Nisaka Touge (Kumano Kodo Iseji Route)
A mountain pass between TaikiTown and KihokuTown.
From the early to mid-Edo period, it became the official gateway to Kishu, replacing TsuZurato-togePass, following the entry of Lord Tokugawa Yorinobu.
Current National Route 42 and JR Kisei Line also cross the Kasaka Pass.
The road is wide and has a gentle slope, making it an easy walk. It is said that it got its name because it was able to cross the mountain carrying heavy loads.
Along the way, Okimi-daira is a resting place with a great view, and there is a wooden board with two poems written by the Edo period travel writer Makiyuki Suzuki.
The course has many broad-leaved trees, and you can enjoy a variety of plants in each season, including azaleas around April.
○Course points: Ruins of tea houses and stone Buddhas at Kasaka Pass – Ruins of Ichirizuka – Ruins of medicinal herb gardens – Katakami Pond, etc.
○Walking time: Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes
○Distance: Approximately 8km (JR Umegaya Station - JR nagashima Station)
○ Resting spots: Michi-no-eki Kii-NagashimaManbo, Fureai Hiroba Mandoro, etc.
