Six of us leaving the Obasute SA (姨捨サービスエリア) and heading towards the Sakagura Museum to buy premium beer. Nothing special in the video clip, but shows the surrounding terrain.

 
After the Sake and Beer Museum, we headed off towards Kusatsu Onsen (草津温泉) hot springs via National Route 292 "Asama-Shirane-Shiga Sawayaka Kaidou" (浅間・白根・志賀さわやか街道) We could not travel the entire course due to volcanic activity in the area, but the uphill leg was not bad - cloudy with occasional sunshine. There was, however, a Safety Car all the way.
The video is over 20 minutes long: viewing at max speed is recommended.


Then, it got all foggy with limited visibility. We made it an occasion to learn how to turn on the rear fog lamps on the Emira.
 
Day 2 was from Kusatsu Onsen down the Usui Touge (碓氷峠旧道) consisting of 184 corners. We start from the Karuizawa side, entering from corner #184 counting down to #1 at the Gunma side. Unfortunately, my GoPro was not recording, so only have dashcam footage. It's blurry, but you can see small white and blue signs on the side of the road showing the corner number.

 
志賀/草津ツーリングの動画の編集が出来たので1本をUPしました。(残り3本は編集が終わり次第にUPします)--->>
 
これで残りは2本です。 4/4:草津温泉-軽井沢-旧碓氷峠-本庄IC(終了)の動画(17分)はこちら--->>
 
EMIRA6台で志賀草津ツーリングの動画をYouTubeにUPしました。コースは信州湯田中から横手山-志賀高原・渋峠までの14分の動画です。----->>
 
When I skipped to the fast bit of driving my thoughts were "Why the hell are you on the wrong side of the road?" Then remembered you drive on the left, like the sensible parts of the world :) Must keep that sword hand free :)
 
4部作の志賀草津ツーリングの最後の動画です。コースは志賀-万座ハイウエイ-草津の5分間の動画です。-->>
 
Oh yeah! No trip would be complete without some off-roading !

今日は洗車してもらいましたが、フロントグリルのメッシュ部分が赤茶色に変色していました。 志賀高原の峠道「塩カル」の影響でしょうか?洗車店に、色々洗剤を試してもらったのですが、汚れは取れなかったですね。赤錆の感じもしますが、、皆さんの車は変化がありましたか?

錆ですね。保証交換か塗装しか道はないと思います。
