Mtn. Roads in Japan (Lots of Pics) - Initial D Real Life

[MSP4EVER]

If you don't know: There is this anime (Japanese cartoon) I watch called Initial D. It's basically a great addicting storyline about a young street racer. Well the roads in the cartoon are roads in real life. It's just crazy how in real life people race on these roads too!
