Hiking Mount Ogusu

The best view in Kanagawa

Peter Sidell   - 1 min read

Mount Ogusu is the highest point on the Miura Peninsula, providing a stunning panorama of the region. The start of the walk is less than half an hour on the bus from Zushi station, and it takes about an hour and a half to get to the top. The walk takes you along clear, well-defined paths through pleasant forest, then at the top there's an observation deck and a clearing to rest and eat your packed lunch while you enjoy the view.
