The Kamakurakyo (鎌倉峡, Kamakura-kyō) is a geographical area that is located in the Rokko Mountains, Hyōgo, Japan. This valley is a part of Setonaikai National Park in Japan.
The name of Kamakura Valley originated from a historical anecdote: In the 13th century, Hōjō Tokiyori, the Shikken, or regent, for the shōgun, visited this valley and praised the beauty.
This valley is along the Funazaka River, which is a branch of the Muko River. The length of the valley is about two kilometers. This valley was made by the river, which eroded the liparite stone, resulting the tall cliff faces along the river. This valley has the famous Hyakujo Rock, which is a land mark and a popular climbing spot.
