Overview

Doshi Road — Sagamihara to Lake Yamanaka via Yamabushi Pass.

Doshi-michi (National Route 413) is one of the Tokyo area's most-loved weekend biker roads. It climbs the narrow Doshi River valley from Sagamihara out to Lake Yamanaka at the foot of Mt Fuji, threading endless second-gear sweepers and pine forest before topping out at Yamabushi Pass (1,100m). The roadside station midway is a legendary gathering point for Kanto riders.
