GZG-50 Toyota Century along with the sound of the bells of Amore in the Utsukushigahara Plateau

The Utsukushigahara Plateau is located in Nagano Prefecture, about 200 kilometers west of Tokyo, and is 2,000 meters high above sea level. The climate is cool in summer and the surrounding area is popular as a summer resort (closed by snow in winter). Touring on a motorcycle may be fun, but climbing up and down a hill with this car is not. This Century is families' property and I use it for drive in Tokyo. This car spends most of the year sleeping in the garage. This car has only traveled 900 kilometers in the past year, half of which was this round trip to Nagano. The appearance of this Century is unusually not in black. It is a light blue color close to gray. Toyota gives official and special Japanese paint color names only to Century. It is "瑞雲" （pronounced "Zui-un". It means a cloud maybe in five-colored and purplish that is said to appear when there are signs of happiness, and is sometimes depicted in Japanese traditional paintings. Good luck to you all.
