100 Selected Walking Paths遊歩百選
About this collection
The "100 Selected Walking Paths" were chosen in 2002 as part of the 50th anniversary project of the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper. The selection was made through public voting and a selection committee. The main criterion for selection is that the path is a scenic and pleasant walkway.
The selection was inspired by the health boom associated with walking and similar activities, emphasizing health, environment, and tourism as key themes.
In Hokkaido and the Tohoku region, the Oirase Gorge in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, was selected. It is a stream within Towada-Hachimantai National Park, known as a natural monument with many waterfalls.
In the Kanto region, several paths were chosen. In Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, there is a natural park and three famous spots. In Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, another famous site known as "Another Nikko" was selected. Tokyo itself was included, with Sumida and Koto wards chosen.
The "Opening Port Road" in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, was selected. Also, the "West Sagami Federation," consisting of Odawara City, Hakone Town, Manazuru Town, and Yugawara Town in Kanagawa Prefecture, was chosen.
In the Chubu region, paths such as the northern approach to Mount Fuji, the Nakasendo route, and the old Hakone highway were selected.
In the Kinki region, the Fushimi district in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, was selected, as well as the bamboo grove "Kaguya-hime no Sato" in Muko City, Kyoto Prefecture.
