Hey, hey, day trippers and thrillsekers.
0:21
We are nearly ready to head out on one
0:23
of my favorite excursions. We will be
0:25
taking in some epic views of the
0:27
mountains as we travel along one of the
0:29
most scenic roads, Minami Awa. So have a
0:33
last check of your vehicle and let's
0:34
roll out.
0:42
A note up top. Just try your best to
0:44
stick together. This is a group
0:46
exercise. Remember, no racing off and
0:48
enjoy the views.
0:53
Over to the right, way off in the
0:54
distance, is Tokyo City. It started off
0:57
much smaller, in this case, just a
0:59
fishing village we know as Edel. As
1:02
trade and infrastructure grew, so did
1:03
the city boundaries until what we see
1:05
today as a sprawling, luminous capital
1:08
of Japan. Now, don't we look good? The
1:11
cars for this day trip will turn heads
1:13
wherever you go. Designed for pure
1:15
performance, these modern supercars are
1:17
amongst the most desirable drives. Now,
1:21
I'm sure most of you have heard of the
1:22
Horizon Festival, but this one is
1:24
special. I myself have been writing
1:27
letters, emails, and sending carrier
1:29
pigeons to whoever on the festival board
1:31
would listen. Bring Horizon to Japan.
1:34
Well, they listened and just look.
1:38
Competing at Horizon is earned. To
1:40
enter, you need to qualify for an
1:42
invitational event. A fast-paced drive
1:44
from A to B with multiple start points.
1:46
It can quickly become a real spectacle.
1:49
If you make it over the line, then well
1:51
done. You get a yellow wristband. And
1:53
with that, access to your first bunch of
1:56
official Horizon events.
2:09
Take in the surroundings as we head
2:11
along this forest road. Housing a
2:14
thriving ecosystem. This is a perfect
2:16
place to spot the Honchu Sika deer. Now
2:19
is a great time to remind you, take
2:21
photographs, make memories, take extra
2:24
care on this road. It's a little more
2:26
narrow with some tight bends and turns.
2:28
You can see why around the midnight
2:30
hour, those looking for a clearer road
2:32
free of daily commuters might say bring
2:35
a JDM Classic and push a few limits. But
2:37
that's not what we're doing right now.
2:40
No matter how many times I drive this
2:41
road, I get goosebumps.
2:44
Now team, just look at that view and
2:46
feel the thrill of the raised road right
2:48
now. And there's another reason why I
2:50
love going over this. That's right,
2:53
tunnel cutting right into the landscape,
2:55
helping the road snake through the steep
2:57
terrain.
2:59
One of our group is lucky enough to be
3:00
driving the Audi R8. If you are not on a
3:03
day trip and trying to stay with the
3:04
pack, then this V10 powered supercar
3:06
could manage a top speed of 205 mph.
3:11
With this race car DNA, it has a
3:13
stability and responsiveness to handle
3:15
any corner you come up against.
3:27
When I promise epic views, I deliver
3:29
Mount Fuji. It's an active strata
3:31
volcano last erupting in 1707.
3:35
Made up of many layers of lava, ash,
3:37
cinder, Fuji has an unmistakable near
3:40
symmetrical silhouette towering over us
3:42
at 3,776
3:45
m to the summit.
4:02
Remember
4:07
when I told you about Edo? Well, in
4:09
Japanese history, that also refers to a
4:11
period of time. That's right, the Indo
4:14
period. A prosperous time of growth,
4:17
culture, and stability.
4:19
Spanning from6003 to 1868. And this
4:23
town, Naiuku was the wealthiest post
4:25
town along the highway, running all the
4:27
way to Edo, or as we know it today,
4:29
Tokyo.
4:45
All right, mate. Good job. So, day
4:47
trippers, we will see you soon for part
4:49
two shortly. Make your way there now, if
4:51
you will. And for us three, I think we
4:53
can swing by a speed zone on the way.
4:59
Okay, you know about speed zones.
