How many roads are included in Irohazaka?

Irohazaka consists of two roads, the ‘Old Road’ built in 1954 leading down from Lake Chūzenji to Nikko, while the ‘New Road’ built in 1965. Earlier toll was charged on these roads, but later they were made toll free. Today the old road is open to traffic only downstream. There is a stop point in the middle, where people stop to see the two waterfalls.

At the same time, the new road is open only for upward traffic, which runs till Akechidaira Plateau. However, this road passes through mountains covered with lush green trees, making driving here a different pleasure. Some people cite this road as their favorite place to drive.
