This time is the familiar Mt. Nijo.
It is a binaural peak that rises in the northern part of the Kongo Mountains, and has a very cute mountain range.
The sun reflected on Mt. Nijo is very divine, and its fantastic scenery seems to have remained in people's hearts since ancient times.

There are many historical places around Mt. Nijo, and Japan's oldest public road "Takenouchi Kaido" runs through it.
The Takenouchi Kaido, which connects Osaka to Nara, is a good way to walk.
It seems that people in the old days gave place names to such a long road.
The area around Habikino City, Osaka Prefecture, which is located along the highway, is named "Near Asuka", and the area around Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture is named "Far Asuka".
It's just a difference between near and far, but it feels fashionable.

This time, we will climb Mt. Nijo from "Roadside Station Near Asuka no Sato" on the Osaka side.
Does Rokuwatari Road have the same old history as Takenouchi Kaido?
It's fun to walk while thinking about various things.
