| My targets of today are two old mountain passes. One is Sasago Pass. There, you will find the Koshu-kaido, built in the Edo era/17th century, through which a railroad and a highway pass now. Another is Misaka Pass. Located there is a road from the Kamakura era/12th century. According to legend, Yamato Takeru went through on an eastern expedition in the second century. Both roads I cycled today are old. The traffic decreased after a new tunnel was built. It is a good way to go by bicycle. The old Sasago tunnel is dignified despite the fact that the width is only 3.0m.  |
| Subsequently, when I tried to go up to Misaka Pass, there was a notice board which said that the route is closed. I was worried whether a bicycle could go or not. Fortunately for me, one cyclist came down. He is an Australian touring Japan. He said that if you carried your bicycle on your shoulder for 40m, you can pass through the mountain pass. His blogs are these. ride japan boat building practice |

 It was 40 meters precisely to have carried on.  |
The road closed to traffic was pleasantly peaceful.  |
