Cycling: Nomugi Pass & Mt. Norikura
It’s no secret among cyclists in Japan that Mt. Norikura (乗鞍岳) is the highest road passable by bicycle in the country. Some call it the Japanese Alpe d’Huez but I think comparing mountains is somewhat silly.

Photos taken on the climb up Mt. Norikura, bordering Nagano and Gifu prefectures, central Japan. I don’t cycle up it
