Route 168

· Japan

In places route 168 is little more than a single track road clinging to the mountainside, in others it thunders over bridges and through mountain tunnels, a massive feat of engineering!

I have to say I'm thankful for the tunnels - they save a lot of ascent and descent! Saying that the next few km will be a challenge; a 400m climb ahead...
