4K Kirigamine Snow Drive at dawn | Suwa City to Lake Shirakaba, Japan

An early morning drive to Mt. Kirigamine (Mt. Kurumayama).
The drive starts at Suwa city (Alt. 759m), Nagao, and goes up to Mt. Kirigamine (Mt. Kurumayama 1,925m) through Pref. Rd. 40 and Venus Line and ends at Lake Shirakaba.
Fujimidai Observatory is one of the best observatories where you can see Mt. Fuji, the Southern Alps, and the Central Alps at once.
This is a remake of the Kirigamine drive video posted previously with the audio noise reduced.

Note
The audio data of the scene from Fujimidai to Shirakaba Lake was replaced with the audio data of the retake that was shot 3 weeks after this video was filmed because there was a lot of audio noise due to the disconnection of the microphone. The road was not frozen at all, and the asphalt was bare at the time of reshooting. You might feel some parts of the audio sounded unnatural in the scene.
