UFO Line (Ino-Cho)

Skyline, etc.
"This road has a view of Mt. Ishizuchi, western Japan's highest peak and one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains. The road's name derives from the similarity of pronunciation between ""Yuho"", the original Japanese name and ""UFO."" It's a very popular driving route, and it has also appeared in Toyota commercials. The road runs about 27 kilometers through Kamegamori at an elevation ranging from 1,300 to 1,700 meters. Its superb scenery includes Akebono rhododendrons blooming in May, mountain hydrangea in July, and a geranium species called Shikokufuro in August. If your timing's right, September will let you see both colorful foliage and the landscape covered in frost. The road is closed from the end of November to the beginning of April."

  • 天空の道でした。

    曇り空でよく見られず、晴れていたら視界が開けたかと思います。狭い林道で、ガードレールがないところもありますから、普段運転しない方は時間の余裕があるがある移動をお勧めします。空に近いところを走りとても気分が良いところです。車一台がやっと通れる場所もありますので、対向車が来てないか見極めて行けば問題なしです。時間が許せば瓶ヶ森山に登ると更に素晴らしい景色が見られます。下山途中、突然うりぼうが崖...

    晴れ時々曇り、雷、雨、雹凄い天候の変化が激しかった。標高の高い尾根付近をずっと走れて眺めがよかった。GWでしたが車もそんなに走ってなかった。やまつつじが綺麗でした。こんなところによく道を作った。凄いと思います。
