In the Warring States Period, in the battle between Yonezawa in Yamagata Prefecture and Aizu, soldiers passed along this road via Shirabu Pass on foot or on horseback. It is a road connecting between Shirabu Takayu to Wasezawa (17.8 km). As you go up or down the hairpin curves with Mount Bandai in your sights, Lake Hibara soon appears.
