Intersection of the Hongu-do Road and the Kitayama-michi Path
About 4 Km, 1 hrs. and 30 mins. from Ippoippo bus stop to Ushiroji bus stop
Fuden-toge Pass forms the boundary between Mihama-cho and Kiwa-cho. the Hongu-do Road coming from Arima leads to the Kitayama-michi Path. The pass played an important role in connecting seaside areas and mountain villages. “Fuden” originally means“wind blowing through”.
Oroshi located at the foot of the pass, is named after “Fuden-oroshi” meaning“ wind blowing down”. Though the ancient trail of Kumano Kodo is now disconnected in some places by Route 311, a former national highway, it still leads to the pass and descends to Kiwa-cho.
