Hyogoe Pass Border Tug-of-War

You can't drive up to the pass—park at the temporary lots and take the shuttle bus. A true mountain-pass event in the hills of Minami-Shinano, via Route 152 and the Sanen-Nanshin Expressway.

By the APEX DRIVE editors (based on official sources)Published Last checked

Teams from Nagano and Shizuoka pull a rope across the mountain-pass border; the winners move the playful 'border' one meter into the other side.
