Kanagawa Hiking: Mt. Zukko

An easy trek in the depths of Hadano City, followed by the neatest soba shop ever Secret Hike in Kanagawa: Zukko-san. Kanagawa is known for its easy beach access from Tokyo. Enoshima, Kamakura, and Chigasaki are top spots for day-trippers to get some sun and surf. However, north Kanagawa has a host of outdoor fun, and scattered gems of low-tier yet charming tourist attractions. Hadano City is on the northern edge of Kanagawa, and full of easy hikes and country charm.

Kanagawa Camping

Easy access camping in northwest Kanagawa, where the mountains start. A great thing about having a car in Japan, is that with a little planing you really don’t have to go far for an adventure.

Camping is a great option for people looking to expand their repertoire of weekend trips, and from most places in Kanagawa, you can be at the camp ground in under 2 hours.

It’s a popular weekend destination for campers, cyclists, and motorcycle cruises!

There are however dozens of well-developed destinations scattered about that have various hotel options ranging from simple and cheap to luxurious and all-inclusive, not to mention fun ways to pass the daylight hours until you’re back in the bath. Nasu Kogen (Nasu Highlands) really brings the elements for a leisure trip together in a nice way, and has not been washed over with the same touristy tropes you see in some other places. It still keeps its original […]
