Japan National Route 176, National transport route in Kyoto and Osaka Prefectures, Japan
Japan National Route 176 connects Miyazu in Kyoto Prefecture with multiple cities and extends into Osaka Prefecture. The road passes through populated areas and crosses mountainous terrain before reaching metropolitan zones.
The route was established in 1953 as part of Japan's post-war infrastructure development. It became a key connection improving regional links between the prefectures.
The road follows ancient merchant routes that linked Kyoto and Osaka for centuries. Travelers today can experience the connection between regions that trade historically shaped.
Drivers will find multiple service stations and rest areas spread along the route for stops and breaks. The road connects at various points with other major highways, offering alternative routes and diversions.
The route marks a transition through three distinct landscapes: from Kyoto's mountains to Hyogo's mixed terrain and finally Osaka's urban sprawl. This shift in scenery changes the driving experience at each stage.
