Utsunoya Pass

Japan

The Utsunoya-tōge Pass (Utsunoya-tōge) is a mountain pass on the old Tōkaidō highway connecting eastern Japan with imperial capital of Kyoto. Located between former Mariko-juku in what is now Suruga-ku, Shizuoka, and Okabe-juku in what is now Fujieda, it is the only portion of the original Heian period road known to have survived to the present day, and a one kilometer stretch of the road was proclaimed a National Historic Site on February 22, 2010.
