Irohazaka Winding Road

Connecting central Nikko to Lake Chuzenji, this 15.8 km scenic road is a renowned tourist route. It consists of two separate roads: the "First Irohazaka" for descending and the "Second Irohazaka" for ascending. The road features 48 hairpin turns, named after the 48 characters of the ancient Japanese syllabary "Iroha." The origins of Irohazaka trace back to the mountain worship of Mt. Nantai, dating to the Nara period. Due to its sacred nature, the Okunikko area, which begins at Irohazaka, was considered holy, and women were prohibited from entering until the Meiji era. The area was developed and opened in the Showa era.
