The Manazuru-hanto Peninsula is situated in the southwest of Kanagawa.
We went to Manazulu peninsula in Kanagawa prefecture on this monday.
First of all, we parked our car in a parking next to Nakagawa Kazumasa Art Museum.
We asked a woman, in a front counter in there, where the entrance of the forest and she gave me the map.

There are 5 trekking trails in the forest:
- Shinrin walk
- Ohayashi walk(a shortcut to Manazuru cape)
- Uotsuki walk
- Banba walk
- Shiosai walk

We took a stroll along the Shiosai walk to see a 300 years old big black pine.




















We found some big ones of the others...














Even in a parking lot.
