Ogusu Mountain Kinugasa Trail & Ecomil Eco-Tunnel, Yokosuka, Kanagawa

About this place

Live Trail Stream | Ogusu Mountain Kinugasa Trailhead & Ecomil Tunnel, Yokosuka, Japan. Located at the green ecological gateway of the Miura Peninsula, this trailhead connects the scenic Kinugasa route leading up to Mount Ogusu (241 m)—the highest peak on the peninsula. Surrounded by lush cedar groves and rich native flora, the trailhead sits right beside Ecomil, Yokosuka's modern environmental education center, providing well-marked hiking paths that reward climbers with 360-degree summit panoramas of Tokyo Bay, Sagami Bay, and the Boso Peninsula.

Hikers fueling up in Yokosuka make pilgrimages to historic naval food icons. In the downtown district near the mountain foot, stop by century-old institution Tsunami Curry & Grill or Dobuita Dining to devor authentic Yokosuka Kaigun Navy Curry—a hearty, velvety beef curry served with fresh milk and sweet chutney based on the Imperial Japanese Navy's 1908 recipe. Alternatively, grab a colossal, juicy Yokosuka Navy Burger packed with 100% pure grilled beef patties at George's Burger before embarking up the trail.
