苗木城 四十八曲り

It is a hiking course in the opposite direction to the parking lot and the museum.

This route leads from the Naegi Castle Daimon to the Kisogawa area. There are also stone bridges that seem to be rugged along the way, as well as ruins that seem to have been excavated. As the name suggests, it is a mountain path that winds down the bamboo forest. It is also a route for the walking course (Nakatsugawa Station-Naegi Castle) for accessing Naegi Castle in Nakatsugawa City.

Naegi Castle 48 is a hiking course that aims at Naegi Castle from the bank of the Kiso River without using a regular parking lot, but the marker is at the top of Naegi Castle (goal point). The trailhead is 35 ° 30'47.9 "N 137 ° 29'16.7" E Near the point. It seems that you can already follow the 48th turn in GOOGLE Street View, so if you are interested, we recommend that you try it. Actually I originally planned to visit using the official parking lot of Naegi Castle, but there is almost no battery capacity of the smartphone that also serves as a navigation and when I aimed at Naegi Castle with a paper map, this minor hiking course As soon as you have arrived at. I entered a narrow road from National Route 257 and found a mountain climbing gate while stepping on a lot of squirrels from the season of September and the land pattern of Ena. I decided to park there. I found an old iron bridge trace right next to the place where the car was stopped, and I felt that it was probably the remains of Kita Ena Railway. Later, when I went home and examined it, it turned out to be the former Kita Ena Railway Uechi Railway Bridge. This bridge is not registered in the GOOGLE map, so I will try to request a new registration. The reason for giving up the official parking lot and making an immediate decision to the Naegi Castle attack on the hiking course was already past 17:00 and it was close to sunset. The sunset time was around 17:45, so it was speed trekking because I wanted to keep up with the sunset. Run up the mountain path as if you were running at tremendous speed. I really believed that there were forty-eight turns, but it seems that there were actually no forty-eight turns. There was an unbelievable amount of squirrels on the way, but I couldn't keep up with it and I aimed for the goal. I arrived at Honmaru around 17:20, so I guess I ran up the mountain road in about 15 minutes. Furthermore, we arrive at the top of the observation deck around 17:25. However, although it arrived just before sunset, there were a lot of clouds covering the sky, and the sunset was hiding. I took several photos at Naegi Castle and then descended, but I was surprised at the amount of squirrels that covered the hiking course. When I looked more calmly and looked closely, it seemed that the mushrooms were growing all over the place, so I took a picture of them. At around 17:50, we finally arrived at the place where we parked the car, but using this course to aim at Naegi Castle was in a sense impressed. However, this hiking course has very bad parking conditions. Point where the car was parked 35 ° 30'50.2 "N 137 ° 29'18.3" E If you remove the point directly under the former Kita Ena Railway Uechi Railway Bridge, you can only imagine parking around. Perhaps the Naegijo Castle's 48-turn marker position was deliberately placed at the top of the mountain, and there was a poor parking lot situation. If you can clear the parking situation, I think Naegijo 48 is a wonderful route.
