Initial D Manhole Cover 6, Alwin Park

Initial D Manhole Cover 6 is set in Ishidan Alwin Park North Car Park, the small municipal car park marked P4 beside the stone steps in Ikaho Onsen, Shibukawa, Gunma. It is one of seven official Initial D manhole covers Shibukawa City has placed around town, and one of five in Ikaho Onsen.

Ai Yokoyama, animation director of the New Initial D film series, drew all seven covers in full colour. Cover 6 has no characters. It is the cars: Takumi's AE86, Keisuke Takahashi's FD RX-7, Ryosuke Takahashi's FC RX-7 and Mako Sato's Sileighty, all on one cover.

The car park sits by Ishidan Alwin Park next to the stone steps, with the Kingdom of Hawaii Minister's Villa close by. Ikaho Onsen is on the slopes of Mount Haruna, the mountain the series calls Akina.

• The cover puts four of the series' main cars together: the AE86, the FD and FC RX-7s and the Sileighty. No other cover of the seven has as many cars.

• It is set in a working car park near its entrance, so cars come and go around it while you look.

• The bottom of the stone steps, with cover 5 in the square, is a minute's walk away.

• The cover is in Ishidan Alwin Park North Car Park (P4), near the entrance, Ikaho, Ikaho-machi.

• The car park is open 24 hours with 27 spaces (24 standard, 3 kei car), ¥500 for the first 2 hours and ¥100 for each hour after. The city lists it as a 1 minute walk to the stone steps and asks drivers to keep stays to about 2 to 3 hours.

• Buses run from JR Shibukawa Station up to Ikaho Onsen, and covers 2 to 6 are all in and around the town.

• The free Initial D manhole card is not handed out here. It is given out one per person at Shibusan in Shibukawa Ekimae Plaza, in front of JR Shibukawa Station, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day except New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
