Alpine view

It's a fantastic route for cycling with the highest roads in Japan. And it's closed to traffic, buses and bicycles only.

Great photography with “Picture of the Day” lately.

Photographers and hikers, we have ave seen 2 bear sows (2 cubs each!) and several inoshishi sows with many young foraging in the lowlands and forests during our springtime hikes.

If you are a new photography and hiking enthusiast, stay aware while taking pictures and stay far away from wild animals.
