Japan National Route 10

National Route 10 extends 454.8 kilometers along the eastern coast of Kyushu, connecting Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture to Kagoshima Prefecture through multiple urban centers.

The road received its designation as First Class National Highway 10 in December 1952, followed by reclassification to General National Highway status in April 1965.

The route passes through regions known for traditional crafts, with cities like Kurume producing textiles and Koishiwara creating distinctive regional pottery.

The highway runs parallel to the JR Kyushu Nippo Main Line and intersects with multiple national routes, facilitating transportation between major cities and regional destinations.

National Route 10 traverses four distinct prefectures of Kyushu, providing access to volcanic landscapes, coastal areas, and mountainous regions across the southern Japanese island.
