Tsuta no hosomichi
The history of ”Tsuta-no-Hosomichi”, an old pass that goes through Utsunoya ridge, is old, and is said to have existed from the Nara period. It is recorded in ”Ise-Monogatari”. It had been unused due to Toyotomi Hideyosi building a new road north of the pass when attacking Odawara, but is currently used as a hiking course. The ridge is 210m high, and Mt. Fuji can be seen in good weather.
