This 3 km wooded trail connects Kita-Kamakura with the Daibutsu and passes several small, quiet temples and shrines. The path starts at pretty Jochi-Ji. It takes about 1 hour to do the trail.

Very tranquil. Great day trip with family. Walkable and close to good food. Shrines are nearby. Bus transportation will drop you off in front of the park where Buddha is located.
