Mt.Koma Private Trail Running Tour in Ōiso

If you want to enjoy the beach and the mountain at the same time, this course is recommended.
At Mt.Koma of Ōiso arriving at Tokyo Station from less than an hour by train, you can enjoy 360 ° panorama overlooking Mt.Fuji and you can play at the beautiful beach at the end of the trail.

Hike to Mt.Koma

The 360-degree view from “Shounandai” is really wonderful overlooking Mt. Fuji, the Boso Peninsula and the mountains of Tanzawa.

When you head towards Shonan from Tokyo direction, it is a mountain 165 meters above sea level, located on the east side of Shonandaira which is the green field of Oiso that you can see from the train first.
That is Mt.Koma.
Until the end of the Edo period, this mountain was protected as a spiritual area of the Koma Temple and logging of trees was forbidden, so the rich forest is still protected today.

There is a quiet and peaceful trail surrounded by woods, resting places are dotted in some places.

The Koma Mountain park nature trail has been selected as “Japan’s Forest 100” selected by the Japan Forest Instructor Association, you can observe the original nature of nature.
This trail is a forested area formed by various trees, and you can also see rare fields, wild birds and butterflies in the Mt.Asama area (north of the route along the ridge).

Ōiso Beach was the first Japanese beach in Japan that was established in 18th Meiji era. It is a popular spot for families and couples. Moreover, it is around 10 minutes even if you walk from JR Oiso station. Shower is also installed, so let’s bring swimsuit and enjoy the swimming!

Dam Discharge at Lake Miyagase in Kanagawa Prefecture

I saw a dam release at Miyagase Lake

I have been visiting a limited time dam release in Miyagase Lake in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The spectacle of 30 m 3 of water falling per second was very powerful.
Dam release is open to the public and it is possible for anyone to see it for a limited time.
However, although it is understood this time, it is difficult to understand access by bus, so it is necessary to be careful.
Since it is only 6 minutes to discharge the dam, you can not see it by mistaking the bus time.

Dam release date

January – March, December pause
April – November every Wednesday, 2nd Sunday of the month, 2nd 4th Friday of the month
Other irregular days (event release)

Implementation time

11: 00 ~ 11: 06 (6 minutes)
2: 00 ~ 2: 06 (6 minutes)

How to get to Miyagase Dam

Get off at Odakyu Hon – Atsugi station and go to the bus stop in the north entrance.
There are several bus stops but let’s look for the signs for the photos below.

Let 's look for Kanji' 半原・上萩野 '. — Let ‘s look for Kanji’ 半原・上萩野 ‘.

Let’s look for kanji written as “半原” in the picture above.
Get on the bus at “Aikawa-Ohashi” by Kanagawa Chuo Kotsu bus “Take to center via Hanbara 半原”.
It is about 15 minutes on foot to the dam.
There is no sign of “Miyagase” anywhere on the bus signs or on the bus, it is very unfriendly and unkind, so let’s ask in Japanese to the driver as below before you get on the bus.
“Aikawa-Ohashi ni ikimasuka?”
The meaning of this Japanese is “Is this bus going to Aikawa-Oohashi?”

The way from the bus stop to the dam

The way from the bus stop to the dam
When I get off the bus at Aikawa-Ohashi bus stop, I will head to the dam via Aikawa Park.
The road was also a bit confusing, so I will place Google Map below.
It is necessary to go through the facilities of the park once.

Dam curry is recommended after the tour

You can go up the dam with an elevator or a charged lift when the dam’s visit is over.
Dam curry can be eaten at the lake side cafe on the first floor of the “Water and Energy Hall 水とエネルギー館” above the dam.
This is a curry which imaged the discharge of the dam, and it is structured so that curry flows in if you pull out the sausage set on the rice.
It is very unique and fun.
You can also enjoy the Miyagase Lake tour with a pleasure boat after the meal ends, this lake is famous for its beautiful autumnal leaves.
