This photo captures the roller coaster road in Kamifurano. The unique landscape created by the large elevation differences is a rare sight even in mountainous Japan.

Ken chan's Comment
I felt a very unique Japanese atmosphere and simplicity. The structure of the buildings and the surrounding trees seem to evoke the ambiance of feudal Japan.
