The Shiga Kusatsu Kogen Route includes mountains with a height beyond 2,000m such as Mt. Shirane and Mt. Yokote and is a mountain route that connects Kusatsu-machi in Gunma prefecture and Yamanouchi-machi in Nagano prefecture. Along the route is an observation deck at a height of 2,172km, the highest view point on Japan's national highways and it is a photography point for many cameramen. In autumn, the contrast between the red of the rowan, the yellow of the Erman's birch, and the green of the ground bamboo (Sasa kurilensis) decorates Mount Shirane. ※Restrictions on entering Mt. Shirane remain in effect. Please contact us for details.
