国道18号追分付近

This camera looks at National Route 18 near Oiwake in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, run by the town of Karuizawa. Route 18 follows the old Nakasendo highway through the mountains between Karuizawa and the Usui Pass area, and this stretch near Oiwake is where the road runs through the village before climbing toward the pass. The picture is a live cam of the road and surrounding area. Traffic here builds on weekends and holidays when visitors drive up from Tokyo and Nagano, and in winter the surface can turn icy. Check the 国道18号追分付近 webcam before a drive through Karuizawa, especially in the morning or after snow, to see current conditions on this mountain route.
