I just got back from yet another ride to Onyu Pass, the fourth in half as many weeks. (The first three were blogged about here, here, and here.)

This time, like the first, I went with a group of friends. Also like the first, I brought along the real camera (Nikon D4), but this time I also brought some real lenses. I haven't looked at all the photos yet, wanted to post a few.

Amazing pics! Looks a great place to ride. I live not in Sanda, Hyogo and will definitely have to get up this way. My friends and I recently did a ビワイチ and I saw one of your Onyu pics in a magazine about Biwako and surrounding areas.
