Jukkoku Pass
Jukkoku Pass is a pass located 770m above sea level, on the border between Atami city and Kannami-cho in Shizuoka Prefecture.
This place was known as a sightseeing spot from ancient times, and the name was derived from the fact that people were able to see 10 of Japan’s feudal provinces from there, which were Izu, Sagami, Suruga, Totoumi, Kai, Shinano, Musashi, Awa, Kazusa and Shimousa.
These are the old names for the provinces that were used before the current prefecture system was set up.
These areas correspond to modern Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Shizuoka, Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures.
