Mtn. Roads in Japan (Lots of Pics) - Initial D Real Life

If you don't know: There is this anime (Japanese cartoon) I watch called Initial D. It's basically a great addicting storyline about a young street racer. Well the roads in the cartoon are roads in real life. It's just crazy how in real life people race on these roads too!

more info on initial d: http://www.geocities.com/go2initiald/

site where I am getting pics from: http://www.h2.dion.ne.jp/~eg9/gallery.htm
