Map and elevation
Times are estimates from distance and climb (no breaks)

The horizontal axis is the order of the route, not time: we have not confirmed this route's leg times against an official source. The ridge line simply joins the recorded points, so it does not show the real shape of the terrain. Total ascent is an approximation summed between those points.


Stop by stop
Section times are estimates from the path length, climb and descent (a formula fitted to Nagano Prefecture's grading table; typically within about 10%).
