Documenting my first self-driving trip in Japan 🇯🇵 - Mission completed ✅ While following the map, I realized I took a wrong turn and had to re-navigate 🧭. Unexpectedly, Google Maps directed me onto a narrow mountain road. The path was rugged and tight, and I was sweating nervously while driving, fearing I might slide down the mountain or scratch the car (thankfully, I bought full insurance ⚠️—a must-have). Eventually, I managed to get back onto a proper road. I felt like a female version of Takumi from Initial D 🏎️⛰️ during this adventure. Upon reaching Mount Aso 🌋, I thought the long drive was worth it. Although the volcano was the only attraction, it was still a sight worth seeing. ⚠️ Friendly reminder: It's extremely windy 💨, so avoid wearing hats—they might get blown off the mountain 😹.
