Sounds like a nice section pucci. Did you come up from Tsuru? We'll be just west of there on Saturday.
Overnights are difficult for me but keep posting your rides. Maybe we will get together sometime.
In case it's still an option, we've changed the trip to just a day ride. Drive in from Tokyo and start the ride around 8am from Shirataki Falls, then do the southern climb while we're still fresh, loop through Yamanaka Ko, around Kawaguchi Ko, then finish back at Shirataki probably around 4pm or so.
Good idea about posting the rides. If something matches your schedule that would be great!
