Downhill at Irohazaka circa 2002. A mean piece of road made famous by Initial-D and jumping MR-2s. It leads down a one-way mountain pass to Lake Chuzenji and back up again in a loop as there are separate roads for uphill and downhill traffic. It is the only way in and out of the National park.
The road ascends more than 400 meters in altitude and is named ‘Iroha’, because the original road consisted of 48 needlepoint curves, the same number as there are letters in the Japanese syllabary, formerly known as ‘Iroha’.
Needless to say, this guy has got ‘mad skillz’.
