Great ride up the 103 in Aomori Pref. Japan. the snow all often exceeds 50ft a year, and the road closes in early December and reopen in April. You get brief view of the famous Sarukura Hotsprings toward the middle. Large snow blowers are used to cut through the snow instead of a traditional snow plow. Its a beautiful bicycle ride, if not a little steep at times. Hope you enjoy.
