Winter road conditions Nagano to Tochigi 2015/10/29 22:33
Good day All,

I am planning another trip to Japan in early February 2016 and intend to drive:
1) the Japan Romantic Road,
2) around Sado island, and
3) from Niigata to Toyama.

Could someone please advise on the road conditions on:
1) the Romantic Road route from Tochigi thru Gunma to Nagano,
2) on Sado island, and
3) from Niigata to Toyama?

Many thanks.

Good day Everybody,

I have got additional information about the route from Tochigi to Nagano for a early February driving trip. Hopefully with the locations and Highway Route numbers I can get specific information about the road conditions in early February.

Thank you (:
