Yesterday a couple of us went to Nikko - a historic site about 120 KM from Aizu Wakamatsu. I thought it would be a good idea to drive (and it was) but you will never guess how long the 120 KM trip took us. In Canada, it would probably take about 1 hour to drive this distance - maybe 1.15 hours. In Japan it took us over three hours! INSANITY!
This happens for a couple reasons
1) The roads are TWISTY and TURNY as you make your way through the mountains
2) The roads are ALL one lane, so passing someone is hard
3) There are no lights on the roads
4) The Japanese LOVE to drive slow
Oh well, it was a fun road trip!
