Hakone Turnpike (Touge) — a legendary Japanese mountain highway recreated for BeamNG, offering a scenic and immersive driving experience inspired by one of Kanagawa Prefecture’s most iconic roads. This mod captures the atmosphere of the real Hakone Turnpike, combining flowing high-speed corners with breathtaking mountain views and carefully refined environmental details.

The Hakone Turnpike is a toll road stretching approximately 16 kilometers through the Hakone mountains, known for its panoramic views of Mount Fuji and the surrounding landscape. Thanks to its wide, fast corners, the road has become a favorite destination for car enthusiasts and motorcyclists alike. Along the route, several unique landmarks and viewpoints are present, including an observation building located near the summit of the pass.

Main features:
