Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I've driven through/over/under it on my way to Zao, but not stopped there. But yeah, the highway thing was a dead giveaway. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Oops, never mind, simulposted. Pat Morita. I thought that might be him, but never saw Karate Kid, and didn't make the connection. Kawasaki! Here I was looking around for Mitsubishis and Nakajimas... Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 It actually goes over and under the expressway. Interesting! Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 It certainly makes an impression on first encounter. Here is a photo of it, from much earlier in this thread, that I took while on the way back from Zao: Another chair lift goes under the expressway; from the other side, you're driving along and then suddenly see skiers and boarders on chairs rising up from under the road beside you.

7-11 2 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That railing on the right makes me think of Kusatsu for some reason. But it doesn't quite look like there so perhaps not. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Not Kusatsu. Link to post Share on other sites
