Karisaka Tunnel Toll Booth

On this day, I went for a midnight drive on National Route 140 from Chichibu to Yamanashi. The midnight Route 140 drive is a very dangerous and thrilling drive that just goes through the darkness without streetlights in the mountains. It's also almost unpopular along the way, and instead you'll encounter animals such as deer and raccoon dogs, as well as a psychic spot and a horror game sanctuary, so it's almost like a real attraction. Those who are not confident in driving should avoid this late night drive. If you want to give some advice for those who go, you can feel at ease with a 4WD car because it is a mountain road. I also need a bright flashlight and a camera because the starry sky is beautiful. There are several roadside stations along the way, so you don't have to worry about toilets. I arrived at the Karisaka Tunnel Toll Office along the way around 3 am. Staff are stationed here, and it is also a spot where you can feel at ease.

Since it does not support ETC, it is very troublesome to pay off on a motorcycle. Since it connects Yamanashi prefecture side and Chichibu in the shortest time, it is often used for day trips without time. The inside of the tunnel is relatively bright and easy to drive.

The toll for ordinary cars is as high as 740 yen. As the speed limit is 40 km, this is a tunnel that gives the illusion of "running slowly". If you notice it, you will come out more than 80 km, and if you enter from Yamanashi, it will be a gentle downhill, so you can proceed without stepping on the accelerator. Please be careful when driving.

I use it occasionally for touring, but I can only pass it with a pink number car. The reason is the high toll. It is strange that a normal two-wheeled vehicle costs 590 yen, which is the same as a light car, and a small two-wheeled vehicle (with a moped) costs 70 yen. At the very least, you should pay about 290 yen for a two-wheeled vehicle between light cars.

After seeing the thawed Lake Hirose, it became one of my favorite drive courses. This is the route from Kofu to Chichibu. It's good to run in the summer, but it's also recommended in the winter. The weather is so good that powder snow dances.

Large 1220 yen! Let's quit obese people! Climb up ? Don't stop down ? Sprinkle fuel, burn the brakes, and dig into the holes with gold ?️ rolled up ... ⤵️

Use the Karisaka tunnel with a moped. The tollhouse was surprised that he came with a moped. I talked a little with a friendly person. The inside of the tunnel is 6625m, so it feels very long. It feels a little wet with spring water, and the road surface is good because it is still a new tunnel. By the way, the moped can pass for 70 yen.
