Located at 1,531m, the highest altitude among the five highways, it is the pass that was the biggest difficulty of Nakasendo because the distance between posts is very long. Currently, you can enter Nakasendo from the intersection of the Venus Line and Nakasendo to the Wada Pass. On the pass, there was a stone monument written as "Nakasendo".

Wada toge pass in midsummer

Original Text

Last week, I went to Wada Pass (old road) on a walk along the Nakasendo road. Depart Shimosuwa before 6 o'clock and arrive at the summit at 11:40. The view from the pass was very nice and worth it. The slope from Nishimochiya was very steep, and the vicinity of the summit was kumasasa and the sun was unobstructed. The downhill to Higashi Mochiya was improved compared to the Kyoto side (West side), and the slope was not tight. However, it was far from Wada Pass.

Be careful.

The Wada Pass has long shaded roads, so you must pass by carefully when freezing. The clear weather rate is high, so it's good not to stop due to heavy snow. Now in early December, there is no snow or freezing!
