Jimmuji Forest Trail

神武寺の森

Kanagawa · Kanto

The forest around Jimmuji has mossy stone steps, quiet temple corners, and ridge trails toward Zushi and Kamakura’s backcountry. It feels old without being crowded.

Why it's hidden

Most visitors choose Kamakura’s famous temples and beaches instead of the inland trail network.
