Nikishima Pass/Aikamizaka Pass (Kumano Kodo Iseji Route) Nigishima Touge/Oukamizakatoge
This route connects Nikijima in KumanoCity and Atashika, and the JR Ogamizaka Tunnel runs almost directly below it.
When you enter the old road from Nikijima, which has long been known as a whaling village, you will find a mountain forest of cedar and cypress, with a neat cobblestone road running almost all the way, making it a popular course for hikers who can enjoy moderate ups and downs.
The course is also a beautiful mountain path with moss covered cobblestones and stone walls.
There is also a theory that ``Aishin'' means the place where the gods of Ise and Kumano meet, and that it is because wolves once appeared here.
○Course points: Jimmu Tosei - Christian lanterns - Inogaki - Miura Kurira's haiku monument - Satokawa signpost, etc.
○Walking time: Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes
○Distance: Approximately 4.5km (JR Nikishima Station - JR Atashika Station)
○ Rest spot:---
