Jikkoku Pass - Jikkoku Pass

Japanese: 十国峠 - じっこくとうげ
Jikkoku Pass - Jikkoku Pass

A pass on the border between Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture and Kannami Town, Tagata County. Also called Jushu Pass or Higanesan, it is 774 meters above sea level. The Atami-Hakone Toge Line, a major regional road that connects Atami Pass and Hakone Pass, runs north and south along the western slope of Jukoku Pass (Higanesan), and a cable car reaches the summit, so it is a popular tourist destination. The gently sloping grassland area around the summit is made of andesite lava from the Yugahara volcano, and the view stretches across 10 countries and 5 islands, hence the name. These include the 10 provinces of Sagami, Musashi, Kazusa, Shimousa, Awa, Suruga, Totomi, Shinano, Kai, and Izu, and the 5 islands of Oshima, Niijima, Kozushima, Miyakejima, and Shikinejima. There is a monument bearing a poem by Minamoto no Sanetomo, "When I cross the Hakone road, I see the waves rising in the sea of ​​Izu and the small islands offshore," written on his pilgrimage to the two shrines of Hakone Gongen and Izuyama Gongen. To the east is Hikaneyama Tokoji Temple. It takes about 35 minutes by bus from Atami Station to Jikkoku Toge Noboriguchi Station, and then a cable car to the top. There is also a hiking trail to the top of the mountain.

静岡県熱海市(あたみし)と田方(たがた)郡函南町(かんなみちょう)との境にある峠。十州峠、日金山(ひがねさん)ともいい、標高774メートル。熱海峠と箱根峠とを結ぶ主要地方道熱海・箱根峠線が十国峠(日金山)西斜面を南北に走り、ケーブルカーが山頂に達するので、観光客も多い。なだらかな草原状の山頂一帯は湯ヶ原火山の安山岩質溶岩からなる山体で、その眺望は10国5島に及ぶのが地名の由来である。相模(さがみ)、武蔵(むさし)、上総(かずさ)、下総(しもうさ)、安房(あわ)、駿河(するが)、遠江(とおとうみ)、信濃(しなの)、甲斐(かい)、伊豆(いず)の10国、大島、新島(にいじま)、神津(こうづ)島、三宅(みやけ)島、式根島の5島がそれにあたる。源実朝(さねとも)が箱根権現(ごんげん)と伊豆山権現の二所参りの途中に詠んだ「箱根路をわが越えくれば伊豆の海や沖の小島に波のよるみゆ」の歌碑のほか、東方には日金山東光寺がある。熱海駅から十国峠登り口駅までバス約35分、頂上までケーブルカーが通じる。また、山頂へのハイキングコースもある。
