【Driving in Japan】Nagano/Niigata Pref. Route 411/412:Tokiwa - Saruhashi [Insta 360 Ace Pro 4K60P] 

Hiramaru Pass is a pass that crosses the Sekita Mountains, which tower over the border between Nagano and Niigata prefectures. Prefectural Route Iiyama Arai Line, which connects Iiyama City and Myoko City, passes through it.
In fact, the prefectural border around here is not the main ridge of the Sekita Mountains that separates the Shinano River system from the Sekigawa River system, but rather the Nagano Prefecture territory extends far into the Sekigawa River system basin to the west. Hiramaru Pass is also not on the prefectural border, but rather runs through a valley about 1km to the west. As you drive along, you'll be surprised to suddenly see a country sign appear in the woods.
A short distance away, National Route 292 passes through the prefectural border, but compared to the national route which has been improved and is passable even in winter, this prefectural road is a narrow, winding road that is closed in winter and has little traffic. However, the area from Katsura Pond near the pass to Mount Kuroiwa is a naturally rich habitat for forest tree frogs, Japanese giant salamanders, as well as Luehdorfia japonica and Deutzia gracilis butterflies, and has been designated a national natural monument.
