thereforeYesterday's touringSo, I made the mistake of missing the snow corridor, which can only be seen at this time of the year and in a limited number of places. Please watch the video (3 minutes 48 seconds) for more details.........
But other than this, I was very satisfied with the touring. The season is here.
Oh, and a few points are deducted for the season of bugs dying when they hit the shield of the helmet at high speed.
However, this is indeed a ski resort area. Even though the cherry blossoms are over in the city, you can still enjoy them here.
as usualWG-M1From the point where you turn left at the end of the video taken in the following section, you can go to Karuizawa via the Asama-Shirane Volcano Route~Onishi Highway.
We took a break at a convenience store to consider the way home, but the highway was boring, so we chose to take the road down to the halfway point.
We drove along Route 18 and stopped at Yokogawa Station, famous for its kama-meshi.
Kamameshi (rice cooked in a pot) is sold next to the station building, but I'm holding out because I have a pot of material at home today that is about to expire.
In front of the station, several fully armed charaders are taking apart expensive looking bicycles and packing them into bags.
Oh, I see... so they're loaded on the train and moved around. I think it's called a wheeled transport?
I wish motorcycles could be wheeled because highway travel is boring.
Now, I looked at the guide map in front of the station and looked for a hot spring where I could take a quick bath before getting on the highway.
Hmmm. I searched the nearby hot springs on my phone and found that they didn't have good ratings.
Let's expand the area to Annaka City and look for it: ....... Oh, I found something good!
If you look at the web page, there is a sand steam bath.I'm sorry.
I've been having a back problem for a while now, and I've been wanting to take a sand steam bath, but the only one near my house is a fancy and expensive enzyme bath. It says that reservations are required, so let's give them a call.

It was fully booked: ........ The person on the phone said it might be difficult to make a reservation on weekends unless you make a reservation first thing in the morning or the day before .... I heard that.
OK, OK, I'm sure I'll be going to the Gunma area many times this season, so I'll make an advance reservation next time.
So, after giving up on the sand steam bath, my desire for hot springs faded, so I got on the highway from the Matsuida-Myogi Interchange on the Joshinetsu Expressway.
On the way, we took a refueling and coffee break at Takasaka SA.
Today's mileage was 429.9km.
I was able to get home relatively early, so I did a little work after the hot pot at home.
Now, I wonder where I should go next time.
