Mikuni Pass-Japan
Mikuni Pass is a fun touge road located in Yamanakako, Yamanashi, about 10 minutes from the Mt Fuji race circuit. It is not to be disorientated with the other Mikuni Pass discover in the Hokkaido region, which is not really a tough road. This pass is named after Mt Mikuni Mountain in Yamanakako and is approximately 8 km long. The pass has a peak advancement of 1139m and traverses through some glorious scenery in the region. Japan has some of the twistiest roads in the world; however, a preponderance of these roads is quite narrow with space for just 1 vehicle at a time.
This road is quite wide contrast to others and makes for an ideal tough road. There is a good lookout point at the top of the pass, which has some great views of Lake Yamanaka. The weather was not great on my visit, and the top of the pass was inundated with clouds.
