What makes the Ashiu Driveway so appealing? - Go to the Sunday morning Ashiu gathering.

My Family's Car Life

On Sunday morning, we went to Ashiari

One Sunday morning, my mother-in-law was able to watch my daughters, so we took the GT3 to Ashiu Driveway as a couple. Again, we wereWhen I tweeted on tiwtter that I was going to Ashi Ari beforehand, several people replied, "I'm going too! I got a few replies saying "I'm going too!So I was very much looking forward to meeting everyone.

On this day, we arrived at the East Rokko Observation Deck of the Ashiyu Driveway at 8:30 in the morning. HoweverParking lot is already full.We managed to park our car at the end of the road.

Still, it was an amazing number of cars early in the morning. Of course, theThey are not gathered by someone calling out to them, but rather spontaneously.

."What is it about Ashiu that attracts so many car enthusiasts?Today, I'd like to share with you what I think of as theCharm of Ashi Ari on Sunday morningsI will try to write again about(I've written about this briefly before.)

Sunday morning Ashiari Driveway Attraction

(1) Famous cars gather

Royu driveway(East Rokko Observation Deck)is the "theA mecca for car lovers in KansaiAs the name implies, the event brings together a large number of cars that are rarely seen in the city.

Among them, Porsche cars account for a relatively large percentage, and visitors can see a wide variety of models up close, from air-cooled Porsches to the latest Porsches.

At one time, there were many Porsches parked there, including a 356 and a 73 Carrera, which I had only seen in museums.

Also, not only Porsches, but supercars such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis are always parked there every time, and last time, there were three or four McLarens parked there, just like in theMcLaren FestivalIt was."

There are also Rolls Royce, Alpina, etc... many other cars that you don't see in the city are gathered here.

I only finally got interested in Porsches a few years ago.I understand a little bit about Porsche models, but I have almost no knowledge about the rest of the cars...I don't really know which cars are rare or how amazing they are, but every time my husband and the people around us see them, they always say, "Oh, wow! Whenever my husband and the people around us see a car, they always exclaim, "Wow!

Of course, there are also many domestic sports cars. The other day, a Subaru WRX STI, a Roadster, and a Honda NSX were parked there.

Anyway, all kinds of sports cars, famous cars, and of course many other cars gather at the Higashi Rokko Observation Deck in the Ashiyu Driveway. I think many people come to the East Rokko Observation Deck to enjoy seeing these cars.

(2) A place for car lovers of all ages to meet and interact

Everyone I meet and talk to in Ashiu is a gentleman and a wonderful person. "Are there only good people who love cars?Everyone is so friendly, warm, and fun to talk to that it seems like "I'm a good person.

When I first went to Ashiyu Driveway, I was nervous from beginning to end with my husband by my side, but the people around me talked about topics and took care of me, making my debut in Ashiyu an enjoyable experience. In fact, I was so excited to see theThere are a few couples who come here and there.

Some people talk to the owners of cars they used to drive, others talk to the owners of cars they like and are interested in and take pictures of them...the forms of interaction are varied.

Ashiyu Driveway is also home to theKUGATTI.There are always young people like Mr. Kosaka, who has been coming to Ashiu for several decades, as well as those who are newcomers to Ashiu.Car lovers of all generationsare gathering.

Some of them are "in theWe have been talking to each other very closely for a long time, but we don't know what kind of work each other does.I often hear stories like "W

In other words.I like cars.Through the common denominator of "Ashiu Driveway," we can interact and become friends with each other. I think this is one of the charms of Ashiyu Driveway. However, waiting around will not bring about any encounters.Speak to them yourself.It is important to

I will also try to be brave and talk to various people from now on.

     good morning
    To begin with, the roads are fun there, too.
    Motorcycle traffic is regulated on Sundays, so it is safe.
    It is not crowded until early morning around 11:00 a.m. because there are still few cars for sightseeing passing through to Arima.
    To begin with, it is a relatively expensive toll road, so traffic volume is low.
    The above makes it a great place to drive as a driveway.

    And because of that, we attract a lot of real car enthusiasts who are here for the purpose of driving (important laugh here).
    Cafes in the highway PAs, Kobe Settlement, and Midosuji area in Osaka are full of supercars that are fashion icons, or that look like bikers with noisy mufflers, or that maintain high RPM in first or second gear on the street, or that have strange aftermarket aero systems, etc. Many supercars have lost their original quality and elegance.
    There are often people who like to show off their riding skills, or who have a massive appetite for self-expression.
    So, when we get together, we can't talk on the WWW.

    In that sense, many of Ashiari's regulars like to drive and really like cars, so they can have a good time talking about cars regardless of the type of car or age, and everyone is very accepting.

    That's the image of WWW.

      That's great!
      What an accurate observation...!

      >In that sense, many of Ashiari's regulars like to drive and really like cars, so they can have a good time talking about cars regardless of the type of car or age, and everyone is very accepting.
      It really is! People who want to show off their car customization don't come to this event, so it's a great opportunity for pure car lovers to get together, drive on the roads of Ashiu, and talk about cars.
      I think it is really nice.
      Please let me introduce you again in my next comment sharing article (smile).

      Thank you for your continued support!

    Thank you very much.
    Is it worth sharing lol?

     Come to think of it, since when, who? is that somehow? I'm not sure if it's
    There are some local rules or features of Ashiu.
    Do not open the valve on your muffler or blink when climbing from the toll booth to the observation deck, and climb slowly so as not to disturb neighbors.
    (Reason: Because it will be reported and the police will come to the observatory immediately)
    Because of the above, runners and Porsche riders who want to run hard are not running on the observation deck, but on the Arimaguchi side beyond the tunnel, gathering there.
    When leaving after 10 or 11 p.m., watch out for speeding rats in front of the Okuike police station.
    Be aware that there are many domestic runners in the direction of Arimaguchi after 23:00 at night.
    If you are going to Arima after 23:00, you must go downhill with the hazard on the way down. (Running and rules. (For easy identification)
    The runners are competing for time on the climb from the Arima exit to the escarpment before the first tunnel (where the vending machines are located).
    Therefore, the rule is to go slowly on the way down, and to push only on the way up.
    The main time is Sunday, 8-11 a.m., but those who don't like the crowds and mainly want to run actually come earlier, around 6:00 a.m., and leave by 8:00 a.m.
    Those who go up every week are advised to buy a coupon ticket at the toll booth.
    The men at the toll booths and the maintenance men at Ashiu are car enthusiasts, and there are actually people who drive domestic sports cars as well as classic cars and supersports.

    There are many local rules like that on the WWW.

      That's great!
      I knew about the speeding enforcement in front of Okuike Park and that they don't waver until the observation deck, but I didn't know much else...
      Oh no, this is amazing!
      Thank you!

      My husband also commented the other day about the charms of the Ashiu Driveway, which you commented on.
      He laughed and said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly right! That's so accurate!" I was delighted.

      My husband said he would like to write an article describing the Ashiu Driveway in detail.
      I would be happy to quote your comments on that occasion ^^^!

      Thank you for your cooperation.

    Thank you very much for your time✋.

    Actually, I saw you the other day in Ashiari.
    August 4 or 11.
    You were driving a GTS.

    Ashiyu became famous about 10 years ago when an Alpina driver (former 964 driver) and I called out to our Porsche friends in Minkara.

    There were some regulars who had been coming before that time, but not this many.

    As the number of people who ran on the straight in front of Okuike began to increase, I started to hide the name of "Ashiu" in my blog. It became too famous.
    The reason we call Ashiu "Oyama" is a remnant from that time.
    I hope we can keep having gatherings at this fun place.

      Oh yes, you were! Yes, I was on the GTS.

      So it was!!!!
      I had wondered if it had always been this way. I was reminded that everything has a history....

      As the place becomes more famous, I'm sure there will be many problems...
      It made me think.

      As you say, even if Ashiu becomes even more famous, it will still be
      I hope that Ashiyuri will be a place where we can have fun gatherings with car lovers who are moderate and gentlemen.

      We hope to see you again in Ashiu.
      Thank you for your continued support.
