Overview of National Route 425
Unlike National Route 42, which runs along the coast of the Kii Peninsula, National Route 425 connects Gobo City in Wakayama Prefecture and Owase City in Mie Prefecture, crossing over mountains.
This road crosses the Kii Mountains, passing through Totsukawa Village, Shimokitayama Village, and Kamikitayama Village in the southern Yoshino region of Nara Prefecture, and intersecting with National Routes 168 and 169.
National Route 425 has not been improved except from Gobo City to Tanabe City, and some parts of it are known as “bad roads.”

National Route 425 is a narrow road that resembles a forest road, with most of the road having less than two lanes.
In particular, the section between Totsukawa and Ryujin before and after Ushimaikoshi is said to be the most difficult section of National Route 425, as there are many places where guardrails have not been installed and the road is narrow and only one lane wide. This section is difficult to pass in many places, and warning signs have been installed.
Along the entire line, there are many places where it is difficult to leave or where guardrails are not installed, and those who are not accustomed to driving are advised not to take the route lightly.
There is a possibility of landslides and traffic restrictions, so it is important to check road restriction information before driving.
Route 425 is a great spot to enjoy beautiful nature and scenery, but its difficult terrain and challenging environment are also part of its appeal.
It is a place worth visiting for touring enthusiasts as it is an adventurous road.
