The exhaust notes of the three Boxsters rose in unison. We sped north along the undulating Hoshinosato Kaid\u014d, spreading a symphony of thrilling sounds.

The three Boxsters seemed to relish the pleasant curves, occasionally passing through small villages.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the pack, I carefully watched for blind corners and oncoming traffic, maintaining a comfortable pace. However, my tires were nearly worn down to the slip indicators, making me a bit uneasy.

The mix of moderately steep hairpins and medium-speed corners seems to say, <strong>\u201cEnjoy the mid-engine dynamics of your Boxster.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This alone is enough to fill you up, but the road continues for about 27 km of exquisite winding. Kagura Kaid\u014d truly is a magnificent road.<\/p>\n<p>As the elevation rises, the curves become gentler and stretch on endlessly. Traffic is light, with only occasional local kei trucks. You can easily overtake or pull over to maintain spacing.<\/p>\n<p>The combined 18-cylinder GTS sound echoes through the mountains. With the roofs down, you can hear not only your own car but also the other two, creating an overwhelming symphony.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27110 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/EA4104ED-EED6-42E0-9F23-06A1B303B060-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Boxster at Kirinoumi Observatory Hill\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27111 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4D3519B8-C149-414A-90EF-F952041DD440-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Kirinoumi Observatory Hill\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We stopped for a break at Kirinoumi Observatory Hill, a spot with panoramic views of Okayama\u2019s mountains and stunning sky gradients, especially at sunset.<\/p>\n<p>From here, we headed to a nearby highway interchange and parted ways with Tomoz\u014d-san. Then, TAKURO-san and I went to Tsuyama city, where we spent nearly three hours chatting about cars over dinner, wrapping up day one of the tour.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_Two_From_Large-Scale_Main_Forest_Roads_to_Mt_Daisen\"><\/span>Day Two: From Large-Scale Main Forest Roads to Mt.

Tsuyama city was shrouded in thick fog, and the Boxster roofs were frosted white.<\/p>\n<p>Heading north on Route 179, the skies cleared. This road has relatively light traffic and is a pleasant fast road. We avoided the tunnel on Route 482 at Ningy\u014d Pass and took the old road instead. This became the large-scale main forest road Mimasaka North No. 2 Line, a narrow but passable 1.5-lane road with occasional pullouts, so it wasn\u2019t too difficult.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2DF59937-AB48-43C4-B121-BF52F64B8240-720x1280.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3C778479-6789-4B71-9CFE-2B9992FC8940-1280x720.jpeg\" alt=\"Touring in a Boxster\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>the massive amount of fallen leaves this season made it hard to pick up speed.<\/strong> Leading the group, I proceeded cautiously.<\/p>\n<p>The road features many consecutive curves, like a slalom course with cones, requiring repeated right and left steering inputs. It\u2019s a tiring stretch but excellent practice for weight transfer and steering smoothness\u2014perfect for honing your driving skills.<\/p>\n<p>We planned to rejoin Route 482 but found a road closure. We detoured via K283, which was also a narrow, moss-covered road with fallen branches and stones scattered about.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, a fairly large stone lay in the middle of the road. I slowed down, confident the Boxster\u2019s ground clearance was enough to pass over it.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, from behind came a loud <strong>&#8220;GAGAGAGA!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Looking back, TAKURO-san\u2019s Boxster had caught the stone underneath and dragged it for about 10 meters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/96C61920-B04D-4AFE-B0EF-150AB7583D1E-1280x720.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/9046CC2A-A6D2-48E0-A482-C5B0C4DB08A9-1280x720.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27097\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27097\" class=\"size-large wp-image-27097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/B8F13244-ED2D-49BB-B3A0-3E4549E0E7B6-1280x720.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The mark left by dragging the stone<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We hurried out to check underneath the car. Fortunately, no major damage was visible at first glance.<\/p>\n<p>The reason only TAKURO-san\u2019s Boxster caught the stone was because <strong>his Boxster GTS is equipped with the Sports Chassis,<\/strong> which lowers the ride height by about 1 cm according to the catalog. That 1 cm made all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>I, leading the group, had forgotten about the Sports Chassis and passed over the stone without issue, so I felt sorry about that.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, we continued via Route 482 to the Hiruzen Kogen Center Joyful Park, famous for Hiruzen MT, where we had lunch. After a break, we drove up the Hiruzen-Daisen Skyline toward Mt. Daisen. Unfortunately, the day was cloudy, so we couldn\u2019t fully enjoy the majestic view of Mt. Daisen.

This time, we drove the <strong>best fast section of Route 482, the border between Tottori and Hyogo prefectures,<\/strong> heading east.<\/p>\n<p>I introduced this road briefly in a previous article about the 992. It\u2019s a fantastic fast road, one of the so-called \u201cAscension Roads.\u201d Traffic is light, and it offers everything: straights, ups and downs, mountain passes, and riverside winding.

The border section between Tottori and Hyogo on Route 29 features wide, high-speed corners that can be challenging. With light traffic, it\u2019s easy to get carried away, so caution is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>We blasted through the Togura Pass tunnel with roaring GTS sound, passing the pitch-black Otomizu Lake and hurrying onward.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Challenging_Late-Night_Mountain_Pass\"><\/span>A Challenging Late-Night Mountain Pass<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Entering Ichinomiya Town, famous for Iwa Shrine, we stopped at a roadside station to review the route.

Being local, I\u2019ve driven it many times since my youth. The section from Shiso City Ichinomiya to Kanzaki District Kank\u014d Town is an ultra-demanding winding section.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from the Shiso City side, there\u2019s a narrow section near the mountain entrance, but once past that, <strong>a challenging winding section awaits that any driving enthusiast would cry tears of joy over.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-27093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DD5D9253-3802-462E-A64B-0573DF7F5DC2-1280x712.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"712\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With consecutive hairpins and steep gradients, it demands power and skill to drive well.
