Riding in the special Gordon Miller Motors,
Go to that place you've always wanted to go.

Once you pass the Iroha slope, you will be in Oku-Nikko, where the autumn leaves are beautiful.

Due to the Corona, we easily passed through the Iroha slope, which is usually famous for its traffic jams. Down the slope, we could see the city of Nikko in its autumn foliage season.

The body painted in coyote blends in well with the city. It would be fine if it were still white or gray, just like a vanlife, but the subdued coloring makes it easier to use on a day-to-day basis.

Speaking of which, why Lake Chuzenji?

I also like architecture, and I have always wanted to visit the Italian Embassy Villa designed by Antonin Raymond. It's a long way from Tokyo, and it's not often that I get a chance to visit. So this time, I also did some location scouting (laughs).

The Italian Embassy Villa, which ended its role in 1997, is now a memorial hall. Mr. Ikeda was pleased with the lavish use of glass in the building, saying, "This is early modernist architecture. There is also a British Embassy villa nearby, which is even more spectacular when the leaves change color. The peak of the fall foliage season is from mid to late October.
