Initial D Wiki

Usui Pass (碓氷峠, Usui-tōge) is a mountain pass that lies between the Nagano and Gunma Prefectures in Japan. It has served as one of the major transportation routes in central Japan since at least the eighth century. It is the home course of Impact Blue. It is also the home course of the Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya.

The pass is perhaps famous for the consecutive arch bridges that lie on the outside of the pass.

In Initial D The Arcade, a new snow variation of the map was added as part of the Version 3.00.00 update.

Trivia[]

  • Despite a real-life depection of the course appearing in Special Stage, the Usui Pass has remained as a circuit in all of the mainline Arcade games that it has appeared in.
    • It is unknown why the course remains as a circuit, but it could be due to how long the real-life course is, at 11.6km
