Today (Tuesday, November 28, 2023), classic cars participating in the "Classic Japan Rally 2023 SEVEN STARS in KYUSHU " were driving around Nagato City. The four-day rally, which will be held from Saturday, November 25 through Tuesday, November 28, will feature approximately 40 classic cars from the 1920s to the 1970s, traveling from Hakata, Fukuoka, to Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Oita in Kyushu, and to Shimonoseki and Nagato in Yamaguchi in Honshu, reaching the goal at Moji Port.
Today, the last day of the tour, we left Nagato Yumoto Onsen "Oya Sanso" at 8:00 in the morning. We toured around Cheokai Island, downtown Nagato, and the "terraced rice field flower steps" in the Aburaya district. Here we report on the classic cars driving on the "Aomi Ohashi Bridge," the entrance to Aomi Island.
Rally vehicles entering Qinghai Island around 8:30 a.m.
The forecast for the day was cloudy, but at this time of the day, a beautiful sunrise was coming through.
When you reach the Tong (Kayoi) district on the east side of the island, turn around and cross the Qinghai Bridge again to head toward the city center.
The rally is scheduled to pass through the Nagato city area and the "terraced rice field flower steps," then pass through "Kakunoshima" in Shimonoseki City, and finish at Moji in Kitakyushu City.
