Cumulative | Distance | Where | Notes | Direction | Elevation | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0km | 0km | Kasubuchi, Misatochou, Shimaneken | Start up the main street through the middle of the town of Kasubuchi (粕淵). | SSW | 184° | 65m |
0.9km | 0.9km | Turn right off the main road as you cross over a little stream. | NW | 306° | 57m | |
1.4km | 0.5km | At the far end of the bridge turn right and then take the rightmost fork of the two roads. This leads down under the end of the railway bridge. | NW | 298° | 55m | |
1.5km | 0.2km | Noi(野井) | Turn left after passing under the bridge and continue through the small hamlet of Noi | WSW | 229° | 49m |
2.6km | 1.1km | Scenic riverside views. There is very limited traffic but be careful because the road is very narrow | SSE | 139° | 41m | |
3.4km | 0.7km | Definitely another viewpoint moment. Look back up the river to Kasubuchi | SW | 221° | 98m | |
4.2km | 0.9km | Akatsuka (明塚) | Another little villagette | S | 175° | 58m |
4.8km | 0.5km | The hydroelectric power outlet from the Hamahara dam is here. The water flows straight through the hill | SSW | 202° | 43m | |
5.2km | 0.4km | Monkeys have been seen here | WSW | 230° | 40m | |
6km | 0.8km | Ago (吾郷) | The Ago bridge (Ago ohashi) is surprisingly photogenic for a lump of blue painted steel. It also makes a great point for more photos in both directions | NNE | 14° | 84m |
6.3km | 0.3km | It may be worth making a slight detour up the hill to the left here (road signed Okuyama - 奥山) until you come to the Shinto shrine which is IMO quite picturesque | E | 78° | 43m | |
7.6km | 1.3km | Assuming clear non-hazy weather the view from here towards Kasubuchi with Mt Sanbe in the background is really striking | NNW | 342° | 48m | |
10.1km | 2.5km | Pop down the boat ramp here to river level and enjoy views of the temple, the railway bridge and lots of reflections in the river | NNE | 5° | 55m | |
10.7km | 0.6km | W | 270° | 62m |
