This is a dirt trail that follows the coastline from Furusato to Doze, and was opened in the Meiji Period. From the lookout point, you can see the beautiful islands of Kiino-Matsushima floating in the Kumano-nada Sea. In the Edo Period, Nokogiri-zaka, which is above the current Kaino Tunnel of the JR Kisei Main Line, was the route over the mountain, but it is no longer used due to the construction of the railway.

At 73 m above sea level, Ikkoku-toge Pass is a gentle pass covered with cedar and cypress trees. A Jizo statue stands at the northern trailhead, and there is a small pass also known as Hirakata-toge Pass on the southern side of the trailhead.

At Okimi-daira, with beautiful views and where pilgrims aiming for the Kumano Sanzan from Ise get their first view of the Kumano sea, there is a wooden board with a two-line poem written by Bokushi Suzuki, a travel writer of the Edo Period. From April to May azaleas bloom, adding a splash of brilliant color to the fresh green leaves.

At 241 m above sea level, Nisaka-toge Pass has less difference in elevation compared to Tsuzurato-toge Pass, which it runs parallel to. There is a tea house, which doubled as an inn, on this pass, which was opened in the early Edo Period. From the Taisho Period to the Showa Period, there were usually four to five rickshaws parked here as a stopping point, but the tea house was shut following the opening of the railway in 1930. The gentle Meiji-michi and the steep Edo-michi also remain in parallel.

At 357 m above sea level, Tsuzuratotoge Pass is the pass at the border to Ise Province and Kii Province under the old geographical boundaries, and is the pass where pilgrims aiming for the Kumano Sanzan from Ise see the sea of Kumano for the first time. Even after Nisaka-toge Pass became the official entrance to Kii Province from the Edo Period on, Tsuzuratotoge Pass was used as a community road to the start of the Showa Period. The southern side of the pass faces a valley and rock walls and cobblestones made from natural stones are well preserved. “Tsuzurato” means “meandering.”
