4K Scenic Drive Kirigamine to Suwa City, Japan

An early morning drive from Mt. Kirigamine (Mt. Kurumayama) to Suwa city, Nagano, Japan.
The drive starts at Lake Shirakaba observatory in Kirigamine and goes down to Suwa city (Alt. 759m) through Pref. Rd. 40 and Venus Line. This is a remake of the Kirigamine video previously posted.

Fujimidai Observatory is one of the best observatories where you can see Mt. Fuji, the Southern Alps, and the Central Alps at once. The freezing temperature (- 15 degrees) allowed diamond dust to welcome us there on this trip.

  1. Here where I live we're currently having a 38ºc summer, so seeing this footage is rather soothing. Thank you for sharing!

  2. 14:54
    Many take photos of Mt. Tateshina in front and Mt. Fuji in the distance in winter from an altitude of 1900m.
    16:00
    You will encounter a herd of deer around here all year round. Too many wild deer in Japan

    Venus Line is my favorite driving route.
    Utsukushigahara Plateau, located north of the course, is gorgeous , but unfortunately that section is closed in winter due to heavy snowfall.

  3. 99% of cases i don't like snow, but this is the 1% of the provability. Beautiful country.
