This mountain has approximately 1,000 m.

So, we have to climb at least 800 m from the base of the mountain to top of the mountain path.
I will explain why this place is the most popular in our region.

As you know, I am into cycling for 10 years.
But, when I go to the mountain for the first time, I have touched the ground 5 times.

My confident broke at that time quickly.

There were a lot of steep slope.
You can see incredible steep slope and experience suddenly.
I believe that the architect misunderstand the blueprint of the road when he made the blueprint.
So, if you are serious cyclist, you can visit the place.

“How to clear this road.”

If you can go to the place with your bike, you must be surprised about the steep slope.
So, you must not effort for the first stage.
Generally speaking, common mountain has steep slopes a part of finish.
But, in contrast, this mountain has steep slopes at a part of first suddenly.
Thats why, you should save your power to get the goal safely.

Moreover, for the first point, there are boring and steep roads with forest.
If you can get the point of steep roads, you can arrive at the many curve road.

This point is called “magic road” from local people, because, dispite over 10 % steep, I can misunderstand regarding to flat roads.
If you can get the steep roads point, you can experience nature magic roads.

If you can get over 500 m, you can feel comfortable.
This world, there is only you and your bike.
You can see the wild animals such as Japanese monkey, huge deer, and mountain pig.
You might see a bear called “Tsukinowa guma” that he is king of the mountain.
