The KAN-ETSU EXPWY is an expressway that runs from the Nerima IC in Nerima Ward, Tokyo, through Saitama and Gunma Pref. to the Nagaoka JCT in Nagaoka City, Niigata Pref.

The expressway runs parallel to Route 17 and plays an important role as the shortest road connecting the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Sea of Japan side.

This video was shot in late February 2023 on the entire uphill route (toward Tokyo).
