Parking location
For this climbing course, we will use the parking lot at Manninko Joyato. The photo only shows part of the parking lot, but there is space for about 10 cars.
It's a two-hour walk each way from here to the summit, so it's best to use the public restroom near the parking lot.
Manninko Joyato is a Joyato that was built at Suzuka Pass about 270 years ago. It has now been relocated above the Suzuka Tunnel entrance and can be seen right near the parking lot.
How to get to the parking lot
By entering the Tokaido from the Suzuka Pass bypass on the Shiga Prefecture side, you can reach Manninko Joyato and the parking lot.
