Kamakura Shakado/Hokokuji Route


Here is a map (courtesy of Joachim) of a 9km route through the quiet neighborhoods and hilly hiking trails of eastern Kamakura where Joachim, Mark, Ami and I ran several weeks ago.

This loop is an interesting variation on the normal counter-clockwise route I normally lead
around the circumference of Kamakura. There is very little overlap between the two routes other than the waterfront section.

This Eastern loop takes us through the remarkable Shakado pass which dates back centuries, past the Hokokuji temple and then along a densely forested ridge extending south to the Zushi Marina and the sea.
