Kasagi Sight Navigation No.22

Explanation Of Hiking Courses

Kyu-Iga-Kaido (Old Road To Iga) Course

<one way: 2km, 40minutes>



As its name implies, this
course was once a main route to Iga Town.
Though the road is paved, you have to cross one mountain peak, whose
slope is rather tough.



At its peak, you will see a Buddhist Jizo
Stone Statue, which is believed to have been protecting passers-by from any
trouble. Even now local people bow to
this statue with respect when passing by it.
They also believe that this Jizo has power to give babies to a couple
with no children.



At the end of this course, you see a huge
stump. Years ago a magnificient cedar
tree was struck by lightning. Though it
was cut down, its stump has been deified as a holy object.
