One of the legendary mountain passes of the Akiha Kodo (National Route 152), 1424 meters above sea level, between Ina City and Oshika Village. From here you have a fantastic view of the Japan Median Tectonic Line Valley. There are also small trail which are remnants of the old Akiha Kodo pilgrimage road. There is a so-called power spot close by, where the magnetic field of the earth is said to particularly weak.
