Kouchi Pref. Agawaguninochou Teragawa

"This road has a view of Mt. Ishizuchi, western Japan's highest peak and one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains. The road's name derives from the similarity of pronunciation between ""Yuho"", the original Japanese name and ""UFO."" It's a very popular driving route, and it has also appeared in Toyota commercials. The road runs about 27 kilometers through Kamegamori at an elevation ranging from 1,300 to 1,700 meters. Its superb scenery includes Akebono rhododendrons blooming in May, mountain hydrangea in July, and a geranium species called Shikokufuro in August. If your timing's right, September will let you see both colorful foliage and the landscape covered in frost. The road is closed from the end of November to the beginning of April."

曇り空でよく見られず、晴れていたら視界が開けたかと思います。狭い林道で、ガードレールがないところもありますから、普段運転しない方は時間の余裕があるがある移動をお勧めします。空に近いところを走りとても気分が良いところです。車一台がやっと通れる場所もありますので、対向車が来てないか見極めて行けば問題なしです。時間が許せば瓶ヶ森山に登ると更に素晴らしい景色が見られます。下山途中、突然うりぼうが崖...

Ehime Pref. Kamiukenagunkumakougenchou Wakayama

A driving route that runs around 18 kilometers and connects Omogo Gorge with the Mt. Ishizuchi trailhead. Confront the majesty of Mt. Ishizuchi as you run up the 850 meters elevation gain to the lodge at the mountain trailhead. On clear days you can stop mid-way at the Nagaone Viewing platform to see Goraiko Waterfall, one of Japan's 100 Best Waterfalls. There's also a spot to look at the majestic sight of Tengudake peak, the tallest point of Mt. Ishizuchi. This is also a well-known famous place to view the autumn colors and from the beginning to the end of October lots of tourists visit to pass through the colorful tunnel of leaves.

Ehime Areas

Stretched across the northwest corner of Shikoku island, Ehime is a nature-rich prefecture boasting beautiful coastlines and a rural center where mountains play host to 26 of the Buddhist temples that make up the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Matsuyama is home to an original post-feudal castle as well as Dogo Onsen, one of the country’s oldest natural hot springs. The northern city of Imabari marks the entrance to the Shimano Kaido, a road that crosses six spectacular bridges and several islands, forming a route between Shikoku and mainland Honshu.
