About a traffic jam of Nikko, the inside Nikko and Kinugawa colored leaves season.
They're Nikko and the inside Nikko famous for colored leaves, so a road is quite crowded and a traffic jam occurs.
Ascent of "Iroha-zaka" is also delayed in a weekday in particular, and a weekend and a holiday begin to be crowded from around 7 o'clock in the morning, and the crowded state leads to a road until the afternoon. The way where you can go up empty time in about 20 minutes turns red, time, 3-, it takes 4 hours. Therefore it's important to begin behavior from early morning.
Go down recommended one, go up after the evening when a lane is crowded and go. Easily, if, I'll go up and stay for one night around the Lake Chuzen-ji. When getting off while seeing the autumnal tints of Iroha-zaka, before a traffic jam is bathed in the morning sun from early morning and gets off concerning a spot of colored leaves of the inside Nikko which shines, and starts, the autumnal tints of Nikko can be enjoyed fully including the Nikko city I have begun to color where.
It's crowded little because a spot of colored leaves is also many a Kinugawa area but a car is the rule of thumb for which it takes time to the destination for about 15 minutes compared with other seasons, not to the extent I say that it's so congested that it doesn't move at all.
