Nice one Pavel!! Something to add to the description and history of the route: Derin's inspiration in creating it was to link together all the classical routes that TTR (Tokyo Trail Running club) uses in its events (typically ranging from 15 km to 20 km). So, shout out to Robert Self as well, as founder and leader of TTR
