Two massive old Keyaki Tree stand on this junction. In their shadow you will find the ruins of a Kofun tumulus, a shrine, and several stone memorials, among them a beautiful paired road deity (sōtai dōsojin). From here the old Gosengoku Kaidō road runs in southern direction. If you follow the Gosengoku Kaidō for 9.6 kilometers you will arrive at Shiojiri-juku on the Nakasendō.
