4K snowy drive from Sukayu to Gosyogawara in Aomori pref. Japan through route 103, 394, Tohoku EXPWY, and Tsugaru EXPWY.Google Maps Route: https://goo.gl/maps/dVNd5aH1Hfev1hUX9

The start point in the Google Maps route above is approx. 3km away from the actual location of Sukayu as the road around Sukayu is wrongly marked as closed and unable to be set as a start point.

Sukayu (酸ヶ湯) at 890m above sea level near Aomori City is known as the snowiest place in Japan that is accessible by car in winter.
It holds the record of the highest snow accumulation 566cm in 2013 ever recorded by JMA(Japan Meteorological Agency) weather station. and its annual accumulated snowfall exceeds 20m in a certain year. (recently 1996, 1999 and 2006)

It had 330cm snowfall on my visit even though there has been little snowfall nationwide in this winter (2019-2020)
