This road is said by pilgrims to be ``the most difficult place in the western country,'' and was once infested with bandits and wolves.
Beyond Yakiyama, you can see many Jizo statues, stone Buddhas, and pilgrim tombstones that serve as town stones next to the cobblestone road.
The descent to Miki-sato is divided into ``Edo-michi'' and ``Meiji-michi.'' From ``Sakura no Mori'' at the end of Miki Pass, you can see the Kumanonada Sea, and it is a grassy field, so it is recommended for a lunch break. This is the location.
The path is steep both up and down, but if you are confident in your physical strength, why not give it a try and experience the feeling of being a pilgrim of old?
