Tochimotoseki Remains

Awesome.

I went to see the signboard while walking around Chichibu and saw it. I am surprised that the barrier station is also in such a place. I am deeply moved to think that old people were coming and going over a difficult pass.

Visited by bike touring

The view of the mountains from there is wonderful! It wasn't a tourist destination at all, and there was only one shop where you could buy drinks, but that's wonderful again. Recommended for those who like the countryside and unexplored areas. I wanted to stay, but it seems that most of the guest houses are closed.

there's a barrier here...!

The site of the barrier that leads to the Ganezaka Pass in Tochimoto, former Otaki Village. It is said that it was built during the time of Shingen Takeda, but how did it be built in this mountainous area? This is the only place in Saitama Prefecture where you can see such a scenery.

It's hard to drive, but the scenery is wonderful.

I used the car navigation system, but it was still a narrow road and it was quite difficult. However, the view from the barrier was wonderful as if I had traveled back in time in the Edo period. There was a guide who seemed to explain, but I didn't talk about it. There is no parking lot, so please sneak on the road.

Chichibu is back

It's a pretty tight place without a car. The width of the road is narrow, so please drive slowly and safely. However, there are shelters and parking lots in some places, so please use them well. The scenery in front of the barrier is worth a visit. The scenery of the mountain village is highly recommended.
