    Nice video! :)
    Sorry to be a nitpicker but Mt Haruna was Mt Akina in Initial D, not Hakone. It is also about 200km apart from eachother…

    But I did find that Hakone was a very popular spot for drifting back in the Japanese Initial D era:

    Ahhh sorry, not up with my Inital D, Haruna use to be the learning ground for Drift Samuri when he was a young fella. Its a serious business mountain that one, Hoshino was telling me they use to run high 3rd and low 4th gear around that touge.
