Prefectural Route 45 Shimonita Usuda Line is a major regional road that runs from Shimonita Town, Gumma Prefecture to Usuda, Saku City, Nagano Prefecture. It crosses the 1,110-meter-high Taguchi Pass located in the central watershed.
This road was previously recorded from Saku City to Shimonita Town in March 2021, but this time it was recorded from the Shimonita side of the starting point to the end of the road. There is snow around the pass, as it snowed the day before.
As we have mentioned before, the area around Taguchi Pass is encroached by Nagano Prefecture on the Gumma Prefecture side east of the pass. There are various theories as to the reason for this, but the Kadokawa Dictionary of Japanese Place Names 20: Nagano Prefecture (Kadokawa Shoten, 1990) states the following The Lord of Shinshu Tanokuchi and a deputy of the Shogunate promised to race at dawn from both sides to establish the boundary at that time, and the place where they met would be the boundary. On the Shinshu side, they started off with their chickens crowing early, which allowed them to spread their territory across the pass to the Kanto side".
Considerably further down the Gumma side of the pass are the villages of Hirokawahara and Masaka, which belong to Saku City, Nagano Prefecture. The pass is narrow, steep, and has sharp curves, making it a rough road, but it is an essential part of the residents' lives, so the snow is removed during the winter and the road is open to traffic all year round.
