Hakone which is the rally venue is located in the southwestern part of Kanagawa Prefecture near Shizuoka Prefecture.
Since the ancient time, Hakone was a key transportation for people travelling up and down along the steep mountains,passing the lodging town where people healed themselves with various hot springs.
Overlooking Mt.Fuji on a clear day from Lake Ashinoko (created in the crater of Hakone Volcano),climbing up to Owakudani (where volcanic fumes still bear a trace) and passing Sengokuhara (a grassy hill passage).
Many of these beautiful mountainous land and nature had greeted many people each and every season.
Early summer rain of June brings a great gift for plants lively grow in nature which makes Hakone more ravish.
So lets take a pleasure to experience this unique route to Hakone together with your classic car.
Shimoda is a port town located on the eastern side of the southern part of Izu Peninsula and opened by the black ship’s arrival during the Edo Period.
Surrounded by mountain and the sea full of gifted nature, the arrival of American black ship fleet led by Perry tied up and signed the Japan-US Treaty.
Grace of rainy season and welcoming the glory of summer in Hakone and Izu Shimoda in the month of June will even flatter the charm of good nature.
So why don’t we feel the magnificent breeze of nature together with your classic car.
