【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.

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.
