The driver only runs to the skate rink turnoff and does a U turn. This is because the local touge runners do not want to make too much noise and disturb the onsen town at the bottom of the road. A descriptive video will come later about the course.
How it is supposed to be. Nobody will call the cops on you, if you keep it to yourself and dont disturb or endanger other people. Just show respect and care for other people and they will do too.
Total common sense to me. Too many good roads become verboten because of a few stupid oiks who ruin it for everyone else. I have my own "secret" routes here in Austria and on my drives I pass through more than one or two small villages, I make it a habit to get off the loud pedal and SLOW down well before I reach the village limits and not hammer it for at least 1/2 a mile after I leave.
Meanwhile, the boyfriend is with a Top Shelf escort named Mercedes and goes home to his treasured car collection because he hasn't any need for a long term girlfriend.
As well as not disturbing the onsen there’s also the the “slight” problem of the five consecutive hairpins having speed bumps upsetting the rhythm of most drivers

Its as far away as the Moon for me in these strange times, sadly…. I have been there twice, it was big fun! And I will be back if possible. And now I am going to rewatch Initial D S1, E1 🔥🎌🚗
Others go to Japan: Let's visit Tokyo Me: Gotta rent an AE86, next stop, akina mountain pass! Fun fact, remember the place where Iketani and speed stars parking? Look back the manga there's building and the water tower beside it. They demolished the building but thanks to Initial D for making this mountain pass well known around the world, they decided to keep the water tower intact as an icon to Akina mountain pass.
Yeah, especially in the battle against Ryosuke, the dual-radius corner near the end takes SO LONG to go through, because there was a dramatic overtake there, and its even longer in Legend 3.
Very respectful driving on a public road havin fun but keepin it relatively safe there’s inherent risk but this is how you lower them great driving man!
God dude it's so weird seeing this track that I've raced in dozens of times in Initial D Special Stage irl. 1:07 Hell there's even a slow right to sharp left.

I did this drive when I was in Japan in an ek Civic Type R. Great road, Mount Haruna is the name of the mountain. Did Hakone in a GT-R too, can’t wait to go back and do it again.
accorded to recent touge videos, the mont akina have now speed limiter bumps in the 4 headpin curves, Akina is no longer were the real touges battles are happening, but there still a bunch of mounts avilable some are even specialy dedicated for touge

3/5 stars for lack of kansei dorifto. Must be Nakazato driving.

1/10 for no Gutter Runs
