Usui Pass Start Line
In *Initial D*, this is the starting point of a downhill race between Akina Speed Stars and an opposing team. The scene shows the protagonist's white AE86 and the rival's black GT-R parked on a narrow asphalt road beside a mountain, with dense woods and guardrails in the background. The characters stand by their cars for pre-race conversation, and a tense atmosphere fills the air. In the distance, a tunnel entrance is visible, marking the beginning of the course.
