【Koiji Pass】
Koiji Pass on the border of Okuwa Village and Town/Village of Nagiso Town. It is 😍 a romance highway that is said to have been named after a man and a woman who fell in love across the mountain pass

This time, from Okuwa Village to Nagiso Town!
↓
Head to the entrance of the pass to admire the beautiful view from the Athira Bridge, where the Atera Canyon in Okuwa Village is located.
↓
Follow the path shown in the second photo to the Observation decks
You may even meet a sawa crab on the way!
↓
At the top of the pass, there is a stone monument of "Koiji Pass" and a heart-shaped "Bell of Fulfillment" There are.
↓
For the time being, please look sideways at the bell of fulfillment and climb up to the Observation decks first. If the weather is good, you can see the majestic mountains such as Komagatake.
↓
And to the bell of fulfillment!
If you ring the bell after admiring the beautiful view from the observation decks, your wish will be fulfilled! 👏👏👏
↓
After ringing the bell of fulfillment with a wish, go down the pass.

What was waiting for me at the end of the descent was the superb view Spot "Kakizore Canyon"
This view is a sight to 😮 behold every time

It is a walking course of about 10 km from Nojiri Station through Koiji Pass to Jujikane Station.
Of course, Nakasendo is also recommended, but Hiking this Koiji Pass is also recommended! !!
