The northern starting point. Walk this gentle path alongside scenery rich in variation from rugged reefs to natural lawns, green pines and white sands. Encounter different animals and flowers by season: Black-Tailed Gulls, gods of the sea for fishermen, and brilliant pink rugosa roses. This route has all kinds of attractions, from rural villages to village woodlands and the seashore. Move inland to find nostalgic shopping streets, mysterious giant trees, and the view from the top of Mt. Hashikamidake, known for its rhododendrons and spring water. Savor the seafood of the season like sea urchins, abalone, and sea squirts, and encounter fishing history and techniques. This route is relatively flat, with minimal ups and downs excluding the Mt. Hashikamidake portion.
