This is a view of Kazekaeshi pass from a road just under the Tsutsjiga-oka Hill. Beyond the pass, there is Omotetsukuba Skyline. There are two routes from Iwai-bashi bridge to Kazekaeshi pass. Route 1: Iwai-bashi bridge --15.4Km(including 4.0 Kilometers of slope) --Fudo pass -- 5.7Km-- Kazekaeshi pass. Route 2: Iwai-bashi Bridge--14.8Km(including 6.1 kilometers of slope) -- Kazekaeshi pass. The slope on the route 2 is said to be harder. I was afraid of passing on the Road R125, because street was congested with cars, and sidewalks ended off here and there.
View from the Omotetskuba Skyline(mountain highway). The left top is Mt. Nantai and the right top is Mt. Nyotai, and the right hill in front of those tops is Tsutsujiga-oka. Mt. Nyotai and Tsutsujiga-oka hill is connected by the aerial cable way. Unfortunately, bikes nor pedestrians can not go up above the Kazekaeshi pass. Mt. Nantai and Tsukuba-jinja Shrine is connected by the cable way.		There was a tollgate of Omotestskuba Skyline. The toll for bikes was 30 yen. Now it is changed to be freeway.
