Today’s Walk was from Shimi-Hatsukari, the 44th shukuba station from Nihonbashi, to Amida Kaido, the 31th station.
The road goes in the mountainous areas. The leaves started to change their colors. The air was fresh.
I
started today’s walk from JR Hatsukari railway station.
Shimo-Hatsukari shukuba station is quite near from the railway station. Koshu Kaido is now converted into National Route 20 around this area.
Naka-Hatsukari shukuba station is only about 500 meters from Shimi-Hatsukari. Both shukuba stations were small.
The monument of the main inn in the Edo era stands along the road.
Old Koshu Kaido moves westward. Chuo express as well as JR Chuo Line run along Koshu Kaido.
The Highway has been built in the mountain in some parts. Lands have been carved and bridges have been built.
Some slopes of the mountains are covered with concrete walls.
I saw cautions for natural disasters, including mountain tsunami, in several parts.
Sasago River flowes along Old Koshu Kaido. (See the top photo)
I arrived in Shirano shukuba station. It was also a small shukuba station.

I moved westwards and found several factories, such as lumber mills, at the sides of the road.
I moved into Amida-Kaido shukuba station. It was also a small shukuba station. (See the 2nd photo)
