The observation deck along the way offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Irohazaka This hilly road stretches from the center of Nikko City to Lake Chuzenji. It is famous for its 48 sharp curves, and especially during the autumn foliage season, the trees along the road turn red and yellow, creating a picturesque beauty.
