Normally, it is a quiet forest road, but it is used as a farm road, and light trucks frequently pass by during rice planting and harvesting season.
Also, in early spring.nudnik (nudnick)are plentiful, so long sleeves are a must to avoid getting stung.

This is the location of the photo shoot at the end of the blind curve after exiting the snowshed (tunnel), and you are forced to park on the shoulder of the road, where there is a slightly wider roadside strip for shooting and parking.

Here, parking is available at the Tagokura Rest Area, so you can park there safely.
However, since the photo shoot is from the bridge and the roadside strip is narrow, setting up a tripod will cause problems for the traffic!
The brave can descend to the river surface from the small rise of this bridge, so it is good to take pictures from the river surface.
However, take heart, for it is a steep road.
