Sky Road of Japan | Scenic Drive on the Highest Road (2,172m): Shiga-Kusatsu Road

May has arrived, and the long-awaited winter road closure is finally over! 🚗💨 Join me on a scenic drive along the Shiga-Kusatsu Road, Japan’s highest national highway, straddling the border of Gunma and Nagano prefectures. We start with the stunning blue waters of Yamba Dam and pass by one of Japan’s top hot spring destinations, Manza Onsen, before entering the breathtaking Shiga-Kusatsu Road. Towering snow walls, panoramic mountain views, and winding roads await—what kind of incredible scenery will we discover today? Sit back, enjoy the ride, and experience Japan’s majestic sky road from the driver’s seat. 🌄 Route map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uqgYVJURNTkSW... 00:00 Preview 01:07 Intro 04:30 Shibukawa-Ikaho IC 05:41 Yamba Dam 07:34 Manza Highway 13:09 Manza Hot Spring 14:41 Shiga-Kusatsu Road 16:21 The Highest Point (2,172m) 18:52 Sky Road & Scenic View 23:55 Shiga Highland Area & Fun to Drive 26:21 Hasu Pond 27:23 Ending My MX-5 (1.5L, soft top, manual shift) Mod List Suspension: Koni Dampers, Front: 6k, Rear: 4k, short stabilizer link Seat: ESQUELETO Type 7-M Steering: MOMO Tuner 320mm Wheel: Rays G025 Tires: Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 (205/50R16) Others: Stock (including Exhaust!
