The tour begins at JR Higashi-Zushi Station.
From there the entrance to the approach to the ancient temple is quite close. Follow the approach through a stone path and fern-covered forest to reach the ancient mass grave site and the austere JINMUJI Temple over 1,000 years.
Climb the rock-dotted path and pass through a slightly thrilling chain-link passage to reach the summit 139 meters above sea level, where you will have a spectacular 360-degree view. It is a perfect place for a commemorative photo.
After taking a break at the summit, which has long been a famous climbing spot in Japan, continue on to a path in the forest towards gigantic Buddha carved in the stone.
At the foot of the Mt. Takatoriyama, enjoy having a lunch at one of local restaurant.
Finally explore the naval port town Yokosuka taking a cruise ship on board.
The only cruising tour in Japan that offers a close-up view of U.S. Navy and Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels.
