonemachi Hatajuku
    A spot along the Kanagawa Prefectural Route 732 Yumoto-Motohakone Line, one of the standard prefectural routes in Kanagawa and commonly called the Old Tokaido Highway. It was once the main highway connecting Odawara and Mishima. It now runs parallel to the Hakone-Shindo Highway. The Nanamagari section is famous as one of the difficult hurdles of the annual Hakone-Ekiden long distance relay race. As you head from the Miharashi-Chaya Tea-house, which is located close to Kowakidani Station, towards Hatajuku you'll pass along a steep sloping road full of zig-zagging switchbacks with an approximate 10% grade. Every spring sakura cherry trees bloom on either side of the road and racing through the verdant green scenery makes for a popular hill-climb course.

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
