Irohazaka Descent

The Irohazaka hill in Nikko, Tochigi, Japan is one of the most famous in the country.

The descent during the fall foliage season is perpetually crowed as busses take the hairpin corners very slowly.

Bicycles can take the inside of the hairpins and pass cards on each one, as I did on this descent.

Take a look!

Konsei Pass

Riding through Norther Kanto, lies one of the highest passes in Japan。The descent starts at at almost 1900m and descents into Senjo-ga-hara in the Nikko area.
