This course starts from Kamakura Station, goes up the Kewaizaka Slope, and takes the Genjiyama Hiking Course to the Kamakura Daibutsu (Great Buddha). Kewaizaka is one of the so-called “Seven Entrances of Kamakura.”
You turn left from the road to Kaizoji Temple and up the slope. It’s a residential area for a while, but at the end, there’s a steep staircase waiting for you. Once you climb it, you’ll reach Genjiyama Park.
You could go down to Zeniarai Benten Shrine right away, but that would take you back to the west exit of Kamakura Station, so I decided to walk the hiking course to the Great Buddha. By the time I got to the Great Buddha, I was pretty exhausted.
