「 子の権現」 Nenogongen circuit 2 (64km, 1200m climb, 2hr45) from Ome

This is a more scenic route with many small interesting shrines to be seen along the way. The roads are generally quiet and the surface is good. The last 300m climb to Nenogongen is about 20% incline!
See Nenogongen circuit1 for a more direct route to/from Nenogongen approaching the top from the less steep West side.

Notes:
The temple at Nenogongen is a good visit. The corresponding God(s) apparently has (have) powers to heal problems with feet, so some Japanese people visit just to pray for foot health.
