Geocache Description:


Kamakura Kaido is the generic name of a great number of roads built during the Kamakura period which, from all directions, converged on the military capital of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. The term itself however was created probably during the Edo Period to mean simply any old road going to Kamakur.

Today, modern paved roads that approximately follow one of the routes of an Old Kamakura Kaidō are named either Kamakura Kaido. However you will come across some that try to preserve the road as it was. So you can suddenly be surprise to come across a country footpath.

This path is one of them.

Also if you have time, please visit the Kumano Temple close by. It is an interesting place with some Haiku stones amongst other attractions.

Please bring a pen.

鎌倉街道はざっくり言ってしまうと鎌倉時代に作られた鎌倉に続いている道です。

国分寺市の鎌倉街道は東京都内では比較的街道跡が良好な状態で残っています。その理由の一つは国分寺二寺跡のすぐ傍を通っているために、国指定史跡との関係から思うように開発が進まず、運良く街道跡が残されたのではないかと思われています。

そんな鎌倉街道の道中にキャッシュがあります。

ペンをお持ちください。
GPSの誤差は5メートルぐらいだと思われます。

ちなみに近場交差点に熊野神社があります。もし時間がありましたら訪問してみてください。
社殿の右手裏には芭蕉の俳句や地元出身の俳人宝雪庵可尊の句碑があります。その他にもこんなに小さい場所によく入れたれたなぁと言うぐらい色々あります。
