Centered on Mount Nojima, 57m above sea level, the park features a number of facilities such as an observatory, barbecue area, campground, and baseball field, and from the observatory, you can see the sea of Yokohama, Boso Peninsula, and Mount Fuji.

Cherry blossom trees of Mt. Kamakura(cherry blossoms)

The Mount Kamakura Residential area was developed as a high class suburban area during the early Showa period, making a name out of Kamakura across the nation. While preserving the mountain range as much as possible, this residential area was built in the middle of greenery, with Japan’s first road for vehicles linking the area to Ofuna Station. Along the road, there are many sakura trees planted from a long time ago, making the area one of Kamakura’s famous sakura spots.

ZOU-NO-HANA Terrace, one of the many facilities established within the park, is a combined rest area and art space that hosts a wide variety of cultural programs including traditional arts, performing arts, music, and other genres, aiming to become a space where various people and cultures meet, connect, and create new culture. In keeping with this concept, the ZOU-NO-HANA Café strives to spread art through regularly scheduled events and offers a visually pleasing and creative menu devised by artists and creators alike.
