【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.

丹霞郷を通る県道60号は通りましたが、この道は知りませんでした。「北信五岳道路」と言われるだけあって飯縄山、黒姫山、妙高山が綺麗に見えていますね。上信越高速道や国道18号も並行していますので、ここを通るクルマは少ないと思いますが、機会があれば通ってみたいですね。

この道路、長野県北信地域の辺りの地図を見てずっと気になっていましたが、まだ一度も行った事が無いです。やはり広域農道ということもあり、ほぼ快走路で絶景が楽しめるのですね。また北側の方の区間は国道18号の迂回路としての利用も出来そうですが、この辺りは国道もそこまで混雑することは無さそうな気もします。
