Gojo Falls was off limits on this day, I did not know whether I will come in the future or not.
The outlook from Mt. Hiwada is wonderful and Kinchakuda had a festival of Cluster amaryllis and it was very crowded.

After the running is over, I ran from the end point of Koma Pass and got to a hot spring about 30 minutes.
This hot spring is named “Miyazawa Lake Spa Kiraku-bettei”, the bathing fee of the hot spring is 1000 yen.
From Hot Springs to Hanno Station is about ten minutes by bus.
