Yamakoshi fly by

No, I haven't realised my dream of flying over Yamakoshi by plane, helicopter nor hot air balloon yet.
However, I did find a pretty cool site which gives a 'virtual' flight.
I've been using a site called MapMyRide.com to record my cycle rides, it also has a pretty neat feature utilising Google maps to generate 3D interactive maps of routes you plot.
The map below takes you from Nagaoka station to Nishikigoi no Sato, via Yamakoshi. Sadly the image quality in Ojiya and Yamakoshi isn't as high as Nagaoka, hopefully one day Google will increase the resolution.
