Route No.5
Origin and History of the name of 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.
