Japan's Longest Bus Kumano Kodo Route: Nara's Historical Heritage and Onsen (Hot Springs)
With a total length of 169.9 km and 168 stops, the Yagi-Shingu Express Bus is the longest bus route in Japan that does not use expressways. Along the way, the bus travels through Totsukawa Village, which is said to be the largest village in Japan, the World Heritage Site “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range,” and many hot spring resorts known only to those in the know!
