National Route 138 Subashiri Live Camera | Kagosaka Pass, Snow & Road Conditions

Advertisements

This is the National Route 138 Subashiri Live Camera installed in Subashiri, Oyama Town, Sunto District, Shizuoka Prefecture. You can check the current road conditions along National Route 138 near the 15.4KP, 16.0KP, and 16.9KP points in Subashiri, and toward Kagosaka Pass, in still images. The feed is operated by the Numazu River and National Highway Office.

National Route 138 is a major road used when traveling from the Gotemba area through Subashiri and over Kagosaka Pass toward Lake Yamanaka. The Subashiri area sits on the eastern foothills of Mt. Fuji, where snow accumulation and road icing can occur in winter, and congestion tends to build up during tourist seasons. The live camera lets you check road visibility, surface whiteness, traffic flow, and weather changes before traveling — making it convenient for checking road conditions before heading toward Gotemba, Lake Yamanaka, or the Fuji Five Lakes area.

What You Can Check with the Route 138 Subashiri Live Camera

This live camera lets you check the current conditions along National Route 138 passing through the Subashiri area of Oyama Town. The cameras cover three points: near the 15.4KP, 16.0KP, and 16.93KP marks in Subashiri. All three are well-positioned locations for monitoring road conditions heading from the Subashiri area toward Kagosaka Pass and Lake Yamanaka, and are useful for checking traffic flow, road surface conditions, and visibility.

In particular, when driving toward the Mt. Fuji area or the Fuji Five Lakes, weather can change around Subashiri and Kagosaka Pass even if the sky is clear in the flatlands. Checking the live camera before you depart makes it easier to decide on snow-road preparations or route changes.

Convenient for Checking Road Conditions Around Subashiri and Kagosaka Pass

Subashiri is located along National Route 138 connecting Oyama Town in Shizuoka Prefecture with Lake Yamanaka Village in Yamanashi Prefecture. Nearby are the Subashiri Interchange, Michi-no-Eki Subashiri (roadside rest stop), the Mt. Fuji Subashiri 5th Station trailhead, and roads toward Kagosaka Pass — making it a point through which many vehicles pass for sightseeing, mountain climbing, driving, and commuting.

National Route 138 is used as a route connecting the Gotemba area with Lake Yamanaka and Fujiyoshida, so traffic tends to increase on weekends, holidays, and during tourist seasons. Checking the road flow in advance via the live camera makes it easier to gauge congestion and road surface conditions.

Caution: Snow, Ice, and Poor Visibility in Winter

The area from Subashiri toward Kagosaka Pass is at a high elevation and requires caution for snow and ice in winter. Even when it is raining in the city, snow may be falling around Subashiri and the pass. The live camera lets you check snow accumulation at the roadside, surface whiteness, vehicle flow, and poor visibility.

Before winter drives or travel in the early morning or at night, check both the live camera and traffic and weather information, and prepare winter tires or chains as needed. During snowfall and icing, avoid reckless driving and prioritize safety.

Check Before Passing Through the Subashiri IC and Michi-no-Eki Subashiri Area

The Subashiri area is a key transportation hub where the Higashi-Fuji-Goko Road, National Route 138, and roads toward Lake Yamanaka connect. Checking the live camera before passing through the Subashiri IC or Michi-no-Eki Subashiri area makes it easier to grasp weather and road conditions near the location.

Whether you are using Michi-no-Eki Subashiri as a rest stop, or heading toward the Mt. Fuji Subashiri 5th Station, Lake Yamanaka, or Gotemba, this camera can also be used for advance confirmation. In particular, during holidays, the Mt. Fuji climbing season, autumn foliage season, and snowfall periods, it is reassuring to check current local conditions before planning your travel.

Check Before Traveling Toward Gotemba, Lake Yamanaka, and the Fuji Five Lakes

The National Route 138 Subashiri live camera is useful both for those heading from the Gotemba area toward Lake Yamanaka and the Fuji Five Lakes, and for those traveling from Yamanashi toward eastern Shizuoka. When traveling through Lake Yamanaka, Oshino, Fujiyoshida, Gotemba, or Hakone, checking road conditions in the Subashiri area in advance makes it easier to prepare for congestion and bad weather.

Use the live camera images as a reference for road conditions, but also check the latest information from road administrators and traffic information sources for actual passability and any restrictions in effect.
