The "longest straight road in Japan" section of National Route 12.
The historical background of its creation, which is not simply due to a few reasons, and the rise and fall of the surrounding area are explored in the following four chapters:
① The straight road extended in 1990, but is the extended section actually straight?
② How it became Japan's longest straight road and the history of the arduous road construction
③ The development and decline of the surrounding area due to coal mining, and the hopes of recent times
④ Completing the "longest straight road in Japan" and visiting Tappu Mountain, the starting point of its construction
This video is structured as a guide, explaining the route while actually driving along the road and visiting the relevant locations.
