A free mountains drive
Actual size

Although the basis was also a toll road called the Shiga Kusatsu road in this Shibu peak, it was fixed at the time of the Nagano Olympic Games holding, was promoted to the national highway, and was No.1 of Japan till then. The marchen highway Mugikusa peak (2127m) of the national highway No. 299 line was extracted, and it became national highway altitude No.1 of Japan. When having said so and it carried out recently, at the Mugikusa peak, the signboard of national highway altitude No.1 of Japan which existed till before was lost. But that such mountains drives can enjoy itself for free is the feature of the national highway No. 292 line of going to Shirane-san. Is it probably No.1 of Japan by altitude also on a free road?
