【Driving in Japan】Gumma Prefectural Route 235/54 : Tsumagoi – Kurabuchi [Insta 360 Ace Pro 4K60P]

The Naganohara-Kurabuchi Line is a major regional road that runs from Kitakaruizawa, Naganohara-cho, Agatsuma-gun, to Gonda, Kurabuchi-cho, Takasaki-shi. The route crosses Nidoage Pass, which is 1,380m above sea level.

The name Nidoage Pass comes from the name of a station on the Kusakaru Electric Railway, which once connected Karuizawa and Kusatsu Onsen. This station, located to the west of the pass, adopted a switchback system to overcome the steep slope, and the station name came from the appearance of the train “going up twice.”

The starting point, “Kitakaruizawa,” was named because it is located north of Karuizawa, as the characters suggest, but it is not included in the original area of ​​”Karuizawa.” The area was developed as a villa area after the opening of the Kusakaru Electric Railway, and was originally called “Okuwa Jizogawa”.

This time, we recorded from Tsumagoi Village to Kurabuchi in Takasaki-shi via Prefectural Route 235 and this route. Due to the heavy snowfall from the previous day, some areas near the pass were covered in packed snow. At 46:28, the Japanese serow, a special natural monument, appears.
