Japanese: 赤名峠 - あかなとうげ
Akana Pass - Akana Pass

A pass that forms a watershed on the border between Shimane and Hiroshima prefectures in the central part of the Chugoku Mountains. It is 630 meters above sea level. It has long been a strategic point connecting Izumo and Bingo, and a checkpoint and rest area were established here. The opening of the Akana Tunnel (597 meters long) on ​​National Route 54 in 1964 (Showa 39) significantly shortened the distance between Hiroshima and Matsue.
