Some parts of this itinerary lost a lot of time (or "this time"...?). The time lost was quite large.
After the Nakasato Dam, we decided to have lunch, so we headed north on Route 365, looking for a suitable restaurant, but we could not find one that suited our taste, and we found ourselves in Sekigahara. It was a mistake to go north at this point. I should have gone south to Inukami Dam via Kuurakake Pass on Route 306, but at that time I thought there would be some stores if I went out to Sekigahara, so I kept on driving and passed Yonehara and Hikone, and finally decided to have a light meal at Lawn before Taga (I think it was). I was so tired that I decided to have a snack at Lawson's before Taga (I think it was). It was now time for a 3 o'clock snack rather than lunch.
However, that said, I don't think there is any harm in continuing to run a lazy race. You have the flexibility to change your plans in many ways, and you can vary your plans in many ways depending on your application (or so I tell myself...).
Even more interesting are probably the two major mountain passes, "Kuragake Pass" and "Ishigure Pass. Ishigure Pass is especially interesting. You should definitely go through it after the Eigenji Dam. However, if you are not a confident driver, it is best to avoid the pass. At the pass, concrete blocks that are just barely wide enough for a car are waiting for you.（石榑峠は2011年にトンネルが開通し酷道ではなくなりました）
