From the Nagoshi cut-through to the Oogishi and Zushi Highland Korobariyama entrances
Passage through the Nigetsu Cutting Passage (between the Nigetsu region and the Chugoku region)
From the Chosho-ji bus stop, it takes about 10 minutes to reach the entrance to the Nagoe Kiridoshi.
Kamakura, where Minamoto no Yoritomo established his residence in 1180, was a strategic location surrounded by the sea to the south and hills on three other sides. Therefore, it is thought that most of the overland routes into Kamakura were either narrow and steep mountain paths over ridges or dangerous paths under the cliffs at the edge of the waves.
The Nagoshi-kiridoshi is one of the main roads connecting Kamakura and the Miura Peninsula, and there are many stone quarries, caves, and other remains from that period in the surrounding area.
The Mandarado Yagura group along the way will be open to the public for a limited time.

Korobari comes from a legend that Minamoto no Yoritomo, who founded the Kamakura shogunate, and his wife, Masako, stretched their robes on this mountain to make it look like a snow-covered mountain to cool off.
