This pass is located on the border between Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture and Katashina Village, Tone County, Gunma Prefecture, at the saddle between Onsen-ga-take and Kinsei-san. It is 2,024 meters above sea level. A Kinseisha shrine is enshrined at the pass, and a hiking trail leads from Kinsei-san to Shirane-san. The 755-meter-long Kinsei Tunnel runs under the pass, and the 8.14-kilometer Kinsei Road, which connects Nikko Yumoto and Sugenuma, was opened in 1965, allowing automobile traffic on the entire National Route 120 between Nikko and Numata. However, it is closed in winter due to snow. [Mitsue Hirayama] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
