Tsumagoi Rider's Mecca

I ran all the way to Tsumagoi to take an image of the face mask 😊
If you get off the Joshinetsu Expressway at Komoro and head north on Route 94 Higashi-Otsumagoi Line, you will come across a rolling hilly area at the foot of Mount Asama.
The Tsumagoi Panorama Line runs endlessly through hilly areas with views stretching into the distance, and the scenery is similar to that of Hokkaido. It's a favorite road that I never get tired of, no matter how many times I come here👍

In the autumn in mountainous areas, fallen leaves fly up in the air and there are lots of fine dust particles, but the face mask made it comfortable 😆 I wore it over my neck guard, and it helped keep me warm when it got chilly as I crossed mountain passes!

I heard that the autumn leaves were late this year, but just riding among the 🌲golden larch trees🍂 was refreshing. The temperature was warm, so it was a pleasant day for touring. After taking photos, I also visited RIDER'S CAFE Grand Prix, which I had recently noticed on Instagram. It's located in the rotary in front of Manza-Kakuchizawa Station. I took a break with a warm cup of coffee. I was able to chat with the owner about various things. It was fun as we had a lot in common about motorcycles😉
