This is the first pass on the Iseji after you start walking from Ise Jingu and is 120 m high. When you start to climb from the north trailhead, the paved road turns into a dirt trail and what seem like ruts from old wagons that have passed through are scarred into the bed rock.
In addition, the narrow passage excavated from the phyllite remains, with the area around it overgrown with bamboo. At the south trailhead, there is a line of low, forest-covered mountains and you pass through idyllic villages along the Miyagawa River. This was the main road until a tunnel was built in 1934.
