This time, we will be taking the Yagi-Shingu Line, the longest-distance bus route in Japan. The entire route is 166.9 km. The journey takes 6 hours and 30 minutes. What makes this bus route unique is not only its length, but also that it runs parallel to the Goshin Line, which was originally built as a national railway line but was abandoned midway and was somehow reused as a bus-only route. The Tenji Tunnel on the way is about 5 km long, but it has a history of being abandoned without ever being used as public transportation... But that's not the interesting part...
