Overview

Genjiyama Park is a scenic park offering breathtaking views of Kamakura's cityscape and Sagami Bay. Despite its convenient location—a mere 30-minute walk from Kamakura Station—it provides a tranquil escape surrounded by lush nature. Within the park, you'll find historical sites such as the grave of Hino Toshiki, who was involved in the downfall of the Kamakura shogunate, and a statue of Minamoto no Yoritomo. The park boasts beautiful seasonal scenery, with cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn foliage. In spring, the park is awash in a sea of pink cherry blossoms. Autumn brings a stunning display of maple and ginkgo leaves. From the observation deck, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Kamakura Alps and Yokohama, immersing yourself in the grandeur of nature. Well-maintained walking paths make it an enjoyable stroll for even novice hikers. Rest areas and restrooms are available, ensuring a comfortable experience for families with young children.
