My absolute highlight on the Akiha Kodo (Shionomichi) from Kakegawa to Misakubo. Coming from the southe you leave the valley of the Tenryu River to climb a steep narrow road through a remote mountain hamlet. There are many historic and religious sites and the road is crossed by a small trail that once was the original Akiha Kodo pilgrimage route. After the pass the road gets narrow, about 80 cm. You might want to dismount and walk your bike. Seeing how people live in this remote place with an ancient history that view tourist ever visit is amazing. Because this section is in Shizuoka, the tourist signs say Shinshu Kaido (Nagano Road). I however am from Nagano, so I call it Akiha Kodo as it leads from Nagano in the North to the Akihasan Shrine in the South. Sorry, old Japanese street names are sort of relative from the point of the observer.
