Oyashirazu-Koshirazu

Oyashirazu-Koshirazu called Tenka-no-Ken is a difficult part of the greatest traffic in Hokurikudou

Oyashirazu-Koshirazu is a precipitous cliff at the westernmost end of Itoigawa in Hokurikudou and Niigata Prefecture, is the hardest part in Hokurikudou which crosses and follows 15km of east and west centering on the Oyashirazu station, and is just going to call the steepness as a difficult part of the traffic, therefore Tenka-no-Ken again. It hit the northernmost end of the volcanic region which bisects Japan called the Itoigawa Shizuoka tectonic line, and it is made of the north Alps of the northernmost end having fallen in the Sea of Japan directly. For this reason, the steep precipitous cliff continued also over 15km, and has been called the from ancient times more greatest difficult part in Hokurikudou. The time when digging technology, such as a tunnel, was not developed like the present had to progress Hokurikudou through few crevices between this cliff and the Sea of Japan. And probably, it was impossible since the steeper mountain range also for it also bypassing was back. If I have you see, most coastlines will be precipitous cliffs and old people who travel in this will be considered to have crossed this desperately, while avoiding a wave, or while hanging on to the rock so that it may understand. It seems that such a thing which a margin for parents to look back upon a child and for a child look back upon parents does not have, either and which the figure had disappeared when turned round became the origin of the name of Oyashirazu-Koshirazu.
