Kamakura Kodo North Course

Last update date April 10, 2020

On the northern route of Seya Station on the Kamakura Kodo and Joto, there are Seya Hachifukujin, shrines and temples, Jizo-son, Dosojin, and mansion forests and old private houses that seem to have stopped the flow of time. In addition, there are areas dedicated to Kamiseya agriculture, which is the largest agricultural area in Seya, and a row of cherry blossom trees on the Navy Road (Circular Route 4), so you can feel valuable historical heritage and lush nature.
