This road can be found between Nagano and Toyama prefectures in the “Japanese Alps”. The route is known as the Alpen Route and can only be used by cars “sometimes” π The area is known for its ski resorts and also for the largest dam in Japan: Kurobe dam.

Actually the entire route is called the Alpen route, this particular section is called the Yuki-no-Otani Snow Canyon.
