japan madness

http://www.finetourjapan.co.kr/File_Folder/irohazaka.jpg

There has been recent discussion on new places to skate amazing roads. Japan is a target because it has amazing hills, roads, great hospitals. This there are three amazing hills roughly 200km's north of Tokyo. These roads are hectic! Mainly used for drift and hill climb racing. Manchild, Robb and myself are very keen to mission and explore the area. Any one else keen?

Ps what do you think of the road?

Yeah, I'd wait even later. It can be snowy even in April, and around when the snow melts it becomes hanami and the roads can be crazily clogged with people driving into the country to see the flowers. Late May through to September would be best.

Everybody going should get an international drivers license, but they're cheap and easy to get; you just fill in a form and pay $25 or something like that.
