This is a course that crosses Homo Pass from Kata, Owase OwaseCity to Nikijima KumanoCity.
The origin of the name "Jiro/Taro" is that it used to be the border between "Shima Province" and "Kiin Province", so it is a corruption of "own territory/other territory".
We also recommend going over the mountain pass to Tategasaki, where you can enjoy a quiet hike with beautiful stone pavements and wild boar hedges.

○Course points: Asuka Shrine - South and North Checkpoint Ruins - Homo Pass -Tategasaki- Inogaki - Jimmu Tosei, etc.
○Walking time: Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes
○Distance: Approximately 5km (JR Kata Station - JR Nikishima Station)
