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.
