Aperçu
Kii-Tonda Station à Mika-gawa Bus Stop
L’accès aux pistes commence à la gare de Kii-Tonda, traverse le village et la rivière Tonda-gawa, dans un décor rural varié (rizières, maisons anciennes…) jusqu’au temple Sodo-ji. L’entrée du sentier de randonnée Tonda-zaka se trouve à droite du temple.
Deux sites répertoriés au Patrimoine Mondial de l’UNESCO se trouvent le long de ce chemin : les ruines de Ichiru-matsu (emplacement d’une ancienne borne kilométrique en pierre) et les ruines du château d’Umantani.
Ne manquez pas de passer par le col d’Agotsujimatsu-toge pour admirer la vue panoramique avant de redescendre par des chemins forestiers de graviers et pavés.
La randonnée continue jusqu’à ce qui fut jadis le village d’Ago.
