📍Tashiro Bridge
The road from Kappa Bridge to Tashiro Bridge is very flat and easy to walk
There is a "Weston Monument" on the way that you can pay attention to

📍Tashiro Pond
There are two roads after crossing Tashiro Bridge: the forest line and the Azusagawa line
In summer, it is recommended to take the forest line, which is relatively cool and summer-proof
The Hotaka Mountain Range seen from Tashiro Pond is definitely not inferior to Kappa Bridge
There are also benches here that can be used as an intermediate supply station

📍Taisho Pond
The eruption of Yakedake volcano caused a lot of dead trees, and there are not many now. But the scenery of Yakedake and Taisho Pond is still unique

You can walk or take a bus near Taisho Pond back to Kappa Bridge, have a meal at Kappa Bridge and continue to Myojin
