2 Day Terminator Road Trip to Mid-Japan

[u1cobra]

Long time no post on here.
I didn't run my Terminator since end of January because of my job was busy.
I got some days off and took Termi to a road trip.

I start engine at 2:00 Sunday morning (sorry neighbors!) and drive 2hours to one of my favorite place for photoshoot.

Yamanashi prefecture
before sunrise, mountains of Southern Alps of Japan in the background

sunrise shot at 4:55am

drive 80minute to central city of Matsumoto, Nagano prefecture
Matsumoto Castle (National treasure of Japan)
build in the 1590's

drive 40minute to north
mountains of Northern Alps of Japan in the background

drive an hour to more north
Village of Hakuba, one of popular ski town in foreign people

drive to more north
Himekawa river gorge

fun time in snow sheds and tunnels

Beautiful pics OP! Looks like an amazing trip. I want to visit out there so bad. I'm hoping to get there next year.

Seeing an 03/04 Cobra over there is probably like seeing an R34 here! Car looks great!

Very Cool.

I gotta ask. Did you eat at the diner? and if so, did it taste American?

Thank you!:beer:
Yes I did, I had eaten a mozzarella cheese burger, but my last visit to U.S. was over 15years ago, so my memory isn't sure, but I think it was American tast burger.
French fries were tiny cut and small amount, taste was not so good.

That's a serious looking burger! I gotta say, I've never had mozzarella on one...I'm going to have to give that a try.
