![[Image1]The long-closed “phantom roadway” Chobochinai Route will reopen for a limited time again this year.T](https://img.cooljapan-videos.com/files/member_posts/image/de03c8e7a6c123daf2347b8b7939f3cb96bebaa8.jpg)
The long-closed “phantom roadway” Chobochinai Route will reopen for a limited time again this year.
The Chobochinai Route, long closed to traffic, will open a little earlier than usual this year!
📅 Friday, August 22, 2025, from 11:00 AM
■ What the phantom roadway is
This road is an extremely limited route that is usually passable for only about one month, from mid-September to mid-October.
It is called the “phantom roadway” because it can be used only when the water level falls to its lowest.
Early October in particular coincides with peak autumn foliage, drawing many visitors from both inside and outside the route.
📌 Open section
Dodo Route 1116 (Chobochinai Gate to Higashikawa-kita 7-sen Gate)
📅 Opening date and time
From 11:00 AM on Friday, August 22, 2025
※ The schedule may change or be canceled due to weather or road conditions.
※ The start of the winter closure period is undecided at this time.
🚧 Cautions
There are no maintained sidewalks, and some sections are narrow.
Please take extra care with vehicle passing, sharp curves, and road surface conditions.
Enjoy the nature of Higashikawa while driving safely.
PS. The photos were taken in past years.

In the nature trail of Asahidake Onsen town, traces of a brown bear (💩) were found.
These signs can be seen in this area every year, but this is the first confirmation this summer.
Many people enjoy walking this trail, but it sees fewer visitors than Sugatami Elua and, in particular, the spot where signs were found is some distance from the road.
📣 When walking the trail, please note the following:
・Avoid going alone.
・Carry a bear bell and bear spray.
・Refrain from traveling during dim hours such as early morning or dusk.
If you find any traces, please report them to the Asahidake Visitor Center.

TEL: 0166-97-2153 (9:00–17:00)
We appreciate your cooperation to ensure a safe walk.
