【Driving in Japan】Hokushin Gogaku Road: Yoshi - Kashiwabara [Insta 360 Ace Pro 4K60P]

Nagano Prefecture is surrounded by 3,000m-class mountains, such as the Alps and Mt. Yatsugatake, and is often referred to as the ``roof of Japan.'' However, for residents around Nagano City, the most familiar and symbolic mountains are the "Hokushin Gogaku (Five Mountains)''.

The "Hokushin Gogaku'' is a general term for five mountains: Mt. Myoko, Mt. Madarao, Mt. Kurohime, Mt. Togakushi, and Mt. Iizawa. The lowest mountain, Mt. Madarao, is at 1,381 m, and the highest, Mt. Myoko, is 2,454 m. Except for Mt. Madarao, it is designated as part of the Myoko-Togakushi Range National Park.

The "Hokushin Gogaku Road'' that I drove this time was named because, as the name suggests, these mountains can be seen from the roadside. Construction began in 1992 by Nagano Prefecture as a wide-area farm road, and the final section opened in December 2016, bringing the entire line into service.
