To a torii peak
 |
It passes
not along a main artery but along an old road, and will
go south from a Narai-Jyuku.
This is on the way of the peak. |
|
 |
The figure
of a monkey was in sight the middle.
It escapes and goes at full speed ...
too -- a mountain -- there is such a thing in deep
land |
|
| The thicket
of trees is wonderful.
Too, the real thrill of a trip of a bicycle is in
the place passing through such a way. |
 |
|
 |
It runs enjoying
a gravel road. |
|
| And on the
way, such a wonderful scene |

Data of a torii peak :
The peak on the boundary of the Nagano western part, Narakawa-mura,
and Kiso-mura.
It is the difficult place located between the Kiso valley
and the Matsumoto basin.
The watershed in the Narai river of the Shinano River basin
system out of which drops off to the Sea of Japan and it
comes, and Kisogawa with which the Pacific Ocean is filled
is made.
Altitude of 1197m Since the time when Kisoji was opened
at ancient times was the border in Mino and Shinano, it
was called Agasada hill.
A Warring States term, since Yoshimoto Kiso was fighting
with Mr. Ogasawara, and the name of a peak prayed for the
victory toward Mt. Ontake from the peak and gained a brilliant
victory, it is based on the tradition which dedicated torii
to the peak.
When maintenance of Nakasendo was carried out to the Edo
period, the traffic of both man and horse increased rapidly,
the travelers who refrain from the peak known as a difficult
place exceeding, and take the hotel of a night at the foot
increased in number, and the Yabuhara hotel prospered to
a Narai-Jyuku and on the south on the north side.
