The tunnel under Tokyo Bay is really impressive! Enjoyed also the further drive through rural areas of Chiba, very nice! Thanks for sharing the great quality video, nice to discover Japan virtually with you, greetings from a fellow roadtripper and creator from Germany!

Thanks to the Aqua-line, it is now possible to go from Yokohama to Kisarazu in Chiba Prefecture in a much shorter time than in the past. It is a bit scary to drive on windy days, but I really appreciate this road.

映像ありがとうございます。 新座からアクアラインの浮島を目指すときによく通ります。 R246号の交差点が起点だったんですね。 成田まで行ってるのは知りませんでした。 先週の山の日に鴨川に行きました。今回、行きは外環道、京葉道路の貝塚から下道で久留里街の町を経由して目指しました。 帰りは金田ICからR409号に乗り、川崎の河原町交差点を右方向に行き、多摩川沿いの道を走って鶴川街道に出ました。 多摩川沿いの道を朝走ると、川崎競馬の競走馬が人に引かれて道を横切る光景が見られます。 行ったばかりなのでとても新鮮です。

R409は以前から撮影したいと思っていたのですが「分岐とか分断とか多そうで経路が複雑そう」という先入観でずっと撮影を見送っていました。アクアラインはETC特別割引で本体は安いのですがうっかりアクアライン連絡道を走ると料金が跳ね上がるので要注意です。

了解で～す。
