Touring in the autumn leaves with GT3

Heading south on R41 toward Takayama, we enjoyed very pleasant and pleasant roads such as R471 and K75. While making a suspicious behavior of going back and forth along the same road twice or three times, we took a break at Skydome Kamioka, a roadside station famous for Kamiokande.After all, the ease of driving is different from the roads in Kansai.The GT3, which is usually held in Ashi Ari, is very much alive.

We ate lunch and made contact with the people from the Kanto group who were planning to meet up with us. I was going south on K98 and they were going north on K98, and we agreed to meet up along the way.

K98 is also a great road, especially now with the beautiful autumn leaves. On the way, we took pictures by Lake Aragami. The beautiful autumn leaves and the lake are beautiful. We waited here for a while for the Kanto group, but realized that there was no cell phone reception, so we decided to go back to where we could get cell phone service.

While waiting at the confluence to K455, I hear an explosion in the distance. It was coming fromRUF Rt12, ALPINA B3 3.3, ALPINA B3 GT3, AUDI S1, 981 Spyder, and that blue wata's Boxster!The sapphire blue color was very vivid and stood out. The sapphire blue color was very vivid in person, and stood out in the crowd.

After greeting everyone, we decided to go to a place where we could park our cars easily, and I greeted everyone again at Michi no Eki Hida Asahi-mura (Roadside Station). I said hello again to everyone at the roadside station, Hida Asahi-mura.By the way, I wonder if Shima-san, the ALPINA Roadster who often appears in wata-san's blog, will not be there this time?I was very surprised to find out that he had actually replaced his ALPINA with a 981 Spyder.

And unusually, the spider is all in black, which is super cool.

From there, the cars proceed from R361 to K435 to reach Nigorigo Hot Springs at an elevation of 1,800 meters. From here, a hill climb with seven cars begins. As I had expected, they are all driving enthusiasts and car enthusiasts from the very beginning.The pace was good and everyone drove very well.

I'm chasing the butt of the ALPINA B3 3.3 in front of me, but it's a good pace. I've never owned an ALPINA, butWatching its behavior from behind and the way it turns corners, it is still not an ordinary boxcar.

We arrived at the inn just as it was starting to get light and dark around us. I tried the famous open-air bath, which was just the right temperature for me, as I do not like hot springs. It is just the right temperature for me, and I can stay in for a long time.

After the bath, we had dinner. Here, we were joined by two people from the Kansai region. It was a nostalgic time since I was a student at a club camp, when we ate together in a ryokan.The food here is quite hearty and all delicious.In the first place, the ingredients were good and well seasoned, and it seemed to me that the ingredients and flavors were very well balanced.

naturallyFrom dinner to just before going to bed, almost 90% of the time, we talk about cars.I was amazed at how we could talk so much only about cars. The night went on with the old men wondering how they could talk so much only about cars.
