| Total distance | 671.4km | 30.2km | 69.1km | 180km |
National Route 176 is a 180 km major arterial road that runs from Miyazu City in Kyoto Prefecture, through the northern Hanshin area, to Osaka City in Osaka Prefecture.
National Route 2, which has the longest total distance, can take you from Osaka City all the way to Kitakyushu City～
So if you want to go from Nishinomiya to Kitakyushu City, you can just keep following National Route 2 and get there without getting lost even once.
