The sights around Utsukushigahara and Kirigamine are different 👀 Utsukushigahara overlooks the orange and yellowish green earth, but Kirigamine is filled with Japanese silver grass 🌾The non-stop drive from Utsukushigahara to Kirigamine takes about an hour, but if you consider stopping along the way, you should expect it to take 1.5 hours one way 🕒 Things to note while driving ⚠️ Beautiful scenery comes into your eyes while you are driving, so you tend to look away ‼ ️However, the road is quite undulating, and since it is a popular spot, there is a lot of traffic and the possibility of an accident occurring in an instant 💥There are places where you can stop in various places, so please drive safely without pushing yourself! ♨️Recommended hot springs♨️It's quite cold, so if you go outside to take photos, your body will also get cold 🥶When that happens, warm up in a hot spring!
