The path of faith from Odomari to Hatasu.
In the era when Kannon worship was popular, Kannon Road, which was lined with stone statues of Kannon from 33 places in Saigoku, was often used instead of Obuki Pass Road.
At the Kannon-do Hall at the top, there are still stone Buddhas and other artifacts that give you a sense of the times, giving you a sense of the history of this path.
This Kannon-do Hall was built by Sakanoue Tamuramaro in the 4th year of Daido (809), and there is a legend that it exterminates demons.
This is a relatively easy course among the old roads, with no steep climbs.
