It was congested from Takaido, but it was not so long. We take the Kanetsu Expressway from Nerima IC and have lunch at Takasaka SA around 11:30. We arrived at Minakamikan hotel before 13:30. Check-in was supposed from 14:00, but we were accepted soon. We took a rest in the room and headed for Minakami Station.
