Driving Japan Route 42 Kii Peninsula Section | Wakayama City, Wakayama Pref. → Toba City, Mie Pref.

Route 42 is a 493-km long national highway that runs along the Pacific coast of the Atsumi Peninsula and Kii Peninsula from Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture to Wakayama City, Wakayama Prefecture.
The section between Shizuoka and Aichi Prefectures on the Atsumi Peninsula side and the section between Mie and Wakayama Prefectures on the Kii Peninsula side is a long maritime section, so it is not traveled by road but by Ise Bay Ferry.
Since the distance cannot be covered in one go, this video contains approximately 401 km of the Kii Peninsula side of
Mie and Wakayama Prefectures.
The route runs parallel to the JR Kii Main Line, offering both the coastline of the Kii Peninsula and the mountainous inland areas, and there are many World Heritage sites along the route, making it an excellent sightseeing route as well.
