Features of “Mt.Sengen” hiking course
Sengen mount is a low mountain that reaches the summit in about 20 minutes from the foot of mountain.
The view is excellent, and you can see Sagami Bay and Mt.Fuji from the summit at the same time.
It is not enough to stand on the summit so I added it to the course from Morito beach to Zushi beach.
As soon as we move in the direction of travel from Kazahaya-bashi bus stop, there is a Hayama tunnel.
Go to the intersection in front of this tunnel to the right, turn back the next signal and climb the “branch to church”.
When you walk a steep slope for a while it is Hayama church.
The trail of the Mt.Sengen hiking course starts from the left side of the church.
As you go along the ridge path surrounded by lucid trees, you will soon pass through the forest and arrive at the summit of Mt.Sengen.
There are benches, toilets and Juniperus chinensis trees on wide mountaintops, yachts floating on the sea of Sagami Bay, Enoshima and Mt.Fuji etc. can be seen.
If you fully enjoy the view, let’s go down the stairs by hiking course.
Once on the slope, it gets gentle again, goes down the stairs again and if you climb the steepest staircase in the course it is a peak of 189 m.
As soon as you cross the ridge after taking a rest, you will find “Branch to Mt.Oyama”.
Proceed on the right road, but let’s take a short rest there as you can see Mt.Fuji and the south west side from the logging area just above.
Go back to the bifurcation and go on a gentle slope.
As soon as you go to the right towards the Clean Center, you will have a branch to “Branch of the Cannon Mound and Jikkyo Temple”.
Go straight here and go down the next branch to the right.
After a while it will arrive at the observation deck where the sea can be seen, if you go down the groove style from here, it is a Jikkyo temple.
If you go between the private houses and go out to the national highway go to the right is the Hayama elementary school bus stop.
There is a MARLOWE Hayama store where the pudding is delicious in front of the bus stop.
To Morido beach, proceed to the left at the Mukaihara intersection and arrive at the coast, if you proceed along the sea as it is, you will find the Zushi beach.
