i would have to disagree. japan may have more windy mountain roads per square mile, i donno. but from what i have seen, there are plenty of good mountain roads (aka togue, for all the haters ) only here in the states i haven't seen too many oversized divider bubbles in the middle of the road separating oncoming traffic, that they do have in japan. you just have to keep driving. do a little research, use maps with elevation, or just go driving. you are bound to find something. be adventurous and dont let haters get in your way. the farther out you go into nowhere, the less likely you are to find the popo. but be carefull, there is nothing worse than driving off a cliff, i have seen it happen personally. not pretty. that is what happens when an eclipse tries to keep up with a proper vehicle on the mountain roads.
