    • I found this more by accident than anything else. I got turned around by many local Japanease in the Kamakura area, and was told to take these background paths to find the Great Buddha, but it did give me a lot of exercise. Many other people were in this area as well also lost but you got to see many gardens and grave markings of monks while along the path and many local neighbourhoods outside the city. Good for a hike and a bit of wilderness if the big city is not your thing.

    Take the train to just before the Kamakura station and get off, or at Kamakura itsself, there are plenty of paths to try!

    • When exploring the grounds, though a lot of the area is blocked off due to the palace being closed, there are a lot of nice paths to the side that are more quiet and you can see the real beauty of the gardens.

     Hi Dan, actually the subway barriers come with a sensor that slam shut if you don't insert a ticket before passing thru'... beware!
