Asaina Pass, Mountain pass entrance in Asahina-chō, Japan

The Asaina Pass cuts through steep cliffs, featuring carved stone paths that stretch between Kanazawa and Juniso entrances in Kamakura.

Constructed in 1241 under Yasutoki Hojo's direction, this passage served as a vital transportation route to Mutsuura port during the Kamakura period.

The Kumano Shrine along the trail represents the connection between transportation routes and religious practices in medieval Japanese society.

Visitors can access the trail by taking the Keikyu Line to Kanazawa Hakkei station, followed by a bus ride toward Ofuna station.

The path maintains different characteristics on each end, with the Yokohama side showing modern improvements while the Kamakura portion retains original features.
