After driving north to south through Kyoto Prefecture, the total distance was about 180 kilometers. It is the same as the distance from Tokyo to Niigata Prefecture. (Up to around Echigo Yuzawa) This time, I drove south from Kyotango City in the northernmost part via the Kyoto Longitudinal Highway, Keiji Bypass, Second Keihan, and Keihanawa Highway to Kizugawa City, then turned east and drove to Minamiyamashiro Village. I felt that it was essentially the same as traveling from the Sanin or Hokuriku regions to Kansai. The journey took about 3 hours, and since there was a highway, it wasn't that long. I took a break at the Kyotanba Parking Area on the way. I enjoyed salt ramen and free barley tea as a food review. It was a big metropolitan area, but there were not many large vehicles.
