Famous Roads of Japan

My husband regularly goes on long touring trips and each time he takes a tremendous amount of pictures of cars and scenery. Every time he shows me these photos, I think, "I'm not going to be able to do that.I didn't know that Japan had such magnificent nature and beautiful roads...I'm surprised," he said.

Also, the other day, my husband came home from touring in Tohoku.

I can't run for a week at all.I had no time to run. There are still many beautiful roads in Tohoku. I want to go back one more time soon!

He was very excited about it, but it was indeed the only time

What, you've driven 3000 km and you still want to run! You're crazy (p.s.)!

But... that's all I'm saying.There are many beautiful places in Japan that are not well known to the public.I guess that means "I'm a good person.

Also, even if you don't go far, some of the country roads you sometimes drive on don't have names like "XX line".A beautiful road with no nameis quite a bit.

She is the master of my husband's mind.wata's blogEvery time I see "Japan is beautiful.I feel that, and I've had a few "Now that the bypass is under construction around here, this road will soon be gone.I also realize that I need to go running while the beautiful roads exist.

Touring map for car lovers

Whenever my husband went touring, he wouldTouring Maple for Motorcycle RidersTake with you. There are plenty of driving information for cars in magazines and on the Internet, butMost of them do not understand car enthusiasts and driving enthusiasts at all, and provide only tourist and gourmet information on destinations, with little information on the most important roads and routes.Yes, it is. So, 'If it's just tourist information, don't call it driving information! he often says angrily. So he refers to the touring map book for motorcycles.

However, since it is for motorcycles, it can sometimes be on a very narrow road.This can't be done with a car.He sometimes turned back, thinking, "I'm not sure I can do that.

So, my husband has been taking a trip to follow the same route by looking at touring routes introduced in wata's blog, in addition to Touring Maple.It would be great if there was a touring map for car lovers!Sometimes he blurts out, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.

And when we talked to people around us, we found that this was not limited to husbands.Touring by car(especially long touring)Many of those who go to the "Mere Old Man" feel more or less the same way.I found out that it was "a

I see....

Then one day, without a second thought, he said, "I wish there was a collection of touring maps for car lovers on the net. I wish I could make one.and tweeted about it on twitter.

I want you to do that project!" "Leave it to us if you're in the XXX area!"

I've received quite a few messages from people saying that they were very happy with the new "I've been working on this for a long time.Japan road mapWe have decided to start the "I'm going to start a project" project.

About the Meido Map Project

First.Let's take a look at Googlemaps with the touring routes my husband has taken in the past, and introduce them by region on the "Famous Road Map" page!I think. In addition to the map, I decided to include simple information such as the time of year (season) and what kind of car I drove.

The Googlemap with the touring route my husband took has been introduced before in the "Husband's XX Touring Article".If you open this Googlemap on your Android or iPhone, the map will be registered in the My Maps section of Googlemap.It is very convenient because it is

In this way, we will start with what we can, but at the same time, we will also "go from there.We would like to receive information from our readers about the best roads in the country.I'm thinking, "I'm not going to be able to drive all the roads in Japan. No matter how much my husband likes touring, I don't think it would be possible for him to drive all the roads in Japan.(Is it not too much to ask...?)I am very happy to be able to share and transmit this information with you all, if possible.

Since this blog is called "Porsche Came to Our House.Do you have to be a Porsche owner to provide information to the famous road map...?Some may think that the "Meido Map" project is a "road," but it is only the "road" that plays the leading role in the project.

So, no matter which make of car owner you are.I would love to share this wonderful road with car lovers and driving enthusiasts!I would be very happy to receive information if you think it is a good idea.

Actually, it is quite difficult to know how to get the route information, but it would be good if we could get the data from Googlemap in advance...we can think of the best way as we work on it.

In addition, "theI actually drove the routes listed!It would be interesting to hear from people who have been there. We would like to share information in a more realistic manner by updating each map page as needed by adding the real voices to the pages of each map.

Put more effort into your blog.

This month, I have put an end to the work I have been doing for the past 10 years. I'm not quitting, but I'm sorting things out, bringing things to a close, andNow more than ever, I can concentrate on this blog.It became.

This year's "Famous Road Map" project is another.I don't know what will happen if I actually try it, but I want to try it first.I hope to continue to work on interviews, corporate projects, and other interesting projects.

So, to all the regular readers of this blog, thank you for your continued support!

    I'm all for this project! I always have a touring maple with me, but surprisingly, I often find that there are no other better roads described, or details are hard to understand, or there are no recommendations for more places to stop. Is it not possible for numerous people to write on one Google My Map? It would be nice to have a dynamic map that all car enthusiasts could write on.

      Ippachi!
      It's been a while! And thank you for the project!

      As you say, there seem to be many good paths that are not on the books.
      It would also be interesting to see information on stores and hotels with large parking lots where cars can be parked.

      >Is it not possible for numerous people to write on one Google My Map? It would be nice to have a dynamic map that all car enthusiasts can write on.
      My husband was wondering if we could make something like this with an app.
      However, there seems to be a lot going on, so I will first gather and disseminate information from everyone in an analog manner.

      In the future, it'd be crazy cool if it became like a map of Japan we could all write on!!!
      Thank you for your continued support!

    Hello Mina.

    What a surprise! Hometown Shikoku is on the cover!

    Unfortunately, I got my driver's license after I left Shikoku, so I actually don't know much about the roads of Shikoku (lol). When I went back home the other day, I rode my non-car hobby, road biking, along the Naruto Skyline, and the view was spectacular. The speed of a car and the speed of a road bike are totally different, but there were some cars going back and forth, so why don't you visit the area since it is easily accessible from Kobe?

    It was 6 years old and had over 90,000 km. I know I'm repeating myself, but other than the transmission problem, it was the best footgear I've ever owned.

      That's right! It's Shikoku: !!!!

      >When I returned home the other day, I rode my non-car hobby, a road bike, along the Naruto Skyline, and the view was spectacular.
      Wow, Naruto Skyline, from the sound of it, it looks so beautiful (laughs).
      It's relatively close to my house, so I'll definitely be going back! Thank you!

      >It was 6 years old and had over 90,000 km. I know I'm repeating myself, but other than the transmission problem, it was the best footgear I've ever owned lol.
      Oh, I see! Donadona... it's sad to hear that... but it's nice to know that you've driven about 100,000 km with almost no problems.
      What an excellent car!
      The Golf really is a classic!

    Mina, nice to meet you, I always read your blog.
    I myself suffered from the same problem as your husband and have been exploring touring courses on my own, lol.
    We have some stock of courses in Kyushu (especially Oita Prefecture) and would be happy to help.

    I am planning to take a touring trip with my friends using my husband's Shikoku touring as a reference during our upcoming summer vacation. I would be very happy if there are more and more routes like this.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Auntie.
      Nice to meet you and thank you for visiting our blog.

      >I myself have suffered from the same problem as your husband and have been exploring touring courses on my own, lol.
      Oh yes...!
      I knew you all had the same problem...!

      >We have some stock of courses in Kyushu (especially in Oita Prefecture) and would be happy to help.
      Wow!!! I'm insanely happy! I'd love to have you on board!!!!
      Just today, we received information and shared it on twitter, etc., on a map of famous roads in the Koshinetsu region.
      https://www.panamera-life.com/meidou-koushinetsu

      I really want to make a map that lists all of Japan.
      With Google Maps, only 10 routes can be inserted at a time, making it difficult...
      I hope we can improve it little by little while receiving information from all of you.

      Kyushu seems to have a crazy amount of good roads, so
      I would be very happy to receive your information.

      And we would be happy to hear your impressions of Shikoku as well.
      Thank you for your continued support.
