Uesugi Kenshin sends salt to Takeda Shingen and is known for the story “Sending Salt to the Enemy.” Stone Buddhas are placed along the highway connecting the Sea of Japan and Matsumoto, and it is a course where you can catch a glimpse of life unchanged from the past. The first mountain range was up and down from Cortina to Tsugaike Kogen. Let's go all the way to the Chaodomine Stone Monument and enjoy the spectacular view. After crossing a panoramic bridge with a height of 40 meters overlooking rice terraces, it slowly descends and crosses the Himekawa River. After being soothed by the murmuring and murmuring of Mita and Oide in Shioshima, it was a slow and long climb again. Prioritize safety at the Mima Tunnel and take a detour to the old road. The slope gets tough around Poka Poka Land, but once you cross the mountain pass, you can take a break at Nakayama Kogen, where you can eat Shingyo, famous for handmade soba, or game lunch. After that, I want to go down to Omachi city, pass through apple orchards and cherry blossom trees on the tourist road, and if I can afford it, stop by Chojiya and enjoy walking around the townhouses.
