Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Isehara is a city in Kanagawa. Start with Oyama’s shrine or temple. Check the bus from Isehara Station and movement on the mountain separately. This is not a summit hiking route; steps and slopes remain even when using the cable car.

This guide covers places within Isehara, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
