❺ Twenty Cross

Route No.5

❺ Twenty Cross

Plenty of negative ions. This is a route where hikers can enjoy stream crossing. It stretches along a stream, so there are fewer ups and downs, unlike routes with ridges.
Be careful when the water level is high, such as after heavy rain. A detour route has been established near the Ajisai Plaza in the event of a slope collapse.

History

Origin and History of the name of Twenty Cross

 Twenty Cross

The name comes from the fact that the trail used to cross back and forth between the left bank and the right bank of the Nunobikidani stream as many as 20 times. Today, thanks to the completion of the Nunobiki Dam and a hiking trail, the number of times to cross back and forth has been reduced to only a few times. The trail is often used as part of the route up to Mt. Maya.
