Mt. Haruna in Gunma Prefecture is famous for playing the role of Mt. Akina in Initial D.
For the tiny town atop the mountain this means a good deal of tourists head up there to drive the legendary mountain pass, take their ladies on dates to the lake and buy souvenirs, like these Initial D cookies and cakes. On a Shoot for Takasaki City, I had a chance to go up there during the day for a change, and (as I wan't driving) didn't blast past the town at pace, on my way to the ura-haruna mountain pass (which is an epic driving road) as I used to do back when I lived at the bottom of this mountain... So I got to take these pics ;)
