view the big map with a meters above the sea level graph
| The National highway No.11, that links Tokushima to Takamatsu, has changed the route twice. The route that was used until 1953 has been left as a prefectural road. However, the oldest route, which was built in 1875 and used until 1920, is a disused road now. |
 There was a monument at the starting point of that road. I imagined the time when this place was a trunk line. |
The roadbed was made strong and the way was left clear. However, nobody goes now because has been forgotten, and does not appear on any map. When I approached the mountain pass, the road had been covered by bamboo. I got off my bicycle and pushed it.  |
A bright view opened up when I passed through the shadowy mountain path. It may be 50 years since a person last went this way.  70.56Km / 6hours |
