December 25, 2000 The vicinity of Nagano, Yamanashi Pref. Running through Takada Shingen Bo-michi in winter.

It was still worm maybe because of the heat of last summer though the temperature around bo-michi is usually under 0¡î on Christmas day. There are many bo-michi lengthwise and crosswise; this road that leads to Suwa is one of them, which runs parallel with Mt. Yatsugatake.

Cars can run into some bo-michi but as this lane is narrow, posts are set up to stop cars.

There are stairs lead to the new lane.

Though this road is cut by new lanes here and there, it is best for strolling and jogging and is not so dangerous as Yatsugatake road that traverse Mt.Yatsugatake.
