Glamping

A portmanteau of 'glamorous' and 'camping,' glamping delivers the best of both worlds: immersion in nature without sacrificing comfort. Kanagawa's glamping facilities are remarkably accessible — many are reachable by public transport from Tokyo — and several offer day-trip packages alongside overnight stays, making them ideal for first-timers. Think plush beds, proper bathrooms, and starry skies without the hassle of pitching your own tent.

Camping

For the more traditional outdoor enthusiast, the Tanzawa mountains and Lake Sagami area — both roughly an hour from the city — are beloved camping destinations. What sets Kanagawa apart is its onsen culture: the prefecture's western region is home to some of Japan's finest hot springs, and several campsites feature their own baths. The ritual is unbeatable — soak away the day's fatigue in geothermally heated water, then sit by the crackling campfire under a canopy of stars.

Cycling

Feel the breeze and watch the scenery unfold at your own pace. Kanagawa has invested heavily in cycling infrastructure, with rental and share-cycle schemes widely available. Three standout routes:

🚴 Pacific Coast Cycling Road — Kanagawa Section: Part of Japan's National Cycle Route network, this stretch delivers sweeping views of the Miura Peninsula and Sagami Bay, with postcard-perfect vistas of Enoshima and Mount Fuji along the way.

🚴 Odawara Loop Route: A relaxed tour connecting Odawara Fishing Port, the famous kamaboko (fish cake) street and the Soga Plum Grove — a route that pairs cycling with serious snacking.

🚴 Doshi-michi / Lake Sagami / Lake Tsukui Loop: Following sections of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic road race course, this route winds through mountains and lakes dotted with campsites.

The prefecture has mapped out 14 official cycling routes in total, ranging from easygoing lakeside cruises to the legendary Yabitsu Pass — nicknamed the 'Holy Land of Hill Climbs' — ensuring there's something for every fitness level.

SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding)

With coastlines on both Tokyo Bay and Sagami Bay, Kanagawa is a water-sports haven. The beaches around Zushi and Shonan are shallow and gentle, making them perfect for beginners. SUP is the ideal entry point: simply stand on your board, paddle, and glide across the water with views of Enoshima and Mount Fuji as your backdrop.

🏙️ SUP in the Urban Jungle: Perhaps the most surreal SUP experience in Japan awaits in Minato Mirai, Yokohama's futuristic waterfront district. Paddling through a canyon of gleaming skyscrapers — with the iconic skyline reflected in the water — is the kind of experience you won't find anywhere else. It's a uniquely Yokohama twist on a watersport typically associated with remote coastlines.

Adventure Courses & Obstacle Parks

Kanagawa is peppered with forest adventure parks offering treetop obstacle courses for all ages. Many feature multiple routes graded by difficulty, so families can tackle them together. For those with younger children, the prefecture's large public parks offer free adventure playgrounds that provide plenty of excitement without the price tag.

Hiking

Kanagawa's mountains may not be the tallest in Japan — most hover around 1,000 metres — but that's precisely what makes them so appealing. These low-altitude trails are accessible, beginner-friendly, and deliver stunning seasonal scenery without the gruelling climbs. Listen for birdsong, spot wildflowers along the path, soak in cherry blossoms in spring or fiery foliage in autumn. And the best part? After descending, a hot spring bath and a meal of hearty local cuisine are waiting to reward your efforts.
