Spots
The roads and places behind the music — landmarks of the route, from the bayshore to the pass.
The bayshore expressway that glows bright even at the dead of midnight — where the run begins.
A coastal straightaway built from the breathing of the sea, best met at the edge of dawn.
National Route 1 climbing from the coast into cedar and mist — stacked curves to the high country.
A volcanic valley of white steam and sulfur — the white wall near the top of the climb.
A mirror-calm caldera lake, a vermilion lakeside torii, and Mt Fuji beyond — the calm after the climb.
A hot-spring town at the foot of the pass — lantern light, drifting steam, the journey's rest.
